MDC: Zim humanitarian crisis 'critical'

A popular conference speaker and businessman once said "A human being or human life is nothing in Africa".He cited several examples to prove his point,for example a bus with a capacity to carry 50 passengers can carry 80,the driver or owner will only be concerned about money not human life on board.Iread some time ago a passenger was pushed from a moving commuter Kombi and died for failing to pay then 1 Zim Dollar-a kombi full of 20 people watched a man die because he had no enough money.Zanu is prepared hold on to power while people die.Africa is watching,dilly-dalling one meeting after the other.The world should know from us on the ground what is happening and what we think should be done.Latest news coming from Manicaland is shocking-scores of people have been killed over diamonds in Chiadzwa.Mutare and Murambinda mortuaries are fullof dead people.Somebody phoned me today telling me of over 300 bodies at Beatrice Hospital in Harare.Propanganda is suppressing the reality of the tragedy happening.The numbers keep growing.The talks are too late ,so much hatred and distrust has been created.I am convinced something will happen beyond talks to solve the situation-God is going to prevail.

To Dr Robie Pastor. Its seems to be just crazy. The Diamond situation should be brought under controll. We seem to condone certain actions which are undermining the economy because someone wants that money to go into an individual pocket. There are so many things which you presented as facts, but lets look at the broader picture. The Sanctions on Zimbabwe, were imposed by the West, because they wanted to protect their interests an those of their friends, instead of the welfare of the common Africa. So when the MNC are using Rebels to rob the minerials of DRC, should not be addressed. The thing is we are tired of lecturers who they themselves dont abide by the same standards or rules which they are talking about. Whatever the pastor was talking about was his opinion, but he should have also have talked about the Missionaries who were carrying the Bible and Preaching whilst conducting slavery trading at the same time. So lets call things they way they are.

SADAC and SA must just tell mugabe to back down. Don't they know "he" lost the election not Morgan, so he can't have everything. Stop blaming Morgan for the delays he must have a fair deal or no deal and we support him in that. Mugabe is just doing what he knows best that is delaying whilst his people are dying. He must give it up or compromise not hang on and kill us all.

Which sanctions in particular are you referring to? The only sanctions in place in Zimbabwe have singled out high ranking ZANU-PF (Patriotic Front, what a joke!), which means that their foreign assets are frozen (although I doubt the SA government applies this at all) and they are prevented from travelling freely. The Zimbabwean (mis) government has prevented NGO's and humanitarian agencies from distributing assistance under the pretext that they meddle in domestic politics. Anyone who defends the genocidal regime of Africa's most appalling tyrant removes their own credibility.

Zimbabweans should take matters into their own hands and physically depose Mugabe NOW!
