World can do nothing unless Zimbabweans act

A lot is being said about Zimbabwe and most nations have called for change, but Robert Mugabe is not listening.

A lot is being said about Zimbabwe and most nations have called for change, but Robert Mugabe is not listening.

Zimbabwe's real truth has not been revealed yet. If so many Zimbabweans are suffering under Mugabe why do they still support Zanu PF?

Is it perhaps that the majority still vote for the party with their hearts?

The outside world needs to study all the mechanisms that contribute to the current situation. This includes scrutinising those who support the same Mugabe that the world regards as the enemy of his own people.

The day Zimbabweans unite and say enough is enough will be the day Mugabe will realise that he is no longer wanted. Presently it is only the MDC, the churches and a few individuals who want him to leave office.

Mugabe's goal is to attack those people who are a threat to his regime and who don't want to abide by his rule. His brute force is a clear indication that he is serious.

The outside world can do nothing if Zimbabweans sit back. They must unite and fight for their human rights. The world wants to help, but there is no proper platform for intervention. It is critical for Zimbabweans to act if they are really serious about getting their freedom back.

The only way South Africa can help is through existing bilateral mutual mechanisms between the two countries.
