Zimbabwe was moving rapidly to join countries such as Somalia to become a "full-blown failed state," former United Nations chief Kofi Annan said in the Netherlands on Tuesday.
[ See Article ]
It is Kofi's Ghana that provided Mugabe with sanctuary before he went back to Zimbabwe to hijack Zimbabwe's liberation struggle, that had many outstanding heros, such as Joshua Nkomo and Sithole.
In Ghana Mugabe went to school, worked as a teacher, and married his first wife: Sally. How bad could Ghana's Kofi be towards Mugabe, when Ghana fed, clothed, educated and ultimately gave him a job and a place to raise a family ?
Mugabe always forgets the hand that fed him. He is not even aware that in 1980 he was voted into office by the majority of Zimbabweans who did not go to war. But now he thinks that all who were at war are his allies. People are dying but dinga ririkutoseka zvaro!! I have read on this site of a woman who had accident with her bowel in a banking hall because of cholera and I am quite sure if it were Grace, Dinga ringadayi ramhanya mhanya. I am sure Zimbabweans now know who might restore their dignity not these funny people in Zanu PF.

Did Kofi have anything to do with offering sanctuary?
Moving toward a failed state. Give me a break. It has been parked in a failed state status for over a year or more. It is so sad....talk, talk talk, and more talk...and nothing happens...I guess it is time to plow it under and start all over. if there is anyone alive.

"On the other hand, Zimbabwe was once one of the most prosperous in Africa. Due to the abject failure of its leadership, it is now moving rapidly to becoming a full-blown failed state."
Mmm... Madiba recently said something similar. These 'Uncle Toms'are certainly coming out of the wood work these days. Before you know it there will be another 'Uncle Tom' in the Whitehouse also talking about the failure of leadership. Bob - best you start looking at whats on the housing market in Caracas and Havana. If I were you, I wouldn't look anywhere on the African continent, apart from Libreville. How is your French or Spanish?
Moribund voices of Kofi Annan's tails. Kofi, the reactionary voice of the West in Africa.
Dude, we ain't listening.
Get lost!
More comments from Shallowhead off the topic.
THE SAGA OF THE EDUCATION OF BONEHEAD CONTINUES: MORE GRAMMAR LESSONS.
BONEHEAD 'wrote': "More comments from Shallowhead off the topic."
PROPER ENGLISH USAGE: "More comments from Shallowhead that are off the topic."
BONEHEAD: please learn how to write.
I suggest that you take some grammar lessons from Cdr. Mugabe who, even according to his NEO-CON DETRACTORS, has mastered the language of the British looters and rapists; British autocrats: British imperialism.
MORE GRAMMAR LESSONS FOR BONEHEAD ARE OBVIOUSLY IN THE OFFING.

"in the offing" is not a correct expression. If anyone needs grammar lessons, Jallohlaw, its YOU. :-D

WOW!
And not once did he mention the economic sanctions applied on Zimbabwe by his wife's white people.
I suppose that while he was the west's boy at the UN, he willed himself not to perceive any correlation between the economic sanctions applied on Iraq by the west and the deterioration of the quality of life of Iraqi - and the death of nearly a million kids from opportunistic, easily curable diseases.
And he perceives no effects of economic sanctions applied on Cuba over the decades on the life of Cubans.
And to think that Africans felt honored to have an African heading the white man's UN! [of course the white man carefully chooses his stooge: You didn't expect them to have a Moammar Gadhafi or a Kwame Nkrumah in that seat, did you?]

Maybe Anan missed the wave of colonization that saw millions of his ancestors slaughtered, displaced or shipped into slavery - by the ancestors of the very people to whom he is presenting a case for the next wave of victimization of Africans.
But Annan ought to know what goes on in a "regime change" like one that took place during his wake at the UN . Is he agitating for the victimization of his own people?
Agitating for the rape, torture and slaughter of his own people - just because they finally rejected the victimization and rose up to lay claim to THEIR ancestral lands?
Truthfully, it is both comical and at times painful/ sad/ sombre/ disheartening to witness an African nailing his own coffin shut. Same agents: The African may yet be exterminated like the Aztecs, Incas, tribes of American Indians, the Australian Aborigines ...
chokora, as i am not know which sanctions are hurting the good people of Zimbabwe, can you please explain to me which sanctions are hurting the everyday Zimbabweans?
I have yet to get an answer from anyone that is against the sanctions the describe which ones are hurting the normal people of Zimbabwe and on this forum it is always "sanctions are hurting the normal people of Zimbabwe" and no one has ever been able to show which ones are hurting the normal Zimbabweans.
I wait with baited breath for an answer, but i assume one will never come because no one is able to say because they do not know.
You are very clever I like that.
True sanctions Zimbabwe democracy bill Zimbabwe democracy bill And similar sanctions
False sanctions - travel ban. Armani suits and like are made in hong kong.
No country rich or poor can survive without credit (never mind the badmouthing) Read the Zimbabwe democracy bill - it is about starving the people, NO worse, making sure that they cannot do anything but wait for someone to give them handouts The real clever bit about the sanctions is something I hope you will figure out yourself.
Can you be more specific please. Can you explain how one country that doenst pay its debt, should be allowed more credit? How much money do you think that Mugabe has in the bank, embesseled out of the nations coffers?
The entire world economy is falling apart because dictators like Mugabe believe credit (aka "free money that I don't have to pay back ever") is a civil right, indeed an inalienable right to all humanity.
They are, of course, wrong. The fastest way to completely destroy the value of your money is to give it away to those who are not worthy of it.
In the Carboniferous Epoch We were promised abundance for all By robbing selected Peter To pay the collective Paul But although we had plenty of money There was nothing our money could buy And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said, "If you don't work, you die."
Chokora, are you telling more lies again? Like the time you said that nearly 1 million children are raped in the UK every year... Some more here... "The African may yet be exterminated like ...tribes of American Indians, the Australian Aborigines"
Last time I checked there were still American Indian tribes and also Aborigines.
More lies Chokora? Why dont you tell some truths, rather than trying to exagerate to make a point.
Mendacious Bonehead, tomorrow it'll be grammar lessons all day.
I'll rock the ratpack with corrective verba, in an essay to obviate its verbotten destruction of the structures of a language most beautiful: the English Language.
The language police will be out in full force Morgen.
Cheers from the City that humiliated Brown, Harare.
If the language police come out you'll be the first to be arrested :-D
Shallow-head once again you have no substance to your posts. And you keep making up words. Verbotten is not a word. Verba is not a word. Ratpack is not a word. Why do you continue to fail to recognise that the whole point of communication is to be understood? Why would you rather be seen to have correct grammar and be misunderstood than vice-verse?
He probably means "verboten" which is German for "forbidden". Even so, he has, as usual, used the word incorrectly. :-D
I have a word for you, Jallohlaw, look this one up:
WIBBLE!
Everything in Zimbabwe is like a cartoon show. Mugabe does not care at all he is only interested in perpetuating his selfish rule. Everything is haywire.
