ARE THERE ANYWAY AFRICANS CAN RISE UP TO THE OCCASION TO MOVE PASS A CRIPPLING SYSTEM FOR THEIR OWN SEEK?
This is a question asked during a long dialogue I had with a few budding friends on Zimbabwe's a recently held election. I have tried avoiding commenting on the Zimbabwean election for several reasons one of which is:
the final decision still lays with that constitutional court. Still one finds it difficult to extricate oneself completely from the on going debate on what is best based on what has been said at different quarters as regard to the final outcome so far. This is also important considering the fact that ordinary peoples life are what is at stake.
This question was posed also with the background knowledge that no one knows a people better that the people themselves. Politics we all know is dirty game played by those who engage on it and from a stand point of where I am and writing from, there is no better way of dowsing the fire than diplomacy itself as it is the only best alternative to war.
The people spoke! From varying stand point differences remains. How can the critical situation on ground gets bypassed considering the fact that the real bearers of the blunt aren't the politically connected rather the ordinary man on the street.
I totally agree with the South African President Jacob Zuma's sentiment that the sanctions 'be lifted'-if not on the moral grounds but on the condition that the final decision by the court which is yet to be made-so as to give the due process of the law a backing and help the country's functional institution self correct itself.
I would like to repeat the slogan that has found its way into the diction of most Africans 'African solution to African problems. This I would like to be understood based on the obvious crisis that exist which can only be solved by the people whom are directly connected to it. Ours I would suggest is to support it. I make this assertion on the ground that most countries today still have disputed election of which the West is not spared.
Sanction I believe has served its purpose/course of which i submit most, if not all has learn a lesson thus far.
It is time we support efforts aimed at bringing this ones beautiful country on the part back to lost glory although we can argue how flawed this election ended.
Zimbabwe and its institutions aren't perfect,I submit,they will self correct,this way we are helping the country rather than conditioning an outcome.
