Zimbabwe....The Tragedy Continues....

The BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk) has just reported that the leader of the opposition will not participte in Friday's scheduled run-off. So, Mugabe will win by default. The so-called information minister of Zimbabwe claims that the MDC would ahve been humiliated. Shame on Mugabe for being so power hungry that he will hang on at any price. Shame on South Africa for staying silent and pursuing silent diplomacy while the people of Zimbabwe are suffering.

The Drama in Zimbabwe...Continued.....

Well, Robert Mugabe is not going to go quietly. The Election Commission in Zimbabwe reported that the lower house of parliament is now MDC & opposition territory. But, the "old man" does not seem to want to go quietly. He destroyed his legacy with his what he has done to Zimbabwe. I hate it when leaders get so thirsty with power that they believe that they are invisible. What is the big deal with reporting the election results? Mugabe does not like to lose. I don't think anybody does. But, Hugo Chavez accepted defeat. I would like to truly understand why Mugabe can't just honor the election results. Furthermore, why the military is loyal to the man, not the country. Because of him, a third of his countrymen have fled and are now refugees. The inflation has hit 100,000%. Money has no meeting. The only people who seem to be winning are Mugabe and his cronies. He should be ashamed....the question is will he just wither away? What a wasted legacy.....
