Zimbabwe political analysts should join ‘Pop Idol’

DO you not cringe when you see Zimbabwean so-called political analysts and lawyers on the BBC or some other international media trying to look philosophical and intellectual talking ‘dirty’ about their own country and its leadership, but failing to condemn the sanctions regime that has crippled the country’s economy, or put Zimbabwe in its right political context?

In recent years Iran has become the target of a belligerent campaign against it, orchestrated by usual suspects the US, Israel and Britain. This aggressive nuclear-armed trio has badgered other nations to back anti-Iranian sanctions without even the flimsiest evidence that Tehran is pursuing nuclear weapons.

During the past several weeks, the public’s attention has been focused on various recent geopolitical developments, and the expiration of Slovenia’s Presidency over the Council of the EU on July 1 is going to remain almost unnoticed against the background. Yet this was the first time in the EU history when such a prominent role was played by a Slavic Balkan country, and high expectations were associated with the fact in the Balkan region.

MOSCOW, July 1 (RIA Novosti) – The parliament set up by the Serbian community in Kosovo is a logical response to Kosovo’s unilateral declaration of independence, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.
Kosovo Serbs gathered last Saturday in the ethnically divided city of Mitrovica for a session to inaugurate their own legislative body, calling it the Assembly of the Union of Municipalities of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo, and draft its mandate.

Timothy Garton Ash, a columnist for the British newspaper The Guardian, has called on “people outside Zimbabwe” to “help the majority inside Zimbabwe have its democratic will recognized” by doing seven things, the first of which is to press their governments for stronger sanctions on Zimbabwe. Ash’s column is titled, “We don’t need guns to help the people pitch Mugabe from his perch.” Read the rest of this entry »

I’m not for one moment suggesting that this is the only lie the Guardian has published about Zimbabwe.As Seumas Milne, their associate editor puts it:”The British media have long since largely abandoned any attempt at impartiality in its reporting of Zimbabwe” . But it’s certainly a particularly blatant one.
On 25th June, they published an article attributed to MDC leader Tsvangirai calling for UN peacekeepers to be sent to Zimbabwe. In this highly indiscreet piece Tsvangirai calls for “the words of indignation from global leaders to be backed by the moral rectitude of military force”.
According to today’s Independent the Guardian now accepts “that he [Tsvangirai] had not approved the commentary” so either that or the original attribution is a lie. The most likely interpretation is that the Guardian, or someone who deceived them, were trying to bounce Tsvangirai into adopting this suicidal position . Perhaps as the same Independent article tends to suggest Tsvangirai has outlived his usefulness to his political masters.

The Guardian have, unsurprisingly, removed the article from their website but it can be found here.

I have no difficulties with Westerners hating President Mugabe, or calling for his head even, as did British MPs in this week’s debate in their House of Commons. That is to be expected, in fact an affirmation that Mugabe is right. White westerners, both for direct and vicarious reasons, have cause to be revulsed by Robert Mugabe, and thus reason to hate him to his grave. He has dismantled what took the empire a good nine decades to build, a plentiful legacy so badly needed in these days of a maddening scramble for natural resources. Read the rest of this entry »
