AUSTRALIA says it may impose more sanctions against Zimbabwe if President Robert Mugabe wins a run-off election echoing statements made by Britain which says will draw some "contingency plans".
[ See Article ]
now if Australia and Britain say they will impose sanctions if Mugabe wins, have they already chosen the leader for Zimbabweans? Do they already know who will win? How? Or do they find it difficult to beat Mugabe with their 'also' rigging tricks? Why make pre-conclusions? That's prejudice. Allow Zimbabweans time to decide for themselves. Is not Zimbabwe a sovereign state in spite of their donations? Why do they chose a leader for Zimbabweans? I am sceptical.
How stupid. Mugabe is already rigging the poll in his favour. Everyone knows it. So this response to this rigging which is common knowledge. However if this rigging fails to come off, and the MDC wins, then they wont happen. Everyone, including Mugabe, knows that if he didnt rig the election, he wouldnt win.

There's that word again, "Australia may impose MORE sanctions".
The same tactic used by the self same paper when reporting on new sanctions proposed by the UK.
If all of these sanctions are new it begs the question what sanctions are in place now? Because these new sanctions seem to be pretty thorough and far reaching.
I wonder if anyone will tell me what the present sanctions are?
Hey folks I have to try. *LOL*
