Hi,
I ask you in all honesty. is there anything we can or should be doing to support the removal of madman Mugabe?

I would like to support in any way that is possible for me.

I feel ill when I see and read about this person. We are actually allowing another Hitler to survive and prosper at the expense of innocent and defenceless humans.

Regards
S.

Hi S,
I think that people in other countries should perhaps petition or write to their own government to take more stringent actions against Mugabe.

As a citizen of a foreign country nothing stops you from asking your own government to boycott of take tougher action against Mugabe.

The rest of the push to get rid of Mugabe must come from Zimbabweans themselves, especially the opposition.

If only they would form an appropriate organisation or seek more publicity and would ask for support from either citizens in other countries or get donations from private people – then something could be done.

The ANC and many others have in the past done this – successfully.

So why can’t Zimbabweans do the same?

The fate of African wars often rests with people outside Africa.

From the Boer Wars, until now, almost every major war/political change in Africa was the result of decisions made by greater powers elsewhere on the planet.

I don’t see this changing for a long time.

But what is missing are the voices crying loudly, from Zimbabwe for the removal of Mugabe by military force if necessary.

That’s sad.

Regards,
Jan
