Yea, Mugabe has some screws loose in his head.
Mr. “No Nmae” you are almost right. I think it is the Zimbabweans that has some screws loosed in their heads. Instead of allowing Robert Mugabe to use propaganda and ‘half truths” to solicit for their backing, which ordinarily he does not need because he has already strategize, with the help of his Gestapo police to contest by all means, they should see and listen to the inaudible voices of reasons, why he shouldn’t contest. I don’t want to accuse Mr. Mugabe alone because he is not the only one in that kind of “train’. Almost all African leaders, whether in Khaki or Agbada, (with the exception of “Nelson Mandela” of South Africa and some other few), sees political office as a traditional stool where they would want to remain as life rulers. The Obasanjo of Nigeria tried all means, employing various kinds of propaganda, dishing out money in billions of naira, but fortunately or unfortunately, he failed. We said yes you tried, but you can never be the only one that has the solutions to Nigerian problems. You see, it is not just enough to say “you’ve been there for long; let someone else taste the seat”. These leaders need to be “appreciated” and be asked to honorably relinquish office. But if they should refused to be persuaded, the nationals should use counter-propaganda, and when necessary, engage a “bloody revolution” strategy to bring their leaders back on track.
Could you imagine Thabo Mbeki of South Africa saying “We agree that whatever he is going to tell you is correct”? I believe that all the leaders of the Southern African Association/Forum/Summit are all birds of the same feathers; they will always and definitely fly in equilibrium direction. No wonder, unlike the ECOWAS, the Southern African Association could not achieve any tangible targets or goals, not any that I know of.
I think it will definitely take a lot of resolve on the part of the people, sacrifice also, to get to the point where they will get their leaders to take them seriously... like you said, there may be some bloodiness involved. Question is, who is willing to step to the plate?
