Very good indeed. Along side Botswana, Zambia, Senegal and Kenya there is now Tanzania who is prepared to remind their fellow African states that both the SADC and AU observer teams declared the run-off election to be invalid and as such Mugabe is not the legitimate president of Zimbabwe.

The question therefore is what is it that makes the AU as a body so indecisive? It seems that the only option is for individual States to come out against Mugabe whilst ignoring the dinosaurs such as Bongo and Mbeki.

KATZ!!!..... Obviously you are not African but claim to be an expert on Afrika just as Dr David Livingstone did.What do think about whats going on between the Sons of Jacob (Israelis) and the Palastineans? Are you afraid of the brother JEWS who might object and come down on you like a ton of cement? More seriously, it is you who is a DINASAUR a remnant of the days Europens could do as they like.Today, they wont dare, not even in Khama's Botswana. They have to tread carefully.

Akapfunde - I am not a great supporter of conspiracy theories so I am unable to answer your question about 'the Sons of Jacob and the Palastineans' (sic); however if my thinking as a dinosaur aligns me with Botswana, Tanzania, Senegal, Kenya, Zambia and others that will not accept the sham of Mugabe's presidency then I am quite happy to be in their company.

Man... you are just a trouble maker and a war-monger. You are only qualified to act as an Inspector-General in Africa and emit out opinions on everything African on behalf of Europe. You are not even ashamed of encoraging the start of wars and conflicts. Were you ever an African living in colonial southern Africa? I dont imagine things like you. l had first hand experience of racist, abusive and oppressive governance. I say "SHUT UP". You dont know what you are talking about. You remind one of a persistent fly .....

Akapfunde, you have no class. This is not a Mugabe owned site where people are bullied, told to shut up and have no voice. There is freedom of speech here without abuse. You are obviously a fat liar about experiencing racism and abuse. The way you carry on with no concern for the Zimbabwean victims of abuse by Mugabe and his dogs clearly shows you have NEVER experienced any hardships in your life or you would never, never support Mugabe. You continually chastise those who mean well for Zimbabwe. You are so brainwashed that you no longer know who is on your side because you have a one track mind of hate for anyone who does not worship your satan Mugabe. Mugabe has you whipped.

akapfunde1 - once again I ask - have you discontinued with your medication for some reason?

Akafunboy is just stupid. He has no idea. He thinks that the 1st and 2nd world wars were fought soley by Germany and England. Serously! He needs to go back to school and get an education before anyone can take him seriously. He is so dumb.

I am in love with democracy ... the USA type not the English type. The American democratic practicalities impressedme when lspent sometime in Ann Arbor in Michigan during the good fella's presidency,Ronald Regan. How lwish all African countries would engage USA approach to democracy. It may not be perfect but it is very close. By the way, l stillinsist that a fight between germany andthe English with their cousins in the diaspora eg New Zealanders and Rhodeisa, is not a world war.Besides shouting insults at me, you have said something tangible to convince me to join you. We have all been brain washed by our environment.ALSO, l know a lot of suffering is going on in Zimbabwe currently but l shall not accept that the death of Robert Mugabe shall bring to end all the suffering because Mugabe is just one portion of the Zimbabwean jigsaw. Look at Somalia, Syad Barre left and because the Somalis just followed external advice to chuck out their president without looking at the whole picture ....where is Somalia today? Of course Tsvangi has a right to be a president of Great Zimbabwe. It goes without saying that the country does not belong to ZANUpf. One has to sit and thnk out strategies to remove the current regime without loosing our sovereign governance. I do notunderstand people who just insult Mugabe using terms like idiot etc What do you achieve? Sometimes one has to get them thinking by contradicting them deliberately. I,too, have a lot to learn from some the sharper minds that Great Zimbabwe has spawned.

Katz, I have had this discussions about trying to lump a few countries as reflecting the whole 54 country (AU). Member countries in Africa can make their own decisons..that is not indecision...that is racism from white people. Okay...Germany, France all disagreed with the UK/USA on Iraq does that mean EU was indecisive? Or were they are afraid of the obviously murderous, idiotic, extreme ignorance decision by UK/USA?

Katz, Africans know that at the end of the day, Europeans are full of hyperbolic talk and Africans end up fixing their own problems. Like at DRC, Rwanda or Mozambique..it is the africans who solved the problem.

Africa does not exists to rubber stamp comments from "white people". We do have our own opinions and white Africans and others need to learn to agree to disagree without resorting to name calling. Katz, I could get into a tirade, about why white people have in fact not learnt how to disagree with "natives" without resorting to insults. Some of that has to do with white supremacy views. I'm hoping that you and I can help people to agree to disagree on this open website (blog).
