"Mugabe refuses to cancel runoff vote; Says he won't back down; ANC rejects any intervention" by Angus Shaw, Associated Press | June 25, 2008
HARARE, Zimbabwe - The African National Congress also warned against international intervention following a report in the Times of London that Britain has drawn up contingency plans for deploying troops in Zimbabwe to resolve a humanitarian crisis and to evacuate British nationals and their dependents.
"A lasting solution has to be led by the Zimbabweans and any attempts by outside players to impose regime change will merely deepen the crisis," the ANC said.
It singled out Britain, the colonial power when Zimbabwe was still Rhodesia, saying it had not followed through on pledges to help fund efforts to put more land in the hands of black Zimbabweans. Britain has cited concerns about corruption.
--MORE--"
The rest is about the vote and the violence, Mugabe defiant, etc, etc.
Oh, and here is another solution to the crisis:
"Who will have the courage to save Zimbabwe?" by Robert I. Rotberg | June 25, 2008
Unless Africa and the UN act courageously, Mugabe will get away with his brazen attempt to cling brutally to power and impoverish his own people despite broad global contempt.
And what about Somalia, where the Ethiopian occupiers are committing war crimes?
Or the Sudan. How come no one is calling for action there?
Sort of makes you wonder WHY the AmeriKan MSM SELECTIVELY DECIDES to FEATURE some situations and not others, doesn't it?
And how do you explain Bush?
Zimbabwe's inflation now exceeds 160,000 percent a year. One US dollar buys 4 million Zimbabwe dollars at the unofficial street rate. Mugabe and his close associates exploit differences between official and unofficial exchange rates to prosper while ordinary Zimbabweans go hungry or are attacked.
And that's the exchange rate for our shit dollar!!
Yeah, Mugabe needs to go, which makes you wonder why the West tolerated this guy for so long... or not!
Zimbabwe is in shambles. The United States and Britain would doubtless like to act unilaterally, but dare not.
Why? They didn't seem to care too much on Iraq -- or now Iran, for that matter.
Only Africans and the UN have unquestioned moral authority.
And that is NO AUTHORITY at all!!!!
Which African leaders will now emulate Nyerere's profile of courage in Zimbabwe's dire time of need?
Robert I. Rotberg directs Harvard's Kennedy School program on Intrastate Conflict and is president of the World Peace Foundation."And the answer to the question?
HERE
So the president of the World "Peace" Foundation is calling for an INVASION?!?!
Pfffffffttttt!!!!
