The arrogance of 'divide and rule'


Robert Mugabe's assertion that his country's war veterans will take to the bush and fight if he loses the upcomming run-off elections shows how terribly detatched the Zimbabwean leader has become from the suffering as well as aspirations of his people.

Attempting to drive a wedge between factions of the populace means he has lost interest in the concerns of the collective, further re-enforcing the belief that he desires to hold on to power at all cost.

There can only be one result of this course of action.. ontold violence.

It is perhaps time for the majority to speak up with one voice, and stifle the machinations of the minority in power, not just for the sake of its self- actualization, but also for the sake of peace.

It is perhaps time, for a peoples' revolution...
