Unfortunately Mugabe is still kept in power by a number of his buddies on the African continent and abroad and the people of Zimbabwe are left to fend for themselves.<BR/><BR/>Don't think that marches and public outcry from concerned citizens around the world are going to do much good as there appears not be enough critical mass (numbers). Look at the situation over in the D.R.C. or up in the Sudan and Northern Uganda. Countries that could help and should help would rather send a little money or make speeches than do what is really needed: help guarantee security for people and support their right to be able to decide how they will be governed and by whom (Democracy?).<BR/><BR/>Nonetheless don't lose heart because you have come a long way all by yourselves in your fight against Mugabe's oppression. Someday enough people in the world community will finally wake up and help you put a stop to the likes of a Robert Mugabe. At least there are many of us who are with you shoulder-to-shoulder writing away in the Blogosphere.<BR/><BR/>The word is powerful, so keep writing and sharing information and knowledge with us.<BR/><BR/>Hope is always the last to die according to an old Russian saying. Don't give up Hope.BREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09668844948345978806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6950796.post-1118584427842498852005-06-12T15:53:00.000+02:002005-06-12T15:53:00.000+02:00Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

These have been the hardest days yet - its hard to get your head around such immense cruelty and evilness.<BR/><BR/>I hope it does translate into greater awareness and I especially hope it translates into action to help the people in our country. <BR/><BR/>It's very difficult to watch the world get excited by the 'Make Poverty History' campaign when the world seems so silent in the face of Mugabe's very deliberate and unspeakably cruel 'Pol Pot-like' attack on the poorest of the poor.<BR/><BR/>Making Poverty History surely has to involve stopping people like Mugabe. <BR/><BR/>Why don't people march against him and what he's doing to us? We wonder how much more we have to go through before someone somewhere does something?<BR/><BR/>Maybe something will shift - we need it to so badly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
