		<description>Sokwanele,

I am sure you are comforted to some degree from raeding all these messages of support and prayer.

However, the previous blogger is right to comment on the fact that we are not getting the real news stories here in the UK. For example we had a top news reporter cover Zim the other day and the report was terrible it did give us the facts and focus on what the troubles mean to the lives of normal people.

I know that here in the Uk we are being systematically dumbed down by the media and our Government and several people call our present Prime Minister Gordon Mugabe, he has raped this country of its wealth.

Sokwanele, be sure that we can and will assist whever we can and with God&#039;s help you will find peace and an end to this nightmare. I am very cocerned that with all these beatings of people in Zim if Bob panics we could be seeing another Ruanda coming!&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;201614&#039;,&#039;Saidia&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;201614&#039;,&#039;Saidia&#039;,&#039;Sokwanele,\r\n\r\nI am sure you are comforted to some degree from raeding all these messages of support and prayer.\r\n\r\nHowever, the previous blogger is right to comment on the fact that we are not getting the real news stories here in the UK.

		<description>What astounds me, living in the UK, is that no one tells us what is happening. It&#039;s not that we don&#039;t care - we just don&#039;t know. Maybe if Zim had vast oil fields the world would sit up and take notice. My thoughts are with you all.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;109&#039;,&#039;M&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;109&#039;,&#039;M&#039;,&#039;What astounds me, living in the UK, is that no one tells us what is happening.

		<description>Thank you Hanna. We set this blog up in an effort to try and give people around the world an idea of what it is like to live in Zimbabwe for ordinary people. Mainstream news tends to focus on the big stories, and the day by day experience of trying to just do your shopping, pay your school fees, find fuel, is lost to many. No one can &#039;walk in our shoes&#039; exactly, but we can try and convey our , and others, experiences as best we can.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;107&#039;,&#039;Sokwanele&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;107&#039;,&#039;Sokwanele&#039;,&#039;Thank you Hanna.

		<description>Hi there,
I have been checking up on the website www.zimbabwesituation.com for the latest happenings in Zimbabwe.I am sure that with the atrocities inflicted on the the people there,the website cannot cover every one of them.I am really glad to find out about this weblog:) My fiance is currently living in Zimbabwe,and living outside Zimbabwe and not knowing what will happen to him every single day and only having the ability to pray for him and the people of Zimbabwe has been my daily routine for the past 7 months.I pray to God that the little hope which everyone clings onto will stay in everyone&#039;s hearts,and guide everyone of us with the hope,faith and love to get through this terrible situation.Honestly,the word &#039;situation&#039; is too trifle a word to encompass what all of you are experiencing daily.

Take care,and God Bless All of You
