| African leaders accused of denying Zimbabwe 'horror' | ||
| 2005-06-23 | ||
 British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has accused African leaders of denying the "horror" taking place in Zimbabwe and failing to crack down on President Robert Mugabe. Mr Straw says that African leaders need to "recognise the horror" taking place in Zimbabwe and until they do, it will not stop.

| #9 Spot, nearly forgot ya! As for the Church, let's check this out. Zanu-Pf has an attitude towards them, Spot. Check out the Elim Mission Massacre, Rhodesia. Their main targets after the local population were Missionaries, civilans and tourism/infrastructure. I would also add as required reading "The Viscount Disasters". The Church (of England) may speak about this and raise awareness, but that is all they can do. They will not raise arms because they are not there, (in situ), and they learnt their lesson at Elim, and, well, it's not pc to kill kaffirs now. OTOH, maybe the Brits are saying something else entirely, lol! OK, guys that's my rant, when's the rantapaloooza-uk-side? |

| #8 Posts 1-3 hit the nail on the head, thanks, Ship. You guys got the picture. And tonight/today as I listened to Jack Straw telling the African Union to sort it, I remembered that the same Jack Straw shook the kaffir's hand, and also Prince Chazza did the same at the Pope's funeral. Is this High Politics? It may be a veiled pansy-feint on the uk's behalf towards the South Africans and Nigerians, but I think it's their message to Africa that it's on it's own. What a pity, because I know, (with a little bit of back-up), lots of people who would slot Bob. Permission to Cut'n Paste your No 3 comment, 2b? |

| #7 There's this from the BBC, Zimbabwe blitz to hit rich areas Going after the folks with money now Bob? That might not be a smart move. Folks with money like to keep it. And they probably wouldn't be to averse to paying someone to have you killed. |

| #6 Your Excellency, You will forgive please. This horror as you call it is so much like the other horrors as you call them as to be virtually unrecognizable from what we consider the ordinary course of life. If you would be so good as to help me, I have a large amount of cash that is proving of great difficulty to move. It will only require your bank account and.... |

| #5 The British Foreign Secretary was referring to a crackdown on squatters living in shanty towns that has left up to 200,000 people homeless. This is a shame, but no mention of the white farmers getting their land seized and many even being killed by Bob's goons? Like 2b sayz, someone needs to finish the job and quick before all of ZimBOBwe starves (like lil' Kimmie's kingdom). |

| #4 Good one, 2b! While I'm not surprised about the silence from African leaders, I am pissed about the silence from church leaders who cry "more aid, debt relief" but say nothing about the real problem facing Africa, namely tyrants like Bob. Until he and his ilk are gone, all the aid and debt relief in the world will be flushed down the toilet while millions suffer, starve, and die. |

| #3 cost of African aid = billions cost of a spec ops team = millions cost of a few bribes = thousands cost of a rifle = hundreds cost of a hooker to lure Bob = dollars cost of a bullet = cents lives saved = priceless |

| #2 Says it all about African leaders if Bob's their hero. If this was a white leader this would have been a major world issue. Africa makes me sick. |

| #1 Time to put some SAS commandos to work killing Bob. For the rest of Africa's leaders Bob is a hero. Time to put an end to that. |
