In order to condense the issues our member has indicated he is about to comment on, I will expose MY views on them.
The Ex-Colonial powers are circulating as much bad publicity as possible in order to discredit Robert Mugabe, so successful have they been in their campaigns against him that he is widely regarded as a monster.
Strangely enough, it is only those who are already allied to the Ex-Colonials that regard him as such and it begs the question WHY ?.
It may be that as a result of being kicked out of power in Zimbabwe, they are seeking to regain control and have devised certain strategies to do so.
One such Strategy may well be to infiltrate the electoral process by installing one of there own selected candidates to oppose Robert Mugabe, the President's remark that 'Britain should mind it's own business', may well be the result of him becoming aware of their intentions and would explain much about his adamant resistance to such infiltrations.
We know for a fact that certain 'Diplomats' have been rounded up and discouraged from supporting the opposition party in Zimbabwe, rightly so, since they are neither candidates nor Zimbabweans and therefore SHOULD 'Mind their own Business.'
We are informed of how the Ex-Colonials are concerned with the welfare of the people of Zimbabwe, so concerned are they that they have done everything in their power to ensure that the people (particularly those who support Robert Mugabe) are now facing deprivation and starvation AND, since even that hasn't achieved the results anticipated, they are now proposing to inflict even more suffering on the people by increasing sanctions AND denying them electricity. (a simple matter of switching off the supply as one Minister puts it, Ex-Colonial of course).
Robert Mugabe has stated quite clearly that he does not want his successor to become a 'Puppet' and has vowed to resist any attempt by the Ex-Colonials to create/install one, he has threatened to use military force if necessary and as leader of his nation, he is entitled to adopt such a stance.
So what is an Ex-Colonial to do ?, 'EASY', stir up civil unrest, show favour to some of the population, ignore the most needy and they will be at each other's throats soon enough, a well tried and tested method used many times in the past.
All fatalities will be attributed to Robert Mugabe, the people will be informed that everything will be fine once they have got rid of their monstrous leader.
Seems like we've heard all this before somewhere.
Actually, the solution to Zimbabwe's problems are very simple, instead of increasing pressure on the people, release it.
Assist the Zimbabweans in agriculture and manufacture, teach them the technologies required to become self sufficient and leave them to develop in the way THEY choose, not as the Ex-Colonials would like them to.
And now to the matter of killings, rapes, starvation and many other atrocities reported to us on an almost daily basis.
They are the SOLE RESPONSIBILITY of those who created the situations which spawned such events, the blame lies on he same doorsteps of those who are in the process of destroying other nations and we should know it.
Support for such actions is tantamount to engaging in them and any who can justify those actions are truly a credit to the politicians that (through the media) have managed to leave them devoid of common sense.
In the case of our particular member, he upholds every atrocity committed by the powers he so admires, he accepts unconditionally whatever lies they may tell him and displays not one iota of doubt about the consequences of their actions.
A sad case of complete brainwashing. In my humble opinion.
