You might not be alone. There are many Africans
including my self who believe that we need more heroes like Mugaabe in Africa.
We need men like Mugabe who accept that it is not illegal for a Zimbabwean
to own land, and The Obote's of Uganda who believe that a gun can never be a
solution to Rwanda's problem. And untill when we die the Mugabe's and Obote's
will be a population enemy.
For the rest of the population believes that
Africans must always be servants of the West and life members of The
Common-Wealth.
The danger is that we are few.

Mugabe slams 'global inequality'
Mugabe slams 'global
inequality'
By Mark Doyle
BBC correspondent in Geneva
Mugabe said technology was being used to dominate the world
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has attacked global inequality and
what he described as the imperious attitudes of the United States and
Britain.
He was speaking at a United Nations conference on internet
technology in the Swiss city of Geneva.
Although he is subject to an
EU travel ban, exceptions are made for UN events.
Mr Mugabe used the
meeting to respond to criticisms of him led by Britain at the Commonwealth
summit, when Zimbabwe withdrew from the organisation.
His speech
stood out from the mostly bland interventions of other world leaders at this
internet summit.
They generalised about the great potential of
internet technology and the need to spread these advantages to the
developing world.
Vintage Mugabe
Mr Mugabe, by contrast,
said there could be no just information society without more social
equality.
He said there was no point in providing poor people with
computers unless they were also given electricity and a phone network to run
them.
He then attacked the general world order, saying digital
technology was being used by some to dominate the globe.
"The deadly
televised spectacle of an unjust war of occupation in Iraq based on blatant
lies was a dramatic example of a false and failed global information society
founded on the twin aggressive impulses of shock and awe," he said.
This was vintage Robert Mugabe - taking the subject of the day, an
internet conference in Geneva, and applying it to his fight against what he
sees as latter day imperialism.
Opposition leaders in Zimbabwe may
condemn Mr Mugabe for acting oppressively at home; but here in Geneva, many
delegates - whether they agreed with him or not - were impressed by a lively
speech.
"And as we walk, we must make the pledge
that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are
asking the devotees of civil rights, 'When will you be satisfied?' We can
never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel,
cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the
cities (.) No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until
justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream".
(Martin Luther King, 1964 Nobel Peace prize laureate, assassinated for his
struggle)
