Arms ordered last year! Last year is only a short while ago when planning for this contested election was already in advanced stage. How do we know that the arms order was not part of a contingency plan for 'in-case-we-need-it' scenario as is the case now? Can China show the concerned world the relevant documents to attest to its assertion? Violent suppression of its citizens' rights of all forms is China's cup of tea and if any other government should wish to do the same to its own citizens is perfectly acceptable to China. And since China is so desperate to court Africa for its rich natural resource, arms supply to despotic regimes like Mugabe's is fair game irrespective of how that arms will be used and claim 'non interference in internal affairs of the recipient state. What nonsense China!

Whatever war “British Europe” and its surrogates are fighting in Zimbabwe will not come to see a light of victory. Weapons can be delivered airborne, it is essential to recall the ship without canceling the order and stop the madness of such silly individuals hiding under well meaning organisations. Zimbabwe is not at war apart from idiotic mantra from financially and favorably oiled british puppets masquerading as non governmental organisations. The message is clear from Chinese foreign office that military professors are in Zimbabwe training local forces. If Zimbabwe unleash terror against its people then SADC, AU, UN are extremely qualified to DETECT and ACT not these nonsense Cosatu and connections who have taken it upon themselves to be front soldiers in a ten year british organised war against the well being of Zimbabweans. When Blair asked his generals to invade Zimbabwe no one protested, when Zuma is accused in an arms deal with Europe no one ask for the whereabouts and use of the weapons, when USA chief goes to the gulf states all what he can deal in is weapons, when Kenya is in bloodshed no one asked of weapons supplies from USA. Zimbabwe is not at war, and will never see chaos like in Kenya and other african countries because its electorate is highly literate. We know we can change governments through votes under properly constituted laws. We are being asked to decapitate each other’s head for leadership change as if we are a barbaric nation. Wild and insane armies have invaded Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Palestine and plundered Africa. These mentally challenged military juntas started 1st and 2nd world wars and dropped atomic bombs in Japan. We (Zimbabweans) will vote for new leadership and patiently follow legal due course. George Bush killed hundreds of thousands of American soldiers and innocent civilians within a five year period and no American is enticed to kill each other in order to remove him from white house – they will vote and follow their due legal course like before. Brown was given britain to rule by his friend Tony Blair without national consensus and british citizens are waiting to vote and follow their internal legal process that will usher new leadership. Why don’t you talk of them killing each other but Zimbabweans. Zimbabweans are not at all ignorant and do not need anyone’s foolishness to decide its fate. Zimbabweans are more than capable and unambiguously aware of what is at stake with their country. We will continue to defend these foreign induced wars with PRACE here in ZIM. Only PEACE will shield us from the enemy of north and protect our land. We have been reduced to be observers of our destiny by Britain’s insatiable appetite for other countries’ resources.

What a load of nonsence. You claim Zimbabweans are so educated and literate yet all you need to do is take one look at the state of the country to realise what that the current Zimbabwean government has absolutely no idea how to govern. You cant blame western sanctions targeting the travel of Mugabe government officials for bringing down the Zim economy.

And the whole reason the arms shipment from China was stopped has nothing to do with "British Europe". They just commented on it. The PEOPLE of South Africa, the dock workers and transport unions refused to unload the ship, after their goverment signed an agreement to let it go through. Why? becuase they dont want blood on their hands.

onesoulzim, I am from the U.S. and I am with you! Our countries have been hijacked by thieves who thrive on the blood of the innocent. The people are not stupid and are standing up against the human rights atrocities that have been occurring in both our nations for far too long. History tells us that we will not allow the "elite" to oppress us. It is time that the plight of the people is recognized.

There is no war that the British are fighting in Zim but its all the old bullshit and mischief dirty brainwork of Mugabe regime who paint a false picture with the saying 'Zimbabwe will never be a colony again' through MDC party by the British.What a heap of crock! They use this gimmick for campaigns against MDC but even the rural people of Zim reject this hype and so this mantra is used as an excuse to buy weapons to prepare for a possibility of a British coup d'etal invasion or appoint Morgan Tsvangirayi as their puppet.This is in the minds of the regime only as an excuse to hold on to power even refusing a democratic change enforced by the people through the ballot and instead of feeding starving people of Zim they venture into spending millions US dollars in weaponry. What a dissillusion!

So you say that "there is no war that the British are fighting in Zim" ??? One VERY HUGE FACTS SEEMS TO ESCAPE YOUR MYOPIC NOTICE--The UK, US, and Europe has DECLARED A FINANCIAL WAR AGAINST ZIM! How? By cutting off the loans and credit lines that they use a carrots to control the economies of Africa. Where have you been? Have you had your head in a hole in the ground and your ass up in the air for the past seven years?

I have news for you who keeps their head in a hole--MOST AFRICAN CONTRIES HAVE ALREADY BEEN RE-COLONIZED!!!!!!!!!

Why do you think the hammer has come down on Mr Mugabe--duh could it be that he is resisting re-colonization? Duh--could it be that he is old enough to unstand the tricks that are used by the colonizers? I'm trying to talk person with head in a hole in the ground ass up in the air language here!

The MDC is a PUPPET--PUPPET organization of the ANGLO/AMERICAN DUAL WORLD POWER/EMPIRE!

What a load of rubbish. So the UK and US have stopped loaning the Zim govt money. Would you keep loaning someone money if they NEVER PAID IT BACK? Even Zambia is refusing to sell fuel to Zim because they never get paid. So howcome you don't declare Zambia as starting a financial war with Zim?

Grow up and face the facts. If you don't you will never get out of the mess you're in.

What's wrong with the Chinese involvement in Africa? They are doing exactly what the Europeans did years ago but in a smart way, "divide to conquer". Fellow Africans wake up! Mugabe has lost touch with reality in his own country. The only people standing up for the people of Zimbabwe are the non-African governments like the US and UK. Shame on the SADCC! How can you let that happen right at your doorstep?
