| Updated 2 April, 2007 Again I am inspired by Eddie Cross and his emails to the outside world. Here is my humble contribution sent again because I didn\'t realise my poem would be put on the same lines so I\'ve shown where a new line (/) should go and every second line a space (//). An Easter Tragedy/ Thousands have suffered at the hands of baton-wielding zealots, masquerading as Police, in a land where lives have little price. Is this commercialism gone mad? Trading in muscle and limbs feeding their families with the blood of countrymen and women? Who weeps for Mugabe ~ he who styles himself after Jesus continually resurrected, who pretends to heave his country away from Colonial roots? Why should we cry for a Chinese Palace, wifely shopping sprees in Paris; a man protected from his own voters by his army of security enforcers? His people no longer believe he leads for them ~ have seen how he dictates, feathers his own nest and the cronies he keeps very close ~ walled in by sin. How long will millions of starving, beaten people wait for their turn at life, their chance to eat, to sleep peacefully in a khaya built in prosperity and peace? Will the tears shed this Easter encourage the world to stand up for Zimbabwe? FMF Updates Wednesday 28 March I read your interview with Ambassador Christopher Dell recently. That was very interesting. I live, stay and work in Zimbabwe. My worry is , and I would like probably Mr Dell clarify , why would the European Community and its members allow the children of Zanu Pf ministers ,MPs and others , who are on the targeted sanctions list be allowed to study at American and British Universities while we are suffering here? These kids should be deported back to Zimbabwe and sing the blues with us. I am struggling to get to one of the American Universities because I cant afford the fees as a result of a father whose son son/daughter is at an American University. These kids should come back and attend the Lupane State University etc. VM Updated Tuesday 27 March I\'d like to congratulate you for all the work you are doing, please keep it up. I also liked your recent phone and e-mail protest links. But what has happened to the petition one? Please keep these links up on your home page so more people can utilise them. The petition one should be there until the deadline in November, at least. Please give us the chance to spread the word to as many people as possible. What will also be useful is e-mail links on news articles like they have on other publications. This helps make it easier for all concerned to forward on important news items to friends and family esp. in Zim. Thank you. Aluta Continua! And please put the petition link back on lest we start thinking maybe you\'ve also been infiltrated by you know who. Comrade X ................ All these events are part of the plan to kill-off any chance of Mugabe losing in the \'elections\' Zimbabweans have to realize that Mugabe is a person of unparalleled arrogance who views Zimbabwe the nation as his personal fiefdom. In his world all the rest of us Zimbabweans are idiots. He is thus superior and chosen. I hope Mai Mujuru and Munangagwa you also read Zimdaily and wake up to the reality: Mugabe cares only about Mugabe. All these harassments, murders and suffering does not bother him one bit. The man has no plans of leaving town soon. Only when people rise up and storm State House will Zimbabwe be free from that murderous demagogue. Here is a man who hates Bush and Blair so much-it is said he and his missus new the names of all the checkout girls at Harrods .................. re \"divide and rule\" tactics by zanu-pf over banning / sanctioning rallies. the simple answer is to henceforth hold only joint rallies- and see whether the police /radio / tv will be as generous. otherwise the crafty old campaigner will continue to run rings around the opposition. it will be music to mbeki\'s ears to hear that the \"opposition\" refused a hold a legally sanctioned rally - as if to say only banned rallies will be staged. in a crisis like this disunity is fatal - and meanwhile the country bleeds. this is why kaunda got fed up and kicked out the feuding zanu factions from zambia -they were more interested in settling scores than fighting smith. similarly the west is fast losing faith with the notion of a viable opposition. what is it with us zims! please urge a united stand on all fronts. ................... ukasekerera benzi richigeza rinoruma sipo.old age is now taking its toll on Gushungo and he has once again resorted to violence by recruiting these imbeciles[vanahwindi].do you real think that hwindi will think of anything else when given $100,000per day when all what he has to do is kudhaya vanhu just like what they do parank.the are so many educated people who are jobless yet mugabe recruits these illiterate babarians.what they forget is that mugabe\'s era is nearing its end and there are some people taking records and statics perpetrators under mugabe.they will face trial on humanitarian abuse grounds once the Big-man is gone. |
Updated Thursday 22 March I believe Tandare is our Steve Biko. He died fighting for what he believed and for what was right. The Gvt has no business in burying murder victims. Wasn\'t Tandare among those campaigning for regime change which they won\'t tolerate? Wasn\'t there a Masvingo MDC activist whose body lay in a mortuary for years? Why didn\'t the Gvt bury him since the family wanted compensation from the killers? How many other people have they killed and buried and since when do they intervene in MDC squabbles or have they been involved all along? The officer who shot Tandare should be brought to justice and this will send a message to all the zealous officers that carrying Mugabe\'s orders is not right. There is no \"We\" when its \"Us\" and \"Them\". Fellow citizens need to unite! I salute all the brave citizens who have remained in the country to take on this monster. Updated Wednesday 21 March its no longer the excesses of uncle bob that makes me and many others wonder,but the brutality and the overzealousness with which the security forces whose constituinal duty is to protect the defenceless common citizens,continue to beat back the swelling discontent among a population starved of almost every other basic survival commodity.the last kick of a dying horse is dangerous but chisingaperi chinoshura,musoro wegudo chave chinokoro.Zimbabwe has become a jungle to say the least,there is neither respect for the rule of law anymore nor any sign of compromise/democracy.mbuya nehanda kufa vachitaura shuwa ,tora gidi uzvitonge.ndozvasara nokuti mwana wambuya Bona ashupa.ava kutoda pfuti chaiyo. king martin luther once said \"where an evil seeks to crush dissent,the good men will gather to fight for justice,peace,love and harmony\".i believe some of mugabe\'s acts of castrophe are a combination of \'old-age\' and dementia.but kusvika rinhi achiuraya nyika?anoda kuti ibude ropa here kuti abvume kuti yafa?the way zimbabwe\'s political and economical situation has delapidated if you tell most \'born-frees\' today they wont believe that it used to be the breadbasket of africa.its high time for the opposition factions to unite together for one cause together with all the civic organisations and the disgruntled ordinary citizens who shown the character of some serious preparedness to die for the change. Thank you very much for such brilliant qustions that you posed to Ambassador Dell. However a rumour is doing the rounds in Zimbabwe about a possible US military intervention (Sadam style) to remove Mugabe. Can you please follow this up and if possible give me a feedback. Children of government rogues should be returned back to Zimbabwe to face the destruction of their fathers. Its one issues ignored by the international community. Its the poor who fail to get education and everything but the corrupt get moneys to have children live happily in western countries. Let them go to China and eastern block for a change. |
