Zimbabwe: There's a small Flame of Liberty Over There

Fire of Liberty

Here's a great commentary on Zimbabwe by Magnus Linklater in today's edition of The Times. He points out that while the people in Zimbabwe have endured countless years of Robert Mugabe's tyranny, there is a considerable amount of courageous voices challenging Mugabe and his Zanu PF party rule. The most outspoken voice is Archbishop Pius Ncube, who has risked life and limb to carry out his campaign to end "Uncle Bob's" rule. Just look at what Linklater wrote about the Archbishop:

When, tomorrow, the voters of Zimbabwe go to the polls, they will do so with the words of Archbishop Ncube ringing in their ears: "Somewhere there shall come a resurrection for Zimbabwe," he told his congregation on Easter Day. He called for a "popular mass uprising" to remove Mr Mugabe from power. "The people have been too soft with this Government," he said. "They should pluck up a bit of courage and stand up against him and chase him away."

I greatly admire such fortitude in souls like Archbishop Ncube. People like him make you realize that we all have a certain calling in life. I just hope the Archbishop and the people of Zimbabwe will get their wish, they truly deserve Mugabe out of their lives. Go MDC!!!
