[Chimichanga12594]

Mugabe is the black Hitler

Get this man out of Zimbabwe. You are wasting your time to make him share the ower. It is a disgrase. He cannot help Zimbabwe.

@Znaika1 not all zimbabwians are brainwashed, if they were brainwashed, so many would not flee zimbabwe.

[Znaika1]

This nonsense is not worthwhile of a longer answer than this one.

[Znaika1]

After 30 years of his presidency Mugabe came to the same situation as other communist dictators of the past: Stalin, Mao, Castro and Pol Pot: one party system, brainwashed population, failed economy, stalled education and collapsed health services on one side luxury villas for president, limousines, new clothes every day, tens of bodyguards on another. President Mugabe is a typical tin pot dictator.

Mugabe is trying to use Tsvangirai to deceive international community. Mugabe pretends that he has loosen the grip, so that through Tsvangirai IMF gives him more money to steal.

Return stolen properties back to the rightful owners then get some help in return, not before!

This is the good test for Tsvangirai. If he accommodates, if he calms down after having been included into the ruling elite, then he is just another corrupt official, not a true representative of the Zimbabwean people.

White Imperialism / Also their secret societies, UN, UNited States, Masons, Illuminati etc.

Have pledged Africa with aids, and tried to control them for centries, now they are the ones behind the Cholorea breakout in Zimbabwe an they think the Zimbabweh poeple are stupid, how could this out break just coincidently happen while Mugabe is running, its them whites that did it! DEATH TO THEM OPRESSERS OF MANKIND!

Mugabe came to power by using terror tactics in the bush war, then reinforcing his power in the 80's by the same means, and finally hanging onto illigitimate power using intimidation in election campaigns - what made anyone think he was going to change now, and accept powersharing? he is senile and completely mad with power. only his death or major political upheaval will change things. he's also shown Mbeki to be the complete failure he's always been, at home and regionally.

I really hope this deal will start a historic process towards humanity, respect for humanrights, a decreasing inflation, an increasing of jobs, improvements of the education and health-care system and put corruption to a final end, which is so crucial to start a prosperous society as Zimbabwe truely is, if she got the chance.

At a start ALLOW RED CROSS TO HELP THE POPULATION WHO ARE SUFFERING. Enough people have suffered, enough innocent blood as been split.
