The looming Zim CRISIS

A deadly crisis looms in ZIM, but the mediators are too busy bunting diplomatic jargon and allaying the real situation on the ground with layers of cosmetic beauty that will not obviously last.

The question that I find fit to ask is WHY? Is there some interest this mediator is protecting by making the international community believe that the MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai and his party are just paranoid-attention-seekers acting like babies when there is really nothing to worry about? If this is the case then, can anyone explain to me why a cargo full of weapons is oscillating the shores of countries neighbouring Zimbabwe, fighting so desparately to deliver weapons of nation-destruction to Mugabe?

Why is Mugabe buying weapons for? Afterall there is peace in Zimbabwe...and to be honest only a lunatic neighbouring country would dare attack Zim, because there are no spoils to loot out of her boarders, as it is right now. Her people are hungry and are scattered all over, especially in South Africa, whose president see them as spoilt brats who dont like the luxury at home, but would rather beg from neighbours.

"It is no use going back to Zimbabwe and become captive," the MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai told Canada's The Globe and Mail in an interview yesterday.

My President Sir Ian Khama Seretse Khama does not play hide and seek. I trust his judgement. He is a man of great integrity, and if he saw it fit to offer Tsvangirai asylum in his country then there must be some crisis in Zimbabwe. And these here are words from an intelligent leader, one whose main concern goes beyond his selfish enrichment and fame to that of protecting his people and his country against the demonic on-slaught to which it is exposed.

"Do you want a dead hero?" This man does not care much about his heroism. All he wants is a fair and democratic transition to power, no wonder he sought asylum from someone who would understand the language he speaks--Ian Khama, because he too had just been a beneficiary of such a democratic process and Khama knows the merits of such a process if well articulated.

AU stop being diplomatic about this and help Mbeki with some salve for his eyes. Help Zimbabwe and get Mugabe moving, the people spoke, He is trashing the voice of the people... dont be party to his brutality. Be a good brother and offer him good brotherly advice and while you at it give him accommodation also.
