Mugabe has clearly committed himself to this path of violence and murder and mayhem to retain political power. Now the juggernaut is in full motion there is really no stopping it. I do not believe even Mugabe himself can stop it now. All we can do now is for those still in Zimbabwe, do you best to stay out of the way of the political madness sweeping the country and as for the rest of us note the suffering and deaths in its wake.
The International Community should tell Mugabe in no uncertain terms that it will not have any dealings with him. Winning this run-off election may be Mugabe’s immediate problem. But that problem is nothing compared to the elephant in the room he is trying to ignore; the national economy. Zimbabwe’s economy is in total melt down. And there is nothing Mugabe can do to stop the economic melt down with outside help.
The hundreds of thousands today terrorising and murdering innocent people at Mugabe’s behest will be demobilised soon after the voting on 27 June. The money, vehicles and all other resources that Mugabe had laid out for them in these last two months will dry up so quickly many of them will be find themselves stranded and abandoned. They, like the rest of the Zimbabwe populous, will have to deal with the economic reality of no food, no fuel, valueless Z$, etc.
The suffering and despair caused by the economic melt down will have everyone in Zimbabwe hurting for regime change. Mugabe has somehow managed to prevail against his critics and ride, rough shod, over his political opponent. But none of his ruthless and canning charm has worked on the economy. All his lies, propaganda, anti-West rhetoric and thuggery had any effect in the stopping the national economy’s slow and relentless slid down into the mess it now finds itself. So now if it this one foe, the national economy, who, ultimately, will boot Mugabe out of office!
