The Crisis In Zimbabwe Today!
July 26-2005:
Welcome To "Wide Angle" on Channel 13:
The crisis in Zimbabwe & the flood of Zimbabweans into Botswana today:
Tonight I saw a documentary that dealt with the crisis in Zimbabwe, the gross un-employment of her people, and the total disregard-regard and willful displacement of dweller's homes/shacks, in the urban districts, in order for the Zimbabwe government to appease it's political leader President Robert Mugabe's edict, for house cleaning of the slums.
Thousands have been displaced from their homes in Zimbabwe, hundreds were even killed during the bulldozing of these houses. Yes, the bulldozer drivers could not wait to destroy these homes, regardless of whether the occupants were in, or out at the time. Many Zimbabweans take the terrible risk of trying to cross the electrified fences between the two countries, to get into Botswana. many have been killed in the process, killed while trying to cut the live wire fence.
But the recycling of Zimbabweans caught in Botswana and sent back to Zimbabwe continues!
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe's neighbors are saying they will not get involved in the internal affairs of Zimbabwe. So the killing, the starvation, the displacement of residents from their homes, the destruction of more homes, the hunger & starvation of her people continues. Do you know that a case scenario such as this occurred in Botswana:
It was told publicly in Botswana that an old woman laced her food at night with 'Rat Poison" because she suspected that Zimbabweans had stolen her food before. So she set the trap! Thereafter, three Zimbabwean children were killed after eating the food.
Do you know that this killing of innocent lives were well received by the general population in Botswana. Some said that the old woman did the right thing.. They did not mind the inhumane act at all. They said the killing was done as a deterrent, for those Zimbabweans who still try to enter Botswana illegally.
However, Africa & African countries that are more economically stable must give help to those less fortunate than themselves. Saying that one's neighbors problems does not concern you, to warrant intervention therein. Is in fact saying that so long as my own people eat, drink, are housed, and safe from occupation by foreigners on it's soil, then it is all good!
The Vampireistic leaders of several African countries, are plundering, raping, pillaging, and creating the foundation for perpetual poverty for their people, for centuries to come. No amount of economic aid from the developed countries will appease this situation, unless stringent political and (military actions) if need be, is taken to remove this cancer from their midst. And to continue monitoring the situation, for any resurgence of such elements in that continent.
It took American & British forces a few weeks to overthrow Sadaam Husein & his regime. It could also take a United African States Union, to militarily remove those elements that create destabilization, impoverishment, and death from it's midst.
Om Shanti.
