BBC Coverage

The coverage of the situation inside by Sue Lloydd-Roberts last night on the News at Ten and Newsnight was outstanding. The situation inside Zim is grim. The leadership of the country is deeply at fault. It appears that the complicity of South Africa in this matter is based on a win/win - as skilled people leave Zim they go to SA. SA is booming and needs their skills.

Kenneth Kowunda long ago said to Robert Mugabe that he had a jewel and he should be sure to keep is that way. Mugabe and his chronies are deeply to blame for what has occurred and is occurring. And, it may not yet be the end of the road. A slow decline over another twenty years is entirely possible. Though it is to be hoped that Mugabe will not last that long.

The key question, for us, is however what are we to do? Should Africa solve Africa's problems? Many inside Zim are now looking outside for help.

We should all solve each other's problemss. The world must work together for peace and prosperity. There is no other path.
