I read earlier that Zimbabwe's current President Mugabe recently met with Haile Menkerios, UN Assistant Secretary. I am supposing to discuss the current violence and political situation withing ZImbabwe. I am really astonished, no, not really, at the fact that countries are really able to treat their citizens in such a evil way and the UN is basically helpless. Sometimes I wonder, "for how long and how many people will have to suffer before the national community come to the aid of this country." Zimbabwe began his presidency as a 'change' activist. This is how he made it to power. I suppose he has gotten use to have such enormous power, that he is only willing to relinquish it 'over his dead body'. This DICTATOR has already admitted to continuing his violence towards his own people for as long as it takes, as long as the opposition, which is the Democratic movement, does not get power over the government their. Normally, I am against nations medaling in other nations affairs, but who will fight for those who have no voice. If a nation's government is corrupt, who else can they turn to but the international community. I also normally do not agree with using military tactics in diplomacy but this man has withheld food from a country with millions of people where on any given day 1 million people go without food. These people has been solely dependant on their government's assistance for the past 20 years. You have to understand that Zimbabwe and the whole continent of Africa has been in a time of economic hardship for centuries and I really don't know if and when it will prevail. I do not know what the meeting with a UN representative entailed, but I do believe that this man is not given to pressures of the international community. No way, no how! He is willing to let thousands, maybe millions of his own people die and he is willing to give his own life for his demonic, off-sided beliefs. Many say that money is the root of all evil. I believe this also, but I believe that it doesn't just stop their, after money, next is power and Zimbabwe is not willing to give neither up.
