Sir you are absolutely right saying that “Zimbabwe needs a political solution” December 8 and which should be nothing short of Mugabe’s resignation. The current sufferings in Zimbabwe, which have nothing to do with religious or cultural traditions but just with the mad ineptitude of an autocrat that wants to hang on to power no matter what, are not the kind of offerings that could be justified on the sovereignty altar of any country. And most of the African leaders know it, which makes the inaction of so many of them even worse.
While an Executive Director at the World Bank 2002-2004 I gave my unlimited and heartfelt support to the African countries in the issue of more voice to them and more freedom to apply their own criteria and country systems. Today I pray all Africa makes it very clear that a Mugabe represent neither an African voice nor an African country system
