To me, the highlight of how low things have sunk in Zimbabwe was the last general held in March. The results took more than a month to get announced. Then there is the inflation that changes everyday and is the highest in the world.
Everyplace you turn, all that we hear is some bad news about Zim. Human rights abuses,political intolerance, disrespect for the rule of law...and the list goes on.
Am sure we all ask what is the AU and the rest of international community doing to save zim. When Kenya went to doldrums early in the year everybody was talking about ending the problems, sanctions, assistance, mediation etc..So this silence or inaction about Zim, does it mean that all hope is lost in Harare? does it mean than zim is irelevant to the rest of the world? if indeed as human race we want to be seen to care about the plight of our brothers and sisters, why the indifference.
It seems that we react to the problems of Kenya only because of the strategic position it accords us in pursuance of our interests in the horn of Africa. Because of our business interests. We react to the problems of Israel only because of the leverage it gives us in in the dominitation of middle east and suppression of nuclear weapon production.
If it turns out the there is no one who has material interests in the resoration of order in Zim, Who then shall cry for our brothers? who then shall put a foot forward for our sisters? who then shall secure the future of the children of Zim?
