President Mugabe

The United Nations, which brings together 193 member-states, is the only truly international community and when it speaks, all member-states must listen, no matter their geographical size, financial muscle or military might. We hope the United States, Britain and Australia got the message when UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon congratulated President Mugabe on his re-election and inauguration as Head of State and Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces.

Mr Ban sent a congratulatory message to President Mugabe expressing the world body’s readiness to work with the Government.
It is high time MDC-T and its allies realised the game is over.

The buck stops with the world body, and Zimbabwe is a closed chapter.
We take this opportunity to commend the UN for calling it as they saw it.

Now that the world, serve for Britain, America and some racist members of the European Union that are still fighting from Mr Tsvangirai’s corner have endorsed President Mugabe’s victory, the issues that should occupy Zanu-PF now are to ensure that Zimbabwe continues to make progress in the implementation of pro-people policies such as the indigenisation and economic empowerment drives that are designed to put the economy in the hands of indigenous Zimbabweans who should take control of their God-given resources.

We call on the UN to go a step further and call for the unconditional lifting of the West’s illegal economic sanctions.
The writing is on the wall for Mr Tsvangirai that the poll rigging mantra that he has been peddling has found no takers.

In fact, it sounds hollow and ridiculous by the day.
It serves no other purpose than to give Westerners the excuse to maintain their unwarranted sanctions regime, and consolidates Mr Tsvangirai’s place in history as a Western askari.

We challenge the MDC-T national executive that is reported elsewhere in this issue calling for Mr Tsvangirai’s ouster to ensure that their leader should ensure that the sanctions he campaigned for are removed before they kick him out of office.

The sanctions are diabolic, destructive and unwarranted, as President Mugabe said, the sanctions have failed to achieve their intended objectives, and should be removed.

We want to challenge Mr Tsvangirai and his handlers that if Zimbabweans said no to sanctions by overwhelmingly voting President Mugabe and Zanu-PF into office on July 31, then who are their sanctions serving?

We call upon Mr Tsvangirai to immediately stop his election rigging mantra, which the region and the progressive world have already rejected.

It is high time he turned his sword into ploughshares.
