JUST A THOUGHT - PRESIDENT MUGABE PUTTING THE COUPISTS INTO THEIR PLACE? PART 3.

Image
GCC.: Yes, Mr President. That is all I, Chiwenga, aspire to achieve; to protect you from these  infernal 'criminals', who have secreted themselves into positions around you.  This is all that me and Mnangagwa have set ourselves to do. We would, Mr President, sooner betray the people of Zimbabwe, than to act against you.  (As Chiwenga catapulted the last word from his mouth, he could not help but think what President Mugabe might have said.  If he knew that what he, Chiwenga, was telling him, is not what he was really thinking.  And how careful he had to be to prevent his alter ego taking over and tell his soon to be then President, what he was really thinking.  Which was that, like Mnangagwa, he, Chiwenga, also thought that Grace Mugabe, was one of 'the criminals' whom he wanted to protect the President from.  Or that he, Chiwenga, has long concluded that the whole Zanu-PF regime, of which he was a part, was riddled with, if not entirely constituted of &

Over a decade since the The British Queen, it is believed, had done her bit to have Black British citizens joining the Royal Household Cavlary.  And so, today, we are seeing a further evolution of the British Monarchy, into, like all or most other institutions in the British Realm.   Becoming less exclusive and more inclusive of all the different ethnic groups, social classes, and competing leading ideas within society. The fact that Harry is a white young man, and Meghan is woman of white and black parentage is, frankly, not of great significance in 21st Century Britain and the world.  Since this kind of relationship is quite common within contemporary British and American societies.  If they make each other happy and want to commit their lives, which, like all lives, are likely to have their ups and its downs, then, that is what matters most.  Not the fact that Meghan will be getting married to a Prince, because, for all intents and purposes, the reign of Royalties

With the Zanu-PF coup against Robert Mugabe now having succeed in its objective to replace him with the former heir apparent, Mnangagwa, in preference to Grace Mugabe.  And with the 'Crocodile' now well on his way to consolidating him position, by appointing a new cabinet from Zanu-PF's loyal elites.  With him having attempted to draw the fangs of the military elite, by co-opting them into his government and removing them from their natural source of power.  I now return to what the former President Mugabe, and General Chiwenga might have been saying in some of their discussion; prior to the Robert Mugabe having agreed to step down.  PRM.: I did, eh, and you are grateful to me for what I have done for you. Yes, Chiwenga? GCC.: Yes, Mr President. I am eternally grateful to you. Which is why I am now trying to protect you from the 'criminals' surrounding you. PRM.: And how to you repay the trust and loyalty I have shown to you, Chiwenga, by appointing y

LIBYAN 'SLAVE TRADING' - A TRAGIC DISTRACTION FROM THE NEED FOR EUROPE AND AMERICA TO REBUILD THE COUNTRY THEY DESTROYED'? PART 2.

The flame which is still consuming Libya's neighbours, as well as parts of the Middle East. The flames which France's Emmanuel Macron, in his frequent visits to Francophone Africa, is 'not', but is 'lecturing' African governments to put out.   Are the same flames which France and her Nato allies have set in Libya.  Europe and Nato, then, are the equivalent of 'arsonists' in Africa and the Middle East;  recklessly setting fires and then leaving the 'natives', whose resources are already depleted, to put them out, or be consumed by them. Let us look at some of the impact of this catastrophic European and Nato fire-setting.  Mali and her Sahel partners, Chad and Niger, have been destabilised. Their and their neighbours' economies have been seriously harmed by the decapitation of Libya.  The removal of Libya as a source of employment for tens of thousands of Africans.   Have meant increased unemployment, poverty and probably m

It is, as it were, 'normal.'.s might notice that Megan is darker than Harry, although  they are both undeniably of the same human species.  So, what does this mean? Well, just that Megan's father is a white American, while her mother is an African-American, or, more accurately, is of African-American background.   Since, like millions of black people from the 'African diaspora', she has probably never been to Africa, or was born there. So, here as well, there really is nothing unusual, out of the ordinary or 'not normal,' about the relationship between Meghan and Harry.  As Meghan has been brought up by parents  who have already experienced and bridges the 'black and white ethnic' categorization.  There are hundreds of thousands of relationships between people of different ethnic groups or communities, including between white and black partners. So, if there is, indeed, anything unusual about their relationship, what can it be?  Cou

' For as long as the former functional state of Libya remains in its current state of dismemberment.   Of having to exist between the periphery of life and death, sanity and insanity, civil society and barbarity'.  She will always be a pitiful and tragic symbol of Europe's and America's reckless disregard for the welfare of the people of States and governments which they perceive as representing a serious threat to their selfish interests.  Libya should represent one of the most shameful act of destruction by Nato, so, you might ask: Why is Europe and America not doing more to atone for and clean up their crime?' For Libya and the Libyan people, the Spring of 2011 has been one of  unprecedented tragedy.  It was the time when events began to transpire that thousands of Libyans, both in and outside of the country, believed would have been for the greater good.   But which has since  developed and deteriorated into being for the greater harm. Into a ca

So, what do every human desires at some point in their/our lives, than that we should meet our 'soulmate'?  Someone with whom we make and share an intimate life and living with.  Whom we can try to make an integral and forever part of our lives; our better half, and have them reciprocate it. Now, this might be a common aspiration to all of us humans, although it is not all of us who have the privilege and the freedom to make it into a reality.  It is a 'right' or 'privilege' to those of us whom our society, our culture, customs and laws have accorded us.  It is a dream which only some of us, even in the societies where each human is able to choose their own partners, are able to make into a reality.  Societies where the community does not have the strong hold which it has over the individual, in the more traditional societies.  Yes, a common, shared dream, but a reality which is not shared by all. Either because their tradition does not all

JUST A THOUGHT - EGYPT'S CONTINUING BETRAYAL OF THE HOPE AND LIVES OF THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE! THE END.

President Al Sisi and his government's moral and political legitimacy as rulers of Egypt, is and will always be questioned by millions of people.  Including many millions of Egyptians, who are likely to see them as usurpers of the hope and expectations of the 'Arab Spring', which saw the overthrow of former President Mubarak.  Followed by brief reign of a Brotherhood led government, which was subsequently bloodily removed by the Egyptian Army, and replaced by the present Al Sisi led regime. Having destroyed the attempt of Egyptians to build a better and more prosperous future for themselves.  To make Egypt proud and a nation of substance again. It might have been hoped that President Al Sisi and his government would have attempted to make  positive difference for the Egyptian people and the world.  But this is not happening. Egypt, it seems, is still as it has always been. A country sinking in poverty and despair. Still rife with intra and inter-religi
