EU's hidden agenda revealed.


BBC.com

The European Union (EU) has invited Zimbabwe to resume talks to explore ways of normalising relations. The invitation comes at a time the European bloc has removed some individual and companies from its illegal regime (The Herald 12/03/2012).

These sanctions were illegal, unjustified and causing more harm than good to the economy of Zimbabwe. So this is good news right? This calls for celebration right?  The question here is why now?

 Why now when the massive condemnation they received from progressive forces across the world including the African Union, SADC and Non-Aligned Movement could not sway them for one second?

Why now when over two million signatures of affected Zimbabweans gathered during the National Anti-Sanctions Petition last year did nothing to convince them otherwise?

Why now when the talk of elections is on everyone’s lips?

Could it be that they are trying to play for both teams (Zanu-PF and MDC). My guess is they want to lighten the animosity with Zanu-PF, while at the same supporting MDC’s cause because maybe, just maybe, they don’t want to be found on the wrong side of the field after the elections.

Remember Zimbabwe is an important country, not only because I say so, but because you too can say so. Seriously though, Zimbabwe’s diamonds if exploited to the maximum could cause much threat to the world economy, you can see more on this page; http://www.herald.co.zw/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35423 ] Furthermore, the growing relations with Iran do little to abate EU’s concerns.

I hope I am being paranoid!

    I believe those that were sanction from travelling to Europe and America to shop with their wives and enjoy the world deserved it. why because we could not do so because of mis-managnemnt of the economy and the political culture they had cultivated in Zimbabwe.

Mugabe To Buy Guns Using Diamonds Money?

Image
President Robert G Mugabe. ( Photo accessed from zimbio.com) Now that the elections are just around the corner, almost everything seems to be politicised. Take for instance the acceptance of Zimbabwean diamonds by the Kimberly Process into the world market. This has been met by suspecting eyes. But is all this mistrust necessary and justified? A human rights organisation, Global Witness, recently released a statement saying Mugabe will misuse diamond revenue for upcoming elections. I understand that they base their sentiments on past history, but their statement is too prophetic for my liking because the situation now is completely different from the 2008 era. Mind you, we are now under an inclusive government and back then it was a unilateral government, so the chances of history repeating itself are minimal. So unless this organisation has spiritual anointing comparable to that of T.B Joshua, I don’t see their prophecy coming to pass. Speaking to journalists after tourin

Chihuri's post in question.

Image
Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri ( Photo from Daily News Archive) The country’s political stability has recently been compromised owing to the differences between the three principals of the GPA following the re-appointment of the Zimbabwe Police Chief. The term of office for the Police Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri expired at the end of January 2010 prompting the President to re-appoint him. This move however did not go down well with the two MDC formations who also make up the Global Political Agreement (GPA).The two formations are insistent on complete transformation and re-structuring of the security before elections can be allowed. Their fears stem up from Chihuri’s own words as he was once quoted by Conway Tutani, a Newsday correspondent (04/08/11), saying the government cannot be changed “by a mere pen which costs 5 cents.”. From such a statement it can be justified for one to think that he might very well use his influence and power to handicap the demo

Should Mthwakazi be a separate state?

Proposed Mthwakazi map. Credit: Mthwakazi Independent For quite some time now, Zimbabweans have been subjected to thoughts of dividing Zimbabwe and coming up with a new state “Mthwakazi”. The envisioned Mthwakazi will encompass Matabeleland and Midlands Provinces. The party responsible for these ideas is the Mthwakazi Liberation Front (MLF). But are such notions justified? One might begin to dissect this question by analysing the origins of such thoughts. The Gukurahundi Genocide is not far off their lips as their foremost justification. However, there has been rhetoric about letting bygones be bygones. I wonder if this is really possible considering the gross inhuman treatment these people were subjected to??? Can this really be an easy pill to swallow when recently, just recently an Army Commander is reported to have said he is not apologetic for having been part of the massacres???     The region’s marginalisation, politically, socially and economically cannot be ignored even
