With the highest inflation rate in the world, Zimbabwe is not likely to restore its political, economic and social dignity it once boasted in the 1980s. Instead, it is only seen as a desolate and undemocratic country especially with the mention of Robert Mugabe and his policies against the white minority in Zimbabwe. Although the majority of Africans can boast of a land, which was in the hands of the minority, the approach adapted in acquiring the land was itself the wrong.

The world should realize that when democracy is defined, it is not the same everywhere. According to Mugabe, whatever he did, was democracy in his own estimate, and no one should question that!

In most circumstances, we tend to define issues from the West perspective without the need to look at the local situation. For instance, poverty is defined by not having a dollar per day, which itself, favours the west. In this regard, poverty measurement should only be measured per the local categories.
Democracy on the other hand has been measured as the conditions for addressing the needs of the majority yet when Mugabe gives land to his people, he is criticized of being insincere to the democratic principles of humanity.

Right now there is dreadlock on the formation of a sound cabinet due to the so-called interference of the west in local issues in Zimbabwe. What remains to be seen is can the formation of a grand coalition government stabilize things? Will Tsvangirayi turn around the economy? What is the real interest of the West in the internal issues of Zimbabwe and the whole of Africa?

The most important element is for leadership to understand the real issues facing the people and handle them with caution lest the world laughs as the people continue suffering! ]]> Wed, 15 Oct 2008 10:22:00 EDT http://mburu.tigblog.org/post/503723 http://mburu.tigblog.org/post/499271
It is apparent that with the attacks against Obama's person, lowers the integrity of Corsi, since it is all based on vendetta established by the slave traders and merchants against the so-called weak race, as presented by Adolf Hitler's ideology of dominating the weaker race.

Creativity of this nature does not bring about the required change...it only promotes a culture of hatred in a society already facing social and identity challenges coupled with terrorism, religious fundamentalism and a culture of cynicism.

The nature in which races are developed, reaffirming that one has to dominate over another, really destroys the social fabric that has over the years, built nations and cultures.

Jerome Corsi, in the book, asserts that he would oppose Sen. Hilary Clinton, too, were she the Democratic Party Presidential Candidate. This is where I read sinister, an excuse for covering his attempted attack on Obama.

I'm neither a Democrat nor a Republican, my political principles are discreet, but have a feeling the way race issue is dominating American politics, a dirty affair of events. And needs to be fully fought against by all and sundry.

While it is important for one to acknowledge his cultural heritage, it is illogical for the same to be used to undermine the 'weakness' of the other community. The so-called tribal leaders have caused the untold pain and suffering that hundred of thousands of families are displaced. The most painful part is that while people are butchering each other, the political leaders are busy drafting 'road maps' for restoring peace and order whiel taking sips of juice and coffee in the salient of the city. None of the hardliners has visited the displaced people except techincally or through press conferences.

Issuing statement through Press Conferences is not going to solve anything, let them go out and see for themselves what is happening then we might think of them as gods, sent to keep peace.

He made a very careless statement without the decorum in place.

On Saturday night, a Kenya Airways plane crushes in Cameroon and all 114 people ar confirmed dead. This being a sad moment for people who lost their loved ones in this catstrophic incident.

The politician said, in his presidential vision, "if elected, I will make Mombasa Port a Free Port... I'll make this port Dubai...."
"People will not be travelling to Dubai from Cameroon(sic) with Kenya Airways...."

The statement, which is a show of a contemptuous ridicule, as people were undergoing some worst moments in their lives, questions how seroius our politicians are in their quest for politicla mileage.

Such leaders shoul not be voted for or given a chance to run the afirs of this country.


Shame on them!!!

All the African nations are independent of their political colonisers, but still, because of the Africa's condition, which has unfortunately been edged into the believe that "Without the West, African remains extinct," the situation calls for more response with a lot of valour.

However, the blame does not lie squarely on the West or their view of Africa, but the way in which Africans are ready to accept to face the factsanything that comes from West a gospel truth. Instead, Africans should stop burying their heads in the sand and leap ahead, without being taken in for a ride.

In this era of globalisation, it becomes almost impossible not to depend on others for information sharing, eduction and resource mobilisation. Africa can only make her voice clearly heard , if she avoids looking more of a beggar than a development player.]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:09:00 EDT http://mburu.tigblog.org/post/184683
