Nephissa Posted June 12, 2008 The men who pulled up in three white pickup trucks were looking for Patson Chipiro, head of the Zimbabwean opposition party in Mhondoro district. His wife, Dadirai, told them he was in Harare but would be back later in the day, and the men departed. An hour later they were back. They grabbed Mrs Chipiro and chopped off one of her hands and both her feet. Then they threw her into her hut, locked the door and threw a petrol bomb through the window. The killing last Friday – one of the most grotesque atrocities committed by Robert Mugabe’s regime since independence in 1980 – was carried out on a wave of worsening brutality before the run-off presidential elections in just over two weeks. It echoed the activities of Foday Sankoh, the rebel leader in the Sierra Leone civil war that ended in 2002, whose trade-mark was to chop off hands and feet. here This is just so horrible.

Coloow Posted June 12, 2008 Nephythys (magaca adkaa!) Africa is home to many dictators of all kinds. Western media is suffering from a Zimbabwe disease (read mad cow diseas). Ask yourself the question of why Zimbabwe is in the news? Mugabe came to power in the 70s and has since pursued a policy of dictatorship; ´Western media/intellecia loved him as long as he was killing africans. When he discovered that his hold on to power was coming to an end , he orders the beating of white farmers- and hell broke out on the massmedia front. Where was the media when he was butchering africans (blacks).? Additionally, why are they obsessed with Zimbabwe when Somalia is under occupation from Ethiopia from a dictator (who has incidently imprisoned killed the oppisition). Meles is murdering people in Somalia galbeed. No one talks about this. I am not condoning what Mugabe is doing but the writing is on the wall. As long as africans are killing each other- hakuna mtata. But when there is race/religion involved the dogs of war (massmedia) is there.

nuune Posted June 12, 2008 ^^^ Waa Kiinyaatigii baangadaha iyo budadka isla dhacayey. Mugabe xaalkiisu waa adagyahay, odeyga intuu naceebka westernka u qabo ayuu dib u dhac ku sameeyey, intaas waxuu ka gubanayaa wadanka nimankan reer galbeedkaa la wareegi!

Fabregas Posted June 12, 2008 Well, Meles Zenawi is far worser than Mugabe, and he has just been promised more and more aid as well as rescue plan out of Somalia! Double standards! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abtigiis Posted June 13, 2008 Meeshaa anaa soo maray malin dhow, Lots of propaganda on BBC, Sky news and CNN are baseless. Wax waa jiraan but it is nowhere close to what they say. The economy is wild (largely due to IMF and World Bank restrctions) and the country is going down fast. But in terms of the atrocities, it is not as severe as the Anglo-saxons propagate.
