Mugabe and his cohorts have their necks to protect and will do whatever they can to save each other. The whole lot of them will have to be forced out by a coallition of local countries; almost certainly by force. I know it will mean bloodshed, but I'm certain it will be better to get it over with sooner than later.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('271859','LuanshyaBlue'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('271859','LuanshyaBlue','There seems to be an increasing number of correspondents living in the real world now, thank heavens.\r\nMugabe and his cohorts have their necks to protect and will do whatever they can to save each other.\r\nThe whole lot of them will have to be forced out by a coallition of local countries; almost certainly by force.\r\nI know it will mean bloodshed, but I\'m certain it will be better to get it over with sooner than later.'); return false;">Quote from this comment</a></div> There seems to be an increasing number of correspondents living in the real world now, thank heavens.
Mugabe and his cohorts have their necks to protect and will do whatever they can to save each other.
The whole lot of them will have to be forced out by a coallition of local countries; almost certainly by force.
I know it will mean bloodshed, but I’m certain it will be better to get it over with sooner than later.

And if Mugabe is removed from power, they will form part of the insurgency against the new government, along with those police and army men who have something to lose.

Anyone who thinks a transfer of power will be the end of the story should think again.

Until this is realised by everyone invloved in the political process in and around Zimbabwe, no progress will be made. Either a coalition of Southern African countries, perhaps under the auspicies of Ian Khama, force Mugabe and his cohorts out on the basis of a flagrant denial of human rights in Zimbabwe, or we let Mugabe produce his fatuous goverment and wait for it and the country to implode in mass bloodshed. Mbeki will have much blood on his hands but that seems not to worry him; it certainly won't give Mugabe and Shiri any sleepless nights.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('271857','LuanshyaBlue'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('271857','LuanshyaBlue','At risk of becoming boring, the murderous Mugabe, Shiri etc etc will not give up power voluntarily under ANY circumstances.\r\nUntil this is realised by everyone invloved in the political process in and around Zimbabwe, no progress will be made.\r\nEither a coalition of Southern African countries, perhaps under the auspicies of Ian Khama, force Mugabe and his cohorts out on the basis of a flagrant denial of human rights in Zimbabwe, or we let Mugabe produce his fatuous goverment and wait for it and the country to implode in mass bloodshed.\r\nMbeki will have much blood on his hands but that seems not to worry him; it certainly won\'t give Mugabe and Shiri any sleepless nights.'); return false;">Quote from this comment</a></div> At risk of becoming boring, the murderous Mugabe, Shiri etc etc will not give up power voluntarily under ANY circumstances.

Anyway, if they are youths they cannot be liberation fighters as they weren't even born then. They are simply paid thugs, utilized by the Zanu authorities to interfere with the democratic process of the country. If only they realised that the MDC is a peoples movement, aiming only to better the lives of all Zimbabweans, including them. If they could look further than their noses they would realise what learning and job prospects they would have if the country was rich again. Morgan Tsvangirai is not some product of a priveleged background. He does not even have a high school diploma. He had to work hard in his young teens to help his parents with the cost of raising his siblings. He was, like millions of others throughout history, one of those who have to struggle every day to make a living from the land. He desperately wants to improve the lives of his fellow countrymen, especially the youth, who are the future. And he has to be repaid with actions like this, all because an old man and his cronies want to hang on to total power by their fingernails. How tragic is that?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('271851','True Grit'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('271851','True Grit','It is a pity that these Zanu-PF militia youths who are sealing off by-election areas just for the purpose of preventing MDC supporters from taking part in an election cannot be brought to their senses.
