Quite misinformed!!

Today's Mail and Guardian (South Africa) echoed through an article entitled "propspects dim for Zim peace deal" sums it all, that is: Maverick Mugabe will not accept a power-sharing deal that fails to recognise his re-election or seeks to reverse his land reform programme, as reported last Friday by the state-owned newspaper, The Herald.

Well, well!

Maverick Mugabe is scheming with his cronies to cheat Mbeki as well!! Guts, he has indeed since he has turned his citizens into billionaires who feel destitutes anyway.

What is worse is the utterances of the South African foreign ministry spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa about the basic freedom people have to express their views on burning issues of the day. He questioned the right of Kenyan PM Odinga to speak forthright against murderous Mugabe!

Why Mamoepa does not ask himself why 5 million Zimbabweans have sought refuge in his country and try to challenge the perpetrator to stop destabilising the South African society? Where was he when the world decried the necklaced killings of innocent Zimbabweans in Jo'burg last month?

Mouth shut in order not to displease the monster Mugabe? His silence to the atrocities Mugabe is commiting reflects his cowardness to blindly follow as a yesman his master!

Let it be known that during the anti-apartheid struggle he welcomed its condemnation from people across the world while today he is showing his ungratefulness to an African PM who just want to denounce maverick Mugabe who has unleashed as much terror as the racist apartheid regime - why? Simple to prevent commoners from establishing a government based on the will of the majority.

How ungrateful comrade Mamoepa?? Why don't you apologise to Africans generally for criticising the Kenyan PM on his right to denounce violence everywhere?

A message to Raila

Kibaki was technically knocked down by Raila but utterly refused to accept defeat for reasons only him, Museveni and Bush Jr knows and as a result more than 5000 POOR and INOCCENT Kenyans losted their lives let hundred of thousands who are still internally displaced.

Bob was narrowly defeated by Tsavingrai and candidly admitted and we are told by the western media that so many have died.

Raila has nothing to tell Bob in this regard.

Zimbabwe / AFRICA: Power Sharing after Faulty Elections That Led to the Death of Innocent People.

I am sometimes ashamed of being an African, or having African roots, if I may put it that way. I am ashamed not because I think the continent is not good. I am ashamed because most of the leaders we have had in Africa, or continue to have are brainless, shameless, dangerous and worst than the least animals that walk the face of this good earth. The few good and intelligent ones we have had were either assasinated or struck by other misfortunes. Leaders like Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Prof. Patrice Lumumba of Zaire(now the DRC), The Rev.(Dr.) William R. Tolbert of Liberia, Captain Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso; the only living good ones include, the Great Nelson Mandela of South Africa, the peoples' general, Amandou Tounmani Toure of Mali, and somehow Mama Ellen Johnson - Sirleaf of the wonderful land of Liberia - Africa's first independent republic.

News report that there is going to be another power sharing in Africa - this time in Zimbabwe is a regret. I do not oppose power sharing because of my conviction in popular participation and integration, however, I denouce it when bad, greedy and ruthless rulers refuse to honor the will and wishes of their people as expressed through electoral systems only because they know that the end results would boil down to some mis-shift power sharing after "peace talks".

Power sharing should be done in a spirit of oneness and national unity not because some tyrant refuses to leave power after decades of misrule, thief and womanizing.

Kibaki did it in Kenya, and nothing happens and he is still serving as president of Kenya even though he is very much dyfunctional due to illness and old age. Now Mugabe is doing the same thing even while he approaches his 90s, a very old age. This is going to be a pattern throughout Africa once the others can get away with such outrageous habit.

I do not see the need to blame the West for anything that happens in Africa; because, and if our leaders use their brains and common sense, the socalled West will have no way of penetrating a single African nations. "Western control and penetration" as our out- of - touch politicians and activsits would argue occur because the West knows that they are dealing with leaders that have no common sense.

Finally, China is not a friend to Africa, and every decent African should know that. News report that China blocked sanctions against Zimbabwe at the U.N. Security Council because Mbeki encouraged them to do so is no suprised news. The Chinese are always in their own interest, and besides, their leadership is one of the most reprisive regimes in human history. The genocide in Darfur, Sudan is largely due to China's interest in drailing oil in that part of the continent. President Bashir of Sudan is just used, but the Chinese are the real people committing the genocide of Africans. They are the sponsors of the genocide. If they stop drailing oil there, the conflict will end.

May God bless Africa and all within its borders.

courmessie,

Ashamed of being an African ? – I am sorry to say this but I think – plastic surgery Michael Jackson style might be the best option. As for good leaders – I may agree with you to some extent but have feelings that Nkrumah/ Nyerere/ Sankara and Lumumba would have supported Mugabe’s course. As for Mama Sirleaf i am yet to see any patriotism in her heart. She has been part and parcel of various regimes in Liberia including SAMUEL Doe. As for the west let me tell you that they are to blame for almost everything. From looting, brainwashing, slavery, colonialism, imperialism, neo colonialism, divide and rule, wars, deceases and so forth. For the Chinese at least we know their motive.They are not hypocrites.I like them.

This article is nothing but propaganda. There is no resolution to Zimbabwe's situation whatsoever without the absolute removal of Mugabe and his henchmen.

Propaganda?? Do you even know what the word means? The Zimbabwe independent is a weekly independent paper which is not Gvnt owned. Say all you can. Its only less than a week left and lets not speculate. Its a good thing neither of you guys are polititians.
