Zimbabwe’s Crisis ‘Like Titanic’

[azrom]

Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa has likened the current crisis in Zimbabwe to the sinking of the Titanic.

He said the country’s economic difficulties were forcing its citizens to leave like passengers jumping from the sinking ship to save their lives.

He called for a new approach as quiet diplomacy was not producing results.

Meanwhile, the UK’s leader Tony Blair told the British parliament that the solution to Zimbabwe’s problems had to come ultimately from within Africa.

An estimated 3m Zimbabweans, about a quarter of the total population, have fled the country in recent years.

Scores of activists have been arrested and allegedly assaulted after police broke up a banned rally in Harare on 11 March.

Four senior MDC officials were prevented from leaving the country, some to seek treatment for injuries they say were sustained in police custody.

Forthright

The BBC’s Grant Ferrett in Johannesburg says the remarks by Mr Mwanawasa are among the strongest made by any of Zimbabwe’s neighbours during years of economic turmoil and political confrontation.

Mr Mwanawasa did not mention Zimbabwe by name, but said a member of the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) had sunk into “serious difficulties”.

“As I am speaking right now, one Sadc country has sunk into such economic difficulties that it may be likened to a sinking Titanic whose passengers are jumping out in a bid to save their lives,” Mr Mwanawasa said during a state visit to Namibia.

“Zambia has so far been an advocate of quiet diplomacy and continues to believe in it, but the twist of events in the troubled country necessitates the adoption of a new approach.”

Our correspondent says such a change would need the support of South Africa.

Over the past week, South Africa has become more forthright in its remarks, but is not yet willing to openly criticise President Robert Mugabe’s government.

Mr Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe for 27 years, but there is increasing discontent over the country’s economic crisis.

More than 80% of Zimbabweans are living in poverty, with chronic unemployment and inflation running at more than 1,700% - the highest in the world.

I wonder how many Zimbabweans are looking or already have 'asylum' in Europe.  Devil whitey looks after them one way or another.

Blacks, especially those in Africa are worse than animals. True animals would never behave the way most blacks behave.  Blacks are subhuman upright beings that have been lost to evolution. They are a species that cannot seem to cross the gap from stone age to modern civilization....for proof, just go live in South Africa for a year and see for yourself, if you dare!

Thirty years ago as a small boy, I asked my dad why MI6 or CIA didn't just kill Idi Amin(YSV). I ask the same question now about Mugabee.

"Meanwhile, the UK’s leader Tony Blair told the British parliament that the solution to Zimbabwe’s problems had to come ultimately from within Africa."

If you read between the lines of Tony Blair's comments in the above qoute, letting scharvtas run things in Southern Africa has been a "smashing" success. The scary part is that they want to let scharvtas continue to run Southern Africa, one of the most beautiful areas in the entire continent. I say let White Zimbabwe's finest farmers come to America and run there own farms, what Southern Africa loses, America gains.

What a pity Britain and America's administrations never felt the same way when whites were running things in Southern Africa, when South Africa was truly pro America. But that's easy to answer......the new order under the fasict fist of the real power, the international bankers, royalty, and religious denominations, instructed the presidents and prime ministers to do away with countries like South Africa and Rhodesia under white rule, those countries were non compliant and a threat to the new world order being carefully set in place right under the noses of the unsuspecting public. The lie has born fruit, the lie has come to fruition and we will all soon be crying while the Oppenheimer's, Rockefeller's, and all the rest of the scum of humanity roll on the floor screaming with laughter. Tony Blair is a scum bag communist fascist pig who has peas for balls. He has a fat bank account and a cushy job lined up, he will not be micro chipped, he and his spawn have bought their way into the fold of the order through lies, deception and dirty politics...he and his filth are safe. He now bleats about Zimbabwe's problems ultimately coming from within, but what has he done about the undoing of his own country coming from within, set up and perpetrated right from No 10.
