MORGAN Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic Change in Zimbabwe could be mistaken for a political actor rather than a shrewd politician that wants to lead one of sub-Sahara's most enlightened nations.
Africa is a rough continent.Thugs defending thugs,not new but real.The AU is only a farce endorsing mugabe except for a handfull of African countries.Mr Mbeki how is your conscience treating you?
Wow! I'm reading this article from USA and THIS is not reporting, this is propaganda! The author fails to address the extreme intimidation and violence that has besieged this election!! While "All Africa" and it's editor condones this type of reporting, "All the World" perceives this election as total hypocracy and an extreme violation of the democratic process. The author of this article is a sham and disgrace to AllAfrica.com.
This isn't supposed to be reporting. It says "OPINION" right at the top of the column. This is one author's take on the situation, not a news article.
That being said, wow, what load of crap. You know it's crap from the first paragraph when he refers to Zimbabwe as one of sub-Sahara's most enlightened nations. Scary.
Im a Zimbabwean citizen and I'm offended by your remark on the enlightedness of Zimbabwe. He is referring to the fact that historically and still to a great extent, Zimbabwe has a great educational system by any standards, and the highest literacy rate in Africa never mind millions of talented, intellectual, hard working, driven people. Don't let the political players and global media smokescreen blind you from that fact- we are a great nation of people from centuries ago during the days of the Munhumutapa empire at Great Zimbabwe from the mid 13th-century. We are way bigger than just Mugabe and Tsvangirai. I don't know where you're from but if it were say America would it be fair to judge you as a citizen by the acts of George Bush; or if south africanm by those of Mbeki and Zuma? Bush; who by the way deserves a cell at the Hague next to Mugabe. rid the world of election riggers. Zimbabweans shall rise-
It is a pity that an article of this nature is condoned, despite the huge evidence of intimidation and violence from the Zanu PF camp. I, for one, will now really think twice about visiting AllAfrica from Google News, where I tend to get most of my news.
I'm reading this article from USA too.
It is important for candidates to be able to campaign freely without fear. It seems that Mugabe is abusing his position. But I have a hard time telling what is better for Zimbabwe: government stability under Mugabe or a re-org under Tsvangirai?
government stability, maybe, but certainly not economic or social stability. People live in a stable continuation of fear and hunger.
There's really nothing to comment on..
