Encouraging Mugabe to talk to the MDC is a big mistake. Has everyone
forgotten what happened to Joshua Nkomo in the 80s? Mugabe promised to
"talk" to Nkomo and work towards "unity" and what happened? Mugabe, who
had promised to "talk" to Nkomo then stated: "ZAPU and its leader, Dr.
Joshua Nkomo, are like a cobra in a house. The only way to deal effectively
with a snake is to strike and destroy its head." Mugabe then unleashed the
Fifth Brigade upon Nkomo's Matabeleland homeland in Operation Gukurahundi,
killing more than 20,000 Ndebele civilians in an attempt to destroy ZAPU
and create a one-party state.
Talk to Mugabe? Better be prepared to run for your life and have your
neighbors killed.
