Cholera In Zimbabwe

"Because of Cholera, Mr.Brown wants Military Intervention, Sarkozy wants Military Intervention, Bush wants Military Intervention because of Cholera, but I am happy to say our doctors have been assisted by others, the WHO, have now arrested Cholera, so now that there is no Cholera, there is no cause for war...(He Pauses) anymore" were the words of Robert Mugabe. It pains very severely to see that men soaked in shamelessness have the audacity to stand and still be listened to. And even more when equally shameless cronies like the Information Minister, Sikhanyiso Ndlovu, cites Cholera as a genocidal strategy by the UK to recolonize Zimbabwe, a Nation that may very soon be a collapsed state. As if that was not enough of jokes by these two, an aide of Mugabe went on to say later that his boss' sarcasm was mistaken for the eradication of Cholera. Seems to me there are a handful of shameless people in there than we know. What sarcasm? Why sarcasm? Sarcasm over the lives of the UN estimated 800 dead people, sarcasm over the humanitarian imbalance, sarcasm over the immeasurable hazards imposed on Zimbabweans by a Man who once was a hero. I have said, Mugabe was good enough to win freedom and independence for Zimbabwe, and spearhead a nationalistic cause of nation biuilding but that should have been it. I pity the People of Zimbabwe, We The People of Mandela identify with Cholera stricken families living and dead but we fear most for the Cholera that existed long in Zimbabwe, the political Cholera and social questions unanswered.
