Needless to say, the British are advocating for regime change and it appears they will stop at nothing till they achieve their goal. Pictures of Zimbabwe's plight are being shown on British news channels on a daily basis, and president Mugabe is being accused of uncountable human rights violations.

Interestingly, while the West actively pursue a regime change in Zimbabwe, Mugabe continues to have a strong support among African leaders. South Africa's Thabo Mbeki has refused to openly criticise Mugabe, preferring what he called "quiet diplomacy". At the African Union summit in Portugal, the British prime minister Gordon Brown refused to attend the summit if Mugabe was allowed to attend. Unsurprisingly, the other African leader (John Kuffour among others) voiced their support for Mugabe to be present at the summit and the British PM did not attend as a result.

This led to accusations in some sections of the British media that African leaders see Mugabe as a hero in the struggle against White supremacy, hence his tremendous support among his colleagues.

Furthermore, Zimbabwe had their electrons weeks ago and the results are yet to be formally announced. As expected the British have been at the forefront at accusations of rigging and fraud by the Mugabe government. The opposition leader and so called "darling of the west" Morgan Tsvangirai has called for civil disobedience and nationwide strike, with little or no impact at all. It has also being reported that Morgan Tsvangirai is not as popular in Zimbabwe as they western media are portraying him to be. It appears majority of Zimbabweans do not trust him and there's the fear that he's being funded by the West in their desperate bid to restore White land ownership in Zimbabwe.

What do you guys think of the Zimbabwe crisis, and in particular Robert Mugabe?

I'll post my opinion of him later.

..Personally...I think Mugabe should be public hung by the balls......I mean..let's dissect the whole issue: U yank the land from White farmers and give them to black owners,majority of whom are too poor and too ill equipped to toil that land and produce anything from it.When U yanked the land a whole bunch of people became jobless because the farm owners were driven out.Shortly after that(I guess 5 years or so is short enough),the country's inflation goes up by 100000 %...making already hard life further unbearable for the Zimbabwean on the street.The Gorilloid Mugu(Mugabe) wants to hang on to power for life in a lifeless economy.......and just like other folks like him(e.g Mobutu,Abacha) he lives large while his country don't even have scraps to dig for.....On the British propaganda...well..it's called Politicking..live with it....and I don't know which African Leaders U're claiming are showing support...because the support is not outward..it's passive...it's like thinking a woman is implying she loves U by not saying she doesn't....the results have been stalled from the voting because there's "stuff" going on in the background...Mugabe,in his desperate move,is the one inciting violence trying to garner support by using the dirty trick of implying that if his opponent is voted in the new regime will give the land they received from the Whites back to the Whites.In all sha...Mugabe's been around long enough..time to go..sorry...
