POLITICLY CORRECT

 
 
 
Being Politically correct, and not to be seen to be leaning towards any particular  Political Party, movement or cause, seems to over shadow the very existence of certain values and standards the Globalised World has created for itself.
 
The Zimbabwe Crisis, and the corruption the World has known about for many years. Yet the Eastern and Western World has chosen not to raise these issues as it is either the wrong time, and bad for up coming Elections or agendas in a particular Country.
 
The meetings behind closed doors in secret, that few are privy to is evidence in the actions or inaction's of Governments and Officials that have the power to turn matters on and off as and when it sees fit.
 
One hears of :
 
1.    Human Rights
2.    Freedom of speech
3.    Freedom of Association
4.    The Geneva Convention
5.    The United Nations Security Council
6.    The Statute for International Criminal Court
7.    Democracy
8.    Corruption / Persecution
9.    Intimidation
10.  A Constitution and Regulations, etc.
 
One speaks so freely of having good morals and standards. The Honour of ones Country is of the utmost importance in the credibility to strict abeyance to rules and regulations. Codes of Conduct are drawn up and accepted, Signed by great and respected leaders of  World trade bodies. Yet Countries continue to suffer at the hands of Dictators.
 
We are all continually affected either directly or indirectly by our feelings and the role we contribute to our own lives and that of our fellow inhabitants of this very fragile planet. Yet there are those in this World who are well known in business and Political circles, who have connections and dealings with either corrupt parties or under world gangsters, to further their own causes for fortune or favour.
 
WHO SUPPLIES THESE TO THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES. KNOWING IT WILL HAVE  DIVERSE EFFECTS ON THE ECONOMY, AND THE REGION AS A WHOLE.
 
1.   Arms, ammunition
2.   Land mines
3.   Aircraft, vehicles
4.   Training (as in all these points)
5.   Logistical Support, Tactical Support 
6.   Finance
7.   Minerals (buying & selling BLOOD MONEY)
8.   Fuel (air,sea,rail)
9.   Intelligence & Counter Intelligence
10. Information & Dissinformation etc 
 
The ability to use the justice system in the supposed Democrate Countries to set up fronts for people or organisations to operate and facilitate corrupt dealings, in is well known.        
 
Is there any person, legal body, organisation or Government, that has the courage to  stop the Zimbabwe Crises. When will Robert Gabriel Mugabe be brought to a final conclusion of the injustices he has perpetrated AGAINST ZIMBABWE AND IT'S PEOPLE. I refer specifically to point number six. Could it possibly be, that too many may be involved or implectated in Countries that may be affected or connected to this BIG CORRUPT WEB. 
 
It is again, with deep regret and tragedy that a Country has to live through another day of intimidation, beatings and the loss of loved ones.

Dear Sir / Madam

 

CRISIS IN ZIMBABWE

Mugabe's words. "It was mainly on the principle of recovery of the fatherland that the armed struggle was built".

DARE has come to the final and irrevocable conclusion that the only man who can serve our revolution is Robert Gabriel Mugabe.

The pattern of Mugabe and Zanu-PF is consistent in the continuous onslaught of a total dictatorial and authoritarian rule that NO African State will openly declare has worked.

Through out History it has shown once power is seized select brethren are put in to advantageous positions. Once the Opposition is crushed, controlled or muzzled. The Government of the day can than indiscriminately attempt to black out     from the World its shortcomings. A climate for the Western World involvement in a continuous supply UN- limited and UN-monitored funds are sure to follow.

Seeking advice from other African Countries on the Zimbabwe crisis will fall on deaf ears as the affinity for their oppressed brothers from the Colonial dictators will never be forgotten or forgiven.

The cycle of collapse of this Country and it's partners, will be inevitable as time is lost on the expertise of professionals who will leave, seeking opportunities in a more stable, tolerant and vibrant Continent. Agriculture and Commerce are surely the backbone to the successful development of a Country that can support and sustain itself. The hourglass has surely run out for all African States to become accountable for their own misfortunes and lack of foresight.

No More Foreign Aid should be given to any country without Independent Supervision and Monitoring put in place.

Zimbabwe has become a Country of legalised and institutionalised race discrimination and segregation.

Have any of these African Countries benefited and shown any form of growth and development with all the millions of pounds/dollars in Foreign Aid that they have received or have they merely squandered that money, spent it on weapons instead of buying food for its people. Mugabe - funding a war in a country that has nothing to do with Zimbabwe, but using its little resources to do so.

It is sad that the African continent has not consolidated and become one minded in gathering it's resources and knowledge into a collective study to better themselves. Encouragement of International Investment that is beneficial to all parties with policies that are transparent and acceptable on world market ideologies and principals. Why do they not use some of the Foreign Aid to investigate, resolve, or put into practise and get medicines for some of the under mentioned points.

A.  Law & Order

B.  Cultural Acceptance & Tolerance

C.  Agriculture

D.  Commerce - Banking & Insurance

E.  Nature Conservation

F.  Tourism

G.  Education

H.  Trade & Trade Agreements

I.    Import - Export

J.  Agreed trade routes

K.  Transport - Air - Road - Rail

L.  Mining - Timber

M. Aids

N. Malaria / Bilharzia

O. Poverty

 

It is a very dark day when people from different races and/or religions cannot express their views in an open and democratic way, for fear of retribution. It becomes even worse when innocent people are murdered and the whole world stands by and just watches.

Is there a much BIGGER agenda that we may only read about in the history books in years to come? I do believe the inability to INVESTIGATE AND SOLVE some of Zimbabwe's unanswered questions are part of the problem.

What and how was the Zimbabwe constitution made up - at its independence on 18 April 1980?

What happened here? Mugabe addresses the nation.

He spoke of turning swords into ploughshares and the need for reconciliation and not recrimination and he assured whites they had a place in the country.

Did the British and American Governments make any promises regarding funding for Land Redistribution and if so what were these promises, their conditions and the time scales?

 

May I put forward questions I believe many would like to have answered?

1. What are Robert Gabriel Mugabe's Assets world-wide?

2. Who knows of them?

3. Why have they yet to be investigated / seized and returned to the peoples of Zimbabwe.

4. Where did the money come from for these investments? How come Mugabe gets richer and his country and its people get poorer by the day.

5. When did the Matabele massacres take place?

6. Why were the Matabele massacres left unreported and NO action taken? Was the Human rights commission ever made aware of these massacres?

7. When did Joshua Nkomo and Mugabe split and why.

8. Why did Joshua Nkomo flee Zimbabwe to Britain?

9. On his return what made him leave the Matabeleland area and live in Harare.

10. What business interests did Nkomo have?

11. What happened to Sally Mugabe (born in Ghana)?

12. Did she have a lover (Sally Mugabe) if so what happened to him.

13. The assets she left what happened to them.

14. Why did Mugabe refuse to assist her parents in establishing her worth?

15. Which Government officials own land in Zimbabwe? Was any of that land taken away from White Farmers? Surely this land was meant to be re-distributed among the people of Zimbabwe.

16. How much did they pay and has it been declared.

17. How many Government officials own land out side Zimbabwe?

18. What function has the CIO (central Intelligence organisation) done from 1980- 2000?

19. Who is the 5th Brigade and what was their function.

20. Who is the (OAU) Organisation For African Unity and why was it formed.

21. What is their constitution, how many African states belong to it?

22. Is there such a thing as the ' OAU Liberation Committee '?

22. Who is DARE and does it still operate.

23. Why is Mugabe so keen on assisting the Congo?

24. Does he have relatives with interests in the mines in the Congo and other parts of Africa and the World?

25. British supply of arms, ammunition and training.

26. What happened to Buka?

27. How did the supposed War Veterans move from farm to farm?

28. Who paid their wages and from whom did they get their weapons, etc?

29. Does the 11-point plan still exist that Mugabe is provisional leader too?

30. These and many more questions need to be answered. THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

IS A CIVIL WAR AROUND THE CORNER?

Our deepest sympathy and condolences go to the families who have lost their loved ones.

Our prayers and hopes are for the Zimbabwean people to stand together, united in their plight.

Yours sincerely
