Oust Mugabe, urges USA

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Oust Mugabe, urges USA

Zimbabwe and America were locked in an angry dispute yesterday after Washington called for the removal of President Mugabe. Using language normally directed exclusively at its former colonial master, the beleaguered Zimbabwean Government said that America was trying to keep white domination in southern Africa. œThe legitimacy of our political system or our President is not dependent on America, Britain or any other country, a foreign affairs official said. œThe bullying tactics that America and Britain are using are meant to frustrate our quest for social and economic justice, to stop our programme to redistribute some of the very large tracts of land held by whites here to the indigenous black people.

His remarks came after blunt comments about Mr Mugabe by Walter Kansteiner, the US Assistant Secretary of State responsible for African affairs. œWe do not see President Mugabe as the democratically legitimate leader of the country. The election was fraudulent, he said. He said that Washington wanted to encourage the opposition in Zimbabwe to hasten Mr Mugabe™s demise. œWe™re working with other countries in the region as well as throughout the world, on how we can encourage the body politic of Zimbabwe to go forward and correct that situation and start providing an environment that would lead to a free and fair election, he said. œWe™re continuing to work with the South Africans and the Botswanans and the Mozambicans on what are some of the strategies that we can use to isolate Mugabe in the sense that he has to realise that the political status quo is not acceptable.

America and Britain have been leaning on South Africa and Zimbabwe™s other neighbours to force Harare to halt its seizures of white-owned farms and stop violence against the opposition. However, no southern African leaders have made any serious attempt to reign in Mr Mugabe. Foreign Office sources said that the issue was likely to be raised at next week™s world environment summit in Johannesburg. A senior Zimbabwean official predicted that fellow Africans would never side with America or Britain against Zimbabwe, and said: œWe pray that no self-respecting African will agree to be an Uncle Tom, a puppet for a hatchet job against fellow Africans no matter what arguments are used.

[Note: I am very curious to see what happens when the USA puts pressure on SA and other countries. Only Botswana is a true US ally in this region. The rest are closet communists. It will be interesting to see how South Africa manages to squirm its way out of this one. Jan]
