A Shame in Zimbabwe

Fire of Liberty

Kate Hoey, a Labour MP of England, has written a good Op/Ed in The Times on why silent diplomacy is not a good option in dealing with Robert Mugabe's tyrannical marauding known as Operation "Take Out the Rubbish." Hoey suggests that the various governments of Africa along with governments of the West should present a more vocal condemnation of Mugabe's actions and find a way to end such horrific actions. The world cannot sit idly by and let Zimbabwe turn into another Sudan or Somalia under Mugabe. With his Zanu-PF party controlling all the levers of government and his past and current behavior demonstrate what he's capable of doing if left to his own devices, one can only envision another Somalia, Rwanda or even worse another Sudan occurring in the farmlands of Africa. While I agree with Hoey on the fact that the nations in Africa and Europe should stand up to such actions, I believe the situation will regime an even stronger reaction which is a regime change in Zimbabwe. After twenty years of tyranny, the people of Zimbabwe deserve to relieve themselves of such a tyrant.
