Here we hear from a keen Mugabe supporter...
Excerpts:
The Herald (Harare) / OPINION, 18 July 2008, by Nomagugu M'simang, Harare
I write as a Zimbabwean woman and mother of four who has lived in Zimbabwe all her life.
I also write as a woman and mother who has been a victim of the devastating effects of the illegal sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by the United States, Britain and their European Union allies.
I also write as a Zimbabwean who wonders at the moral decency of why her country is being punished for repossessing its land and reasserting its national independence and sovereignty.
I am also writing as a Zimbabwean who is witnessing through leaps and bounds, the growth and development of our democratic systems since 1980 when Zimbabwe attained political independence.
am also writing as a Zimbabwean sick of outside interference in our internal affairs, aware that Zimbabweans can bridge their differences and come to a common understanding about their vision, and adequately plan for the realisation of that vision.
Last week, on the eve of the United Nations Security Council vote on the US-sponsored draft resolution for sanctions against Zimbabwe, Liberian President Ellen Sirleaf-Johnson became one of the few lone voices outside of the UNSC membership to vocally support the imposition of sanctions against Zimbabwe.
There are interesting comments as well. Here is one reader's first few lines:
Even Hitler had his supporters; Idi Amin too had his State Research goons ready to defend him to the last day. So this kind of support of Mugabe at this time of the game is not unprecedented.
