How can nations so far away, themselves in the middle of an Economic crisis, affect the implementation of an African solution to an African problem by doing such a small thing as imposing travel sanctions on a few individuals who in any case keep cursing the west and driving out the few remaining white farmers?

They are well aware that they are just blowing smoke. They're just using that as an excuse to cover their own pathetic asses.

Notice that they depended on Mugabe for all their information. He wouldn't be biased now would he?

"The Extraordinary Summit also urged Member States to inform the Executive Secretary on the respective pledges to support Zimbabwe’s recovery programme, within two weeks from the date of the meeting."... we wait with baited breath. You would think, that given the urgency of the matter, the Member States would have come to the summit armed with concrete offers of assistance.

Let them rant: the people of no---rhodie parrots being a sub-set thereof.

In demanding the lifting of targeted sanctions, and seeking international financial support for Zimbabwe, the SADC has forgotten the Golden Rule - "those who have the gold, make the rules".

No country is obliged to play by the rules of donor nations - but if they don't, they don't get any gold.

And, sometimes, as in THESE times, those who have the gold are STUPID, as is unarguably evidenced by the current global "economic meltdown."

When those are stupid wield power, injustice, greed, and the amplification of the systemic negative effects of capitalism are inevitable.

So, go figure: Who has the gold, dude?

I feel I need to give you a little lesson and teach you the concept of Venn diagrams. You do know what Venn diagrams are dont you?

Firstly there is a circle, lets call it Rhodesians. This circle is empty. But lets just squeeze TexasBob in there, just for the fun of it.

Then, out side of that circle, and not touching or overlapping that circle, is second circle, lets call that one "Well informed and educated people that are knowledgeable about the happenings in Zimbabwe and should be listened to". Now in that circle you'll find me, Julhman, Kjrs, Prem, afric35, Phiri and rmkooistra, amongst others.

Finally there is a third circle, also not touching or overlapping the first 2 circles. Lets call this one "Those brainwashed by Mugabe with no logical argument bent on removing any debate for fear it will show they actually have no basis for their argument". In this circle sits yourself, Chokora and Takunya.

Now this is where Venn diagrams get interesting. Within that circle, yup the one with you in it, sits another circle called "people that consider Idi Amin a hero". In this sits you and Chokora.

Now. Time for your homework... Write 1000 words on how it feels to be the exact same thing you hate so much. I know you know what I'm taking about.

Haha I know what you're thinking... SLAM DUNK! Thats what you're thinking isnt... ahuh! I hear ya!

Still the same: we don't care about rhodie historiographies, annals, chronicles, and, ABOVE ALL, OPINIONS, especially yours.

By the way, and this for non-rhodies (and we don't define rhodies 'racially), the explication of connections among entities or people cannot be done with the rustic categorical logic of Aristotle, from which Venn Diagrams are abstracted.

Not even modern first order propositional extensional logic is adequate; a better shot would be a VERSION OF SECOND ORDER LOGIC, which includes the logic of RELATIONS and quantification of PREDICATES.

Anyway, the land is more important than all this logical crap: all together now---THE LAND WILL NEVER REVERT.

And, we don't care about....

Haha. 3 circles, like in "BO-O-NGO, banana?" Anyway point 12 now "The extraordinary summit mandated a coordination committee to visit major capitals in Europe, Asia and America as well as the major financial institutions to mobilize support for Zimbabwe's economic recovery program". Please wally's (in case you would get a visa anyway) save yourself the trip and put that money in the recoveryprogram. An Email to the gatekeeper of the relevant institutions will do. I heared maybe the first begging team was already underway from subsaharan Africa. Unfortunately for them hundreds of these ILLEGAL INVADERS ended up dead on the Libyan beaches. What happened? Is the SADC broke, no visas for the committee, did the new Zimbabwean miss tourism spread the wrong maps with the new Zimbrochures or did the Libyans come with one of these african solutions?

None of this hogwash, rhodie doom and gloom, really addresses your issue: the land, baby.

And, on that issue, silly rhodies:

"We don't care about your historiographies, your chronicles and annals, and ABOVE ALL, your silly, comical, and donkey OPINIONS.

Success does not argue with failure."

Admit it: LOSERS, YOU ARE.

Silly.

Blah blah blah... do you ever get bored of writing the same old tripe?

You try and get everyone to focus on the land, but that argument is 10 years old now. No one cares! The majority of people want land to be in the hands of Zimbabweans. Just not corrupt filthy politicians that have reduced the productivity of these farms to almost zero.

The point now is that you have a dictator in power that got less votes than John McCain. And he wont give up power to the people. And who abuses his position to steal, rape, murder and thus the people of Zimbabwe suffer. And you support this? Why?

Richerson / dick....erson, do you know that you are constantly calling the victors " loosers?" You have also been telling some of those G20 heads " to hang" and "we don't want their money" when in actual fact you are dying for their help. Why be so stupid? The Ethiopian Prime minister Zenawi, as one voice with the African Trade ministers, one of only two African leaders invited to attend this G20 summit (the other being South African Kgalema) literally begged Mr Gordon Brown that the richest countries cannot afford to ignore Africa in the wake the global economic meltdown. But as Africa is only about 3% of world trade, that plea may fall into deaf ears. So what have you gained by your arrogance when you know full well that even when times were good for you, you still needed co-operation from the West. The reason I am bringing this up is that it is embarrassing to tell people to take a hike and then be asking for their help which is what I am seeing happening with you. By the way why was your Mugabe not invited? I thought you said Mugabe was a big shot. Mugarbage hey?

Child, you are one stupid rhodie.

Again, we don't give a rat's tail about rhodie historiography, annals, chronicles, and, above all, OPINIONS.

We don't engage loser opinions or sentiments or even nonsense.

We don't care about the PEOPLE OF NO, THE TAILS OF INVADER BRITAIN.

We talk about an African revolutionary surge, and this rhodie throws Ethiopia in our face.

Ethiopia?

They are with the INVADERS in thieving London because they deputized for INVADERS in Somalia, where they got a good, a very good kick in the ass.

Mugabe dinning with INVADERS?

YOU ARE TRULY INSANE.

richerson, whilst the G20 feasted on quail, Mugabe would have had to feast on crow.

Beggarson, who, apart from North Korea, would invite bloodstained pariah Mugabe to dinner? Just continue to be silly is your hallmark! Little pea-like brain, what else can you demonstrate? You are as much a failure as the "failed" state of Zimbabwe under you lunatic dad "Bob".
