Whether they had anything to do with ZANU or not, still makes it ZANU’s fault. [edit]

What makes the situation even more unbearable is the fact that one can turn on your own people, based on the crap an old washed up megalomaniac spews forward from that toilet he calls a mouth.

My heart goes out to the Zimbabwean people. Hang in there sunshines. Madness does have a limited lifespan.

I look forward to the day when the people of Zimbabwe, and all of Africa, will no longer know of fear and poverty but of democracy and peace.

Man does not fear danger unless that danger is a coward, as in this case, with the senseless cowardly attack on wonderful people who cared so deeply for their homeland and people.I know that God will be their judge, however when the “rouge leader” belives that he is to rule for life as it is willed by “his” God, then I belive that it is time for God to be left out of the “debate” and man with his ability and gift to choose needs to act or forever share the blame of inaction and apathy.

My thoughts are with all the campbells,”BE STRONG AND KNOW THAT WE ARE HERE FOR YOU…. ESPECIALLY BRUCE,CATHY AND LAURA AND ALL THE KIDS.

Just seen the news clips.

At the end of a two-day summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, AU leaders approved a resolution calling for the “creation of a government of national unity” in Zimbabwe. (BBC website)

So I guess Transitional Government is out of the question.

The GNU (known locally as the Wildebeest) is a dangerous creature and should not be approached. This is how Nkomo got eaten up, and as I understand it the MDC is dead against it (as is nearly everyone else).

A transitional government would exist only to oversee free and fair elections. This involves tip-toeing around the question of whom the generals answer to, but is otherwise what a lot people see as a way forward, i.e. resolving the problem created by the AU-nullified elections. This I think is what the MDC have been making overtures about.

Given the vagueness of media coverage, I think we need to keep a clear head about when people are talking about a GNU and when they are talking about the other thing.

Hope that helps!

The wives were sitting a few rows behind the front. Grace was there alright.

She seems to have become an even more powerful influence on him in the last few months, and judging by his demented outburst with journalists, he needs all the help he can get.

One thing is for certain - any deals put on the table in dealing with Mugabe will have to include all the Zimbabwean military bigwigs and possibly a large section of the cabinet.

Such large scale pardoning, as may be required, of a group of known and documented human rights abusers and down-right criminals will possibly be a first in the history of modern international diplomacy.

If democratic governments and institutions respond indecisively for much longer the ideal of democracy and its future as a force of moral well being and development of humankind is seriously compromised.

Talk of governments of national unity seems to be the latest cop-out. The principle of such unity should be to pool resources, taking the best from both sides to build one concerted effort at political and social development. This concept is turning out to be secondary to the current purpose of allowing losers to be winners and sweeping under the carpet a host of misdeeds. This is to say nothing of providing an escape route for some from world justice.

I remember those days well … going for a day-outing to Lake Mac, driving in convoy with at least 3 firearms in the group, Agric-alert radios on farms and in houses, brutal tortures without consideration for race, colour, creed or age… Yes, african terrorism rears its ugly head once again. They can scream racism, colonialism, white/black as much as they like .. truth is, it’s not about colour .. it’s power .. at any cost! A person who is THIS power hungry and who characteristcally displays pathalogical lies, total manipulation of the law and the people, bald-faced disregard for authority and humankind, AND carried out with such intense arrogance about it all would be defined by psychiatrists as a psychopath!

Didn’t you all find it so amusing that Mugabe is bellowing ‘colonialism’ when his own house is decidedly colonial in decor and his inauguration was graced by a man dressed in colonial regalia and a Barristers wig ?!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA It’s long been rumoured that Robert Mugabe has Syphillis of the brain .. I tend to agree because his acts are simply bizarre and without substance!

Mugabe is staying here for the AU summit;
Lovely place.

Good to see Mugabe getting some pressure at the AU summit:

Whilst we must remember that what these poor souls have experienced is similar, and in some respects not as bad, to/as the torture so many Zimbabweans have endured under this brutal regime for the 28 years of its misrule, this is a particularly insane act. It comes barely two weeks before the Campbells appear before the SADC Tribunal, which recently granted them an interdict against the Zanu PF regime. Such a brazen act will undoubtedly infuriate the presiding judges and I pity whoever has to appear on behalf of the regime to justify this type of brutality.

I am reminded of Psalm 7 which will apply with full force:

Psalm7:14 - 16

“He who is pregnant with evil and conceives trouble gives birth to disillusionment.
He who digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit he made.
The trouble he causes recoils on himself;
his violence comes down on his own head.”

If Zanu PF regime had planned how to alienate himself from the SADC Tribunal they could not have done a better job than they have though this atrocity.

The fact that President Mbeki refuse to get involved and are persistent in saying that “there is no crisis in Zimbabwe” does not only let the people of Zim down, but ALSO the people in his own country!!!!

It’s time the world takes action and send military help into Zim, to save the helpless victims from the Mogabe regime. He IS the worst dictator the world has ever seen.

Yes, the voting is over and he’s been “INAUGURATED” (I still fail to see the logic in THAT, when he clearly rigged the results), but now the true suffering of the Zimbabwean people start. Those who can’t produce the voting ink on their fingers, will sadly, now be killed.

SO much for human rights!!! In Zim there is only ONE right and that is Mugabe’s will. As he himself claimed “only God can take him from his post”. Well, maybe it’s time the international community act on behalf of God AND the people of Zimbabwe.

My prayers go out to those innocent people and I sincerely hope the powerful leaders in the world would act, before it’s too late! HOW many more innocent people must die, before THEIR human right are met, instead of lifting the ego of an old dictator?????
