| Bobby Mugs has had enough. President Robert Mugabe has suggested that Zimbabwe could leave the Commonwealth rather than surrender its sovereignty. That didn’t work out too well when Ian Smith tried it, Bob. Zimbabwe was suspended from the Commonwealth last after Mugabe was re-elected amid accusations of vote rigging. United States and the European Union imposed travel and financial sanctions on Mugabe and his cronies. You know you’ve got problems when even Nigeria doesn’t want you around. Nigeria recently issued an ultimatum to Mugabe, warning him that he will be excluded from the next Commonwealth summit scheduled for December 5-8 unless he agrees to share power with the Zimbabwean opposition. Cold day in hell when I take orders from Nigerians. Mugabe said today: "If our sovereignty is what we have to lose to be readmitted into the Commonwealth, well we will say goodbye to the Commonwealth, and perhaps the time has now come to say so." I know the guy’s a Rhodesian but you may want to sound out Ian Smith, Bob. He’s got all kinds of experience as an international pariah. |
