President Obama said in his speech in Accra that “it is never justifiable to target innocents in the name of an ideology.”
He might have added, or to target innocent voters with violence in order to stay in power, which is exactly what Zanu-PF managed to do in last year’s run-off election. Every time Robert Mugabe gives a little wave, or walks his haughty little walk to this or that conference, I hope he keeps at the back of his mind that he doesn’t really represent his people as President, but that he is a usurper, a thief of a rigged election, and a despot tainted with the violence and deaths of innocents. Shame will be his epitaph and contempt his obituary.

Just imagine how different Zimbabwe would be if Obama was their leader instead of Mugabe.
