Allow me to laugh abeg...

Wait, is it the AU of Paul Biya you are talking about? How many years has he been on the throne (err sorry in office)? What wrath is the Zimbabwean military going to face? The wrath of our dilapidated WW2 era tanks and hunting guns? I laugh in greek.

laudate:

And when the sit tight leader always manipulates the electoral process to declare himself the winner, and hounds the opposition into exile or oblivion, what is the next step?

Leaders like Mugabe need to realise that their actions would invite coups, if they fail to do the right thing. This would send a strong signal to him. If the AU intervenes, it is to help the Zimbabwean Parliament put in place an interim govt and compel elections to be held in the absence of Mugabe. Once a new govt comes in, then the AU can back down.

The power is meant to be with the people and not with the vice. The vice orchestrated everything, that means the coup was a selfish one. If the millions of people in Zimbabwe cannot vote out a nonworking president, then its their problem. It might look good in the eyes of many but evil people know how to manipulate good intentions for their own gain.

The military can advise the legislature to impeach him or they monitor the next election to see him out of office. Military actions in Africa need to be frowned at and democratic processes need to be promoted.

Chiwenga must be hang!

It's a coup, sanctioned by western government (it's obvious from their reporting) and it shouldn't be recognised in Africa because it would signal double standard and embolden military personnel to start plotting coup.

Mugabe might be different things to different persons but this action might further lead to the degradation of democracy in Africa. I hope AU takes the right stand on this issue.

LOL, u talk like u don't know the continent we are in..U talk like u don't know whats happening in Zimbabwe.. Sometimes, you guys need to take a second to thank GEJ.

realhumanity:


I don't care about what is happening in Zimbabwe but I care about the retrogressive approach they took. We are trying to bury the era of coup and people are still trying to remind other countries that coup can still be plotted to oust leaders from their seats.

Chiwenga and MNA*******, are no saints. They benefitted from the rubbish government for over 20years. Now they are tired. Let them get out.

laudate:

If my statement sounds foolish and irresponsible to you, I really don't care. It is clueless folks who want to sound politically correct that would support Mugabe's sit tight antics. The joker has impoverished his country and turned his people into objects of pity. And you are condemning people who support those who want to put a stop to his nonsense?

Sorry to say you have history twisted upside down,it's quite obvious to see that you are ignorant of the facts and have been massively misled and deceived by the rhetoric of the white man. Fela best said Colonial Mentality dey worry my people.

TWoods:


The US is the defacto leader of the west. That is a fact.

Secondly, which European powers are interested in Zimbabwe? Is it Norway, Germany, Sweden or Italy? The joke is on you. Yes Mugabe redistributed land from whites in 2000... the British took back their white farmers and have since resettled them. The land that Mugabe took back, how many of them have turned into prosperous black farms today? Why is Zimbabwe in a food crisis? Africans are such jokes.

You live in the US, you see how a democracy (with in-built checks and balances) work and you support Mugabe holding unto power for 37 years? You just wasted all those years living in the US, my sister.

TWoods:


and the black man has achieved what ever since? You have no shame, railing against the white man, on the computer he created, through the internet he invented.

Adiwana:


Do you live in america or have you ever been there?

The fact that you end you spiel with "my sister" does not make you sound any less uncouth. Learn to debate without ad hominem attacks. In previous posts to me you mentioned "Idiocy" "foolishly blaming the west" and now you talk about "years being wasted"? Just because we have a difference in opinion? Oga abeg face front and keep it moving.

Well then shouldn't you disavow using the white mans computers and internet? You keep harping on blackness while continuing to enjoy the fruits of the white man's labor and wit. The Asians simply took what the white man did and improved on it or even built their own versions... the attitude of poo pooing others in the name of "black man know yourself" has led us exactly where? The same Fela you revere ended up dying like a common street dog of complications of HIV... if he were alive today, he'd be solely dependent on antiretrovirals made by the white man... while he'd be busy at his shrine making zero contributions to mankind.

Nielsek:
I would like to first of all thank Grace Mugabe for being a catalyst in the final destruction of a redundant political party. Secondly, I commend the brave men who put their foot down and decided that other things are more important than watching a couple try to play 'king and queen' at the expense of disadvantaged citizens. A long time coming but it came non the less.

cashlurd:
It doesn't seem. It is a military coup!!! I also see the hands of western countries in this coup!
Trace back to Mugabe's approach to Donald Trump during the last convention where in like countries talked about their countries gifts and challenges: Trump talked about the North Korean threat, PMB kept on praising Trump without talking about his country, Putin opposed Trump and the only African President to openly oppose Trump was Mugabe!!!

Throwback to Gaddafi and his opposition to the USA and also to all other African Heads of states who opposed the USA In history.

One thing they have in common They have all been overthrown and forced into exile while some unlucky ones get killed!!

The western world wants to control Zimbabwe but Mugabe's strong opposition hindered them. This is one of the many ways to get him out of power and put his deputy in his place who can be easily controlled.

Africans be wise! Africans be woke!! Africans stand against western control of your resources!!!!

Read the post in more detail... i understand africans think anything short of reverencing them on our knees is equivalent to ad hominems. Idiocy is simply another term for absurdity, ignorance etc. Get a dictionary next time and face front as well. What we have is not a difference of opinion, its simply the difference between facts and vapidity.

Phut:

You obviously do not know the meaning of the words you use. Idiocy = Idiotic/stupid behavior. Absurd is more akin to weird. If in your village, someone telling you not to accuse them of idiotic behavior = Them requesting u to reverence them on you knees, then I pity you.

TWoods:


Perhaps you should check your dictionary more closely... idiocy has a myriad of meanings, not just the one you know.
