and until then, Mugabe's thug will rape and pillage the nations coffers, and the poor will suffer. There's a reason why Zimbabwe is the 14th most corrupt in the world.
what we "Africans" MUST realized is that there's greed up in the Air by some of this racist and neocolonist who don't want to see any good leaders for Africa. Let's take one, the rescent president of South Africa in which the true behind his dismisser as president was NEVER told. Africans should STOP playing with fire and face their reality or else that countinent "Africa" will Never develop. And if you ask me why; that's just how they racist and neocolonists of the western world want it to be. They want Africa to be their bread basket and dust bin. If these same people happen to win in Zimbabwe, they can doing it to ANY Good African leaders by doint to them the same thing or worst; and what that tells you? We Africans are FOOL. Also, it means will Africans are still face with the darkness and don't able to make better decission for our countinent. If that happen what a shame for zillion of years to come!!!!For this sake; Please remember good African leaders like Oboti, Julius Nyerere etc who such a thing or worst have happened to them. Let's stop being FOOL of ourselves, AFRICANS!!! Africans MUST dig thoroughly into anything and fine the truth brought about our countinent that's/are brought to us by these racist and neocolonists. My last question's this: where is the patriotism for Africa in terms of development, education, love for each africans, all the positive sides? Have you ever seeing a positive side of an African in a Western World? Have you? Though there are many, you will NEVER see such aa outstanding comment giving from the Western World about an African if NO European is involve. Please let's becareful of what Africans do to each other.
Your brother in Christ and Allah,
The talk about Ian Smith and his Rhodesia subjects does nothing to Zimbabwe nor it's future. Few people in Zimbabwe can relate to Ian Smith and his regime. Most people who were in their twenties or less during his regime either do not care who he is or view him as an oppressor. Hey, "Rhodes" I hear you, but I really do not care about Smith. Smith claimed once that entire villages would attend his funeral, that usual wishful thing! Alas, Smith died a lonely man in a nursing home in SA. With Smith, the question of race, land, imperialism always comes into play. I would rather focus on what is happening now. Smith in all his rule never at anytime recieve the majority vote. Exclusively, all people who voted for him were white at less than 200,000 of that group. That in Zimbabwe would be running in fifth place. Let's not talk about that dead "Ian Smith" white anglo" dictator
Even Field Marshall Idi Amin had "professors" defending him to his last days as the Life President of Uganda, all in the midst of decay and death. Whatever these people profess, it must be sick and grotesque stuff.
There is decay and death all over the world.
And your point is?
Professors have been heavily involved in giving economic advice to the President in the USA and the PM in UK. Result: The current worst financial meltdown in USA since the World War 2.
We have western and Asian economies now in recession - widely believed to be a depression.
Do you suggest that village idiots were advising President Bush - so a to avert economic disaster?
Well. Maybe you have a different take on things: Whoever - professor or not - that advised Al Hajji Idi Amin was bad. And you have no quarrels with the West and their current economic woes. Certainly you are not calling for Cde Mugabe to go for a total "regime change" in the Western countries ...
It sounds to me like a case of inferiority complex.
Chokora, you really have no idea do you. Do you live in a cardboard box? Actually, I wouldnt be surprised. Have you not seen that there was an election (with no violence) in the US which saw the opposition (OBAMA) elected as the next President. Is this not regime change? Is this not an example of the people not being happy with the current government and using their democratic rights to vote for change? Why is this difficult for you? It all comes down to the people wanting a change of leadership. It happened in America, why cant it happen in Zimbabwe? Why doenst Mugabe know when to stand down?
"Mugabe Must Go, Says West"
You have enough problems of your own. Have you solved your bigger financial meltdown woes yet? What do you know?
Shut up West, Says Africa.

We Zimbabweans are not proud of the economy but we are very proud of Mugabe for standing up to the greedy west and kitchen boy blacks like you! You are still very blind BOY!
and for beating his own people into submission to win the run off election? How about for beating protesters too? Sure is lots to be proud of
Author: kubatana6 "We Zimbabweans are not proud of the economy "
Companies failing and going bankrupt. People becoming homeless by the millions. And millions of people being laid off. People becoming homeless by the millions. Diseases galore and more people who can't afford to go to hospital for treatment. More women getting into prostitution for survival.
Does that sound familiar? It is not about Zimbabwe but USA today.
Get a perspective.
The economy of USA is in just as much trouble and it is NOT because any foreigner applied any economic sanctions.
The economies of the UK and the EU countries are in a recession too. Same goes for China and Japan. And Australia.

--- Zimbabweans are in the same morass as the Americans and the Europeans and the Asians.
Zimbabweans have nothing to be ashamed of. Nobody anywhere in the world is happy of their economy.
Look at it this way: The economies of the west are in trouble - even BEFORE anyone (not even Cde Mugabe) applies any sanctions on them!
Chokoro... more lies I see...
How can "People becoming homeless by the millions" be true when there are only 744,000 homeless people. More lies and exageration.
The economy of the US is no where inear in as much trouble as Zimbabwe. Do you seriously think that unemployment in the US is anywhere near as bad in Zimbabwe? Or that inflation is anywhere near as high? Come on...
You say the wests economies are in trouble... if are you seriously saying the you would rather be in Zimbabwe, please stay there. You are welcome to swim in your own filth.
This post shows the level you have broght yourself down to. That you can term Mandela, Tutu, Annan and others Benjamins is a disgrace. I suggest you stay in the Ivory Coast and keep your vile, ignorant opinions there.
Now we know where and what he is!!!!!!! Sylvia?...is that you? It's nice to see that you've dredged up yet another client for your one (wo)man Ministry of Misinformation. What's wrong? Did they finally chase you out of the Sierra Leone forums? I hope you're not being paid in Zim $ or you won't be able to afford the new edition of "Sophmoric Paranoid Political Rants for Dummies" or whatever little green book it is you use.
Mugabe has failed his people, he has failed africa and he has failed his conscience. he has reduced the state to zero! the only cash left for zimbabweans now is for poor old robert and his sweet babe! this man has developed a new axis of evil and it is time to blow his head off...and i mean it, blow his head off!!! there is no need to think thabo mbeki or anyone can resolve the situation. mbeki was a sham to the hope of the mandela revolution rather than a glory. so those bought-for-a-penny slaves of mugabe who still use the word 'hero' when referring to him, go hide in the cave else your heads too will be blown off. the real heroes are those who were in the revolution with him in the 70s and 80s whom he later murdered!!
As Mugabe likes to remind us, under Ian Smith, whites ate steak while blacks ate sazda.
What he does not like to see mentioned is that, under Mugabe, Mugabe eats steak, the other "war heroes" eat sazda, and everyone else in Zimbabwe eats dirt.
