Zimbabwe had been a very peaceful country before the coming of Mr. Morgan Tsvangirai as a political party leader.

He came through the British to disturb the government of President Robert Mugabe because of his land reform policy.Mr. Tsvangirai is a rebel whom the British want to use and kill Mugabe to take the land from the blacks and hand it over to the white minority again.

I strongly advise Mugabe to arrest Mr. Tsvangirai and not only jail him, but try him for treason, murder and the displacement of innocent Zimbabweans.Those African leaders and the West who are in support of Mr. Tsvangirai are not doing any good to Africa and Zimbabwe in particular.

Mr. Tsvangirai's form of democracy is rebellious.Listening to BBC radio, I heard President Dos Santos of Angola calling for Mugabe to stop the violence whereas the perpetrator to me is Mr. Tsvangirai, who seems to be scheming to get money for the acquisition of arms and probably dole out some of it to his family abroad.

Dos Santos seemed to be in support of Mr. Tsvangirai. The big question here is, if Mugabe supported Jonas Malheiro Savimbi who led the UNITA rebels to fight against his government, he (Dos Santos), would he have been the president of Angola today?

Let Dos Santos be informed that Tsvangirai is a rebel just like Savimbi.Mugabe should send troops to boot Tsvangirai out of the Dutch Embassy and throw him into jail where he will wallow for the rest of his life.

As long as there is freedom of speech in Zimbabwe, journalists too, should stop fanning the flames of war in Zimbabwe, especially BBC journalists.I think they are doing so because the white minority are of British extraction.

If the international body wants Mugabe to step down from power they should clean the whole of Africa, starting with Africa's longest-serving leaders, Omar Bongo of Gabon, Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Paul Biya of Cameroon, etc.

It is still a fact that when George W. Bush, both times, stole the presidential elections in the United States, the British and the rest of the Western politicians and their patrons in the corporate mainstream media, did not protest by calling him all the names and adjectives that they have sent President Mugabe's way in the last three days. If it is not the White racism combined with the colonial and imperialist ambitions to undermine an independent and sovereign state in Africa, then probably it is the desire of "the whiteman's burden" to bring democracy to Zimbabwe through overthrowing... [Read Full Text]

Hey Mr Awt I hope you see the comment above by yours truly "ardeshiromm" . Please help us (as usual) see its relevance by shading more light with your majestic thinking ability.

I as a Zimbabwean also says sending what ever military force you are calling peace keepers to a country were there is no war as you and Morgan Tsvangirai have been advocating would just produce a replica of Iraq (an African version). I also think it will be far much better if we send them elsewhere in the world were they are wars.

And by the way... [Read Full Text]

I did... thanks for pointing it out.

I think the point here is that Mugabe was quite willing to murder and torture his own people, something that George Bush never did. And I dont agree at all with what is happening in Iraq at the moment, innocent people getting killed anywhere, be it Iraq or Zimbabwe is the same to me, and that is something terrible. I hate it how people like yourself say, "well, someone else is killing innocent people, so its ok for me to do it too." Its bs. You cant justify the innocents killed in Iraq... [Read Full Text]

Hey Mr Awt_... now you are talking

I am definitely totally against the killing of any human being in what ever form. But I definitely know that 20000 is for too big a number and to call is a genocide??? back then then the bbc called it stopping dis-dents from ripping Zim apart and then blame Mugabe??? Back in 1994 Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe was Knighted by the Queen a fact?? Now you talk of a genocide 24 years ago If this is true and you knew it why did you knight him in 1994 fourteen years ago??? Isnt it... [Read Full Text]

Which ever way you look at it and try to justify it, he murdered 20,000 people. Which in my books, and I'm sure the books of many, most definately genocide.

Author: samaita

You are one funny person I suspect your books are all British news papers of the past five years. FACT FACT FACT thats what we need here don't say stuff you can not substantiate with evidence Back in 1994 Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe was Knighted by the Queen a FACT?? Now you talk of a genocide 24 years ago If this is true and you knew it why did you knight him in 1994 fourteen years ago???

So do we then say It was negligence on the queen's part and her advisers (the wisest men and women in the UK)to... [Read Full Text]

Author: awt_independent

So you think its ok that Mugabe murdered 20,000 of his own people (which is a FACT!) because the queen knighted him? What a joke! You are really just showing people here how rediculous you are!

Author: samaita

A FACT He was knighted after your genocide claims. Bob was knighted in 1994 the genocide claims you are putting across are dated in the 1980s. Please take your time and read comments carefully before you put your own comments.

Author: awt_independent

So because he got knighted its ok that he killed 20,000 people. Sorry, how silly of me for thinking that killing 20,000 people is ok if you get knighted. What was I thinking! I hope you are smart enough to pick up my sarcastic tone here. I somewhat doubt it though.

Author: samaita

What double standards the point here is why knight him if your accusation fourteen years latter are true. Is it all not about the land reform.
