Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Monday called for the suspension of Robert Mugabe from the African Union, until he allows a "free and fair" election.
I find the repeated quote of Odinga not helpful to Zimbabwe and the rest of Africa. Kenya, has not completely recovered from disputed elections, that saw more people die and moved than in Zimbabwe. Odinga, was also accused of insiting violence! There was a lot of violence in Kenya. It surprises me that those with blood being wiped from their faces should advice those who are bleeding. It is the blind leading the newly blind!
So that means if Odinga thinks it is bad in Zimbabwe, it must be much worse than his own country! Zimbabwe is now the bottom of the barrel and it needs the world to rid it of mugabe and his regime and help rebuild it!
This new kid on the block should to crawl before he runs! Ever since this green freshman came aboard the neo-colonial club of most of Afrakan Statas, he's found to be running wild often making some of the most outrageous and erractic statements possible regarding things he knows little about.
Someone should sit this seemingly clueless vessel down and school him on globalization 101-the reality of competition and international power! Irrational "prime minister" like Kenyan's Raila Odinga, who is proofing himself to be a house slave is such a character we must monitor closely before he gets out of hand.
Where was this western educated fellow when great Afrakans like H.E. Jomo Kenyatta and other brave Countrymen were fighting to free Kenya of the oppression from Odinga's slave intruder bosses and land grabbers? Obviously, like many neo-colonialists, Odinga was perhaps on the side of his ass kissing masters' telling them that we Afrakans are not ready for independence! By the way, Odinga, has Kenya retrieved all her land stolen by the intruders?
On the other hand, what actually went into Odinga's head, if in fact he did struggle with the native Afrakans for liberation from the yolk of global white supremacy and colonialism? We are highly recommending that future office holders of Afraka be thoroughly examined for sound reason before any consideration is granted. Afraka cannot afford to gamble on her destiny with the likes of Odinga and the other clueness half Chinese, half French AU chairperson Jean Ping, of Gabon of all places!
Do you want Raila to turn the other side as Mugabe is raping and killing the people of Zimbabwe? Yes, many African heads of states are doing just that but that is simply because they have blood in their hands too. I'm beginning to think that Mugabe has been around for so long that most Zimbabweans know nothing other than his cruel rule and are taking it as "normal".
Please try tounderstand the boy Odinga. He could be better if he followed in the steps of his daddy, Odinga Odinga. That was a great man, of the Albert Lithuli, Patrice Lumumba, Hurombo type, Tafawa Balewa type. Hundreds were murdered and displaced from their homes at his behest Odinga is prime minister and thousands of his fellow Kenyans became destitute and homeless. He has NO SHAME.
"Hundreds were murdered and displaced from their homes at his behest Odinga is prime minister and thousands of his fellow Kenyans became destitute and homeless. He has NO SHAME" Sounds VERY familiar...
THank you mfana

Complete African mentality. One should not comments on another man's situation because his is worse. Odinga cannot comment on Zimbabwe because Kenya is reeling from violence.
It is only in Africa that you hear the phrase: 'country's domestic affairs' even when they are on fire. With such supporters who needs Satan to visit Africa.
We will continue to be the laughing stock of the world.
Odinga's hands are holding as many Kenyan eggs as he could carry, how can he let go of them to hold Great Zimbabwe's?? The problem is they will break if he let go. Perhaps he does not realise it till a political missionary to Africa like you does so. How unashamedly patronising and annoying
At least the Kenyans will have scrambled eggs if Odinga breaks the eggs!
I come from a country which is part of the newfound East African confederation and a closer neighbor of Kenya. I have for sometime now being an ardent admirer of Agwambo (Raila). I know what happened in Kenya election which was by all means far worse compared to Zimbabwe. To begin with I would like to give my friend Raila a piece of advice to instead of politicking on Zim which is in a way another trick to gain more fame in the international politics arena, focus his attention on numerous pressing unattended internal issues in his country in specific and the entire EAC region in general.
Question What is Mugabe's Zimbabwe denying theAnglo American Axis from having ? It is being reported that English and American agents are covertly funding Zimbabweans to repeat the process that they used successfully on Moḥammad Moṣaddeq, Prime Minister of Iran from 1951 to 1953 He was removed from power by a coup d'état. These tactics are: Anglo / USA agents entice week Zimbabweans to act as Mugabie supporters . while carrying out acts of oppression against all known members of the opposition in the form of. Bombing , murders, flog, in the name of the President, and his party British and Americans also used that strategy in , El Salvador and Iraq Their Agents operating in Iraq were killed hundreds of thousand of civilians fermenting sectarian violence Shias against Sunnies by blowing up mosques and killing shias and sunnis with "their death squads" (There are pictures on the web and on numerous Arab and Asian networks clearly show to be CAUCASIANS and BLACKS IN MASKS) This tactics was also successfully used in creating a coup in Iran. Bombing and murders were blamed on the President (Mosaddeq ). The Anglo /USA AXIS won that round and installed the Shah who promptly gave them the key to Irans oil fields
Many countries have gone through this tactic, uncooperative leaders were usually dispatched in one way or another. Here is how it works... US and England comes in, request a form of compliance from the Prey Country, should it refuse to cooperate,The country is squeezed economically by the use of( sanctions and trade restrictions)if that fails, destabilization in the form of phisical atrosities against important people and places,next leaders character assignation follows , then a coup-de-ta, then Assignation, then war preferably by a surrogate nation. If the load is to heavy for the Surrogate, The Anglo Axis will come in to do the Job. The prey Country,s leaders are replaced or killed
. Iraq Iran, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Paraguay, Venezuela, Panama Haiti, Congo et cetera (Read John Perkins, a former respected member of the international banking community. In his book _Confessions of an Economic Hit Man) www.johnperkins.org/ - 10k _
Then there is economic blackmail, another powerful weapon in their arsenal, using the IMF World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank Trade restrictions, the Seizing of National assets. All these tools used in consort to entrap countries in economic servitude The Anglo Saxon Diaspora also uses these tools to whip stubborn mavericks into line.in order to loot their Countries national and human resources
Can Mugabe's Zimbabwe survive the Anglo / American on slaught? Are Asian countries strong enough to come to the aid of the Old African Freedom Fighter Warrior Robert MugabeÂ’ and his true patriotic African Zimbabwean peoples?
The West has brutally Raped and abused Africa for Decades , now there is a new man in town who has come courting her.
Answer
Why is Zimbabwe still afloat? Â…China Why the Anglo American axis is trying to stop Mugabe.. China
This article By HANY BESADA explains Special to Globe and Mail Update July 2, 2008 at 8:59 PM EDT How has Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe managed to avert a complete state collapse thus far? His disillusioned citizens are facing a new wave of price increases that will put the most basic of food essentials even further out of their reach. On the streets of Harare, a loaf of bread costs the equivalent of what a dozen new cars would have cost a decade ago (when factoring current consumer price indicators and inflation figures). With public wages largely unchanged, as many as three million Zimbabweans have been forced to take up menial jobs in neighbouring South Africa to support their families. Figures released by independent economists in Zimbabwe last week show that the annual inflation rate has reached 9 million per cent. With the worthless Zimbabwean dollar trading at more than one billion to £1, the country's central bank announced the introduction of a billion-dollar banknote. With a sinking economy and hyperinflation that has produced millionaires and billionaires struggling to feed their families, how is it that Zimbabwe is still afloat? One answer may be China. By many accounts, China has become one of Zimbabwe's most important foreign investors, following the exodus of Western multinationals in the mid-1990s as a result of the worsening political and security situation in the wake of the seizure of white-owned farms. Last month, China's ambassador to Zimbabwe said a Chinese company was seriously exploring the possibility of investing $500-million (U.S.) for electricity generation in Zimbabwe. This comes on the heels of discussions between the two countries on expanding bilateral trade and investments. In the past two years, China has thrown Zimbabwe's disintegrating economy a lifeline with energy and mining deals, reportedly worth more than $1.6-billion.
It was reported that these deals gave China access to Zimbabwe's precious mineral resources, including the world's second- largest deposits of platinum, as well as gold, chrome, coal, nickel and diamonds.
These major investment projects included the construction of three coal-fired thermal power stations to assist the state power company, which was cutting customers' electricity for seven hours a day.
It also included a deal with the China Machine-Building International Corp. to mine coal and build thermal-powered generators in Zimbabwe, with the aim of reducing the country's electricity shortage. Indeed, Beijing's economic support for Harare remains strong and, through its efforts, China has secured the contracts to develop Zimbabwe's agricultural, mineral and hydroelectric resources. Tobacco counts amongst Zimbabwe's top exports, and China is Zimbabwe's largest importer. China has made large investments in the country's tobacco production and processing industry, and also has injected more than $200-million into Zimbabwe's farming, manufacturing and mining sectors. China supplies Zimbabwe with expertise, technical assistance and agricultural equipment. Chinese investors also helped Zimbabwe process tobacco into cigarettes and export them as finished products. And investors and a local company undertook a joint venture in the form of a large cement factory in Gweru to meet the national demand for cement. Western analysts and Zimbabwean critics contend that Beijing will continue to support Harare unconditionally, while piling up various claims on Zimbabwe's natural resources and other commodities. With a lack of direct competition by Western firms in the local market, Zimbabwe will remain one of China's important resource bases. But Zimbabwe's fragile state is putting Beijing in an increasingly vulnerable situation, as Western condemnation of China's long-standing ties with the autocratic Mr. Mugabe is becoming increasingly more vocal. China's continued involvement in Zimbabwe, particularly in the agricultural and mining sectors, also carries significant sovereign risk – and Beijing is gambling it will be able to manage relations so as to guarantee its claims in what would almost certainly continue to be a chaotic transition period. Zimbabwe's socio-economic profile has undergone a seismic change. The growing importance of China in the country's economy is evidenced by economic assistance and foreign investment deals in the extractive sector, in state-owned enterprises and in the agricultural sector. The key to this is China's willingness to use barter trade to secure investment deals, and it appears as though China's motives are actually economic – namely, to satisfy its growing economic needs. A constructive engagement with China will have to be put in place, focusing on improving transparency in contracts, investment deals and loan agreements. This will be particularly critical in any post-Mugabe economic reconstruction period if ordinary Zimbabweans are to reap the full benefits of increased Chinese investments instead of only a current handful of political elite in Harare.
