UN Rejected US/UK Sanction On Mugabe

So, because of this assumption all other countries should just lay on the floor and allow US to step all over their face?
My man, if this is you recommendation, then I think it will be right to replace UN with US; and we shall all witness what will happen to the world.

UN represents world unity; all it takes to empower this organization is by following the same rules, regardless of who you are or where you come from or how big is your contribution.
I hate to admit to you that UN is struggling today because of an obvious lack of respect United States continues to exhibit towards them.

United States as a super power should be smart enough to recognise the negative effect they brought to UN by disregarding the objection of Iraq war.
I truly think this is the main beef around the world. For example, Russia is completely determined to veto anything that involves United States and I see more countries following the same path.

Therefore, indirectly it isn't about UN, but about seeing the down fall of US.
And believe it or not United States also clearly recognizes this motion and this is why "CHANGE IN USA" is extremely necessary.
Because it might get worst before it gets better!

@davidlan
that is precisely why i said irrespective of china's politic leanings, the most important thing at this moment is not that they stood up for mugabe but that they were the voice of reason and the balance in  a world where the president of the police country and super super power is  a man of less than average i.q
its not about mugabe and his allies/kitchen cabinet or about tsvangirai and his elder brother gordon brown and co,but about the main owners of the country i.e the zimbabweans, and they really can't run away from dialogue and power sharing if they want the killings and unrest to stop,lets forget about electoral malpractise,rigging,ego trip from both candidates and their supporters and what not now and make safety of the citizens,hunger eradication,health,economic stability e.t.c the main priority now and

Its really sad that countries like South Africa continue to pander to the whims of this tyrant of a man. Unfortunately African leaders will NOT step up to the plate and do what is necessary, because they also do not want to be disturbed when engaged in tyrant activities in their home countries. Look the other way in Mugabe's case, and others will look the other way in your case.

Mugabe is ruining the country, and some people are celebrating failed sanctions?

What voice of reason do China and Russia bring in this situation except to sell their arms? Are they persuading Mugabe to discuss with the opposition? Are they telling him to stop distributing food aid based on ZANU-PF? The failure of sanctions merely serves to strengthen Mugabe's hand - he feels he can now continue the wanton tyranny without anyone interfering. Sad sad day for the poor Zimbabweans

roflmao!!!

What silly profound message?  The same profound message that people can continue to die in Darfur and Sudan, simply because China will get oil from there and supply arms to keep killing people there?

The only message here is that while countries in the West sometimes act out of altruistic motives, the Russians and Chinese will never do that - they will only support something that directly benefits them.

My man, you have just introduced the "Mighty United States of America" to all us.

Bigb1,
so the people of Zimbabwe can go hang as long as a 'message' is sent out to the US, right?

Ditto the people being raped and killed in darfur. As long as your message is being sent out by China, no sanctions against Sudan, no possibility of large scale intervention, no nothing.

Nice. Remember to enjoy your meal tonight. after all, the suffering is remote from you.

US/UK are cowards; they want to reduce death-toll of their people.

Only a fool will fail to see their tactics and strategies.

1. They start with mild-sanctions: to deceive others that its really harmless

2. They go to arms-embargo: so that you can't update your armoury

3. They go for financial embargo: so you don't have access to your money or be able to pay other countries to supply you arms
   This also have effect of reducing your army to hungry-folks.

4. They bully others to accept their ways.Once you are fully decapitated, which can take years.

5. They finally call you BAD-NAME with their PRESS and come in to finish-up what is already a deeply weak country.

Above is their style simply because they know SANCTION never remove any leader. It never but they use that to hide the real objective.

Least will all forget, just 10years ago, MUGABE was made KNIGHT OF BRITISH EMPIRE by Queen for his contribution to UK. Since he is no longer contributing,  time to let him go. And where UK go, US goes. Case closed.

Thank you Russian, Thank you China. But I know UK/US will stir up another tactics.

Time to support Mbeki, Mugabe, oppositions and Zim people to find solution, lasting solution to their differences.

Despite this "fact" there are more queues at US/UK embassies than anywhere else in the world. How many people are queueing for Zimbabwean visas?


Oya tell us, what is Mbeki's position?

Ok remove the US/UK from the equation, what is YOUR own longterm solution to this crisis? It is always easy to blame.

Longterm Solution:
The solution is simple: 1000 heads are much better than just 2.
The solution or strategy to effectively disable Mugabe should be implemented jointly, while the UN remains the referee (and not US or UK).
You can not be competing in a game and be the referee of the same game at the same time. (this is what UK or US mostly tries to do, and I think the whole world is sick and tired of it).

You got it?

Hostage ke? Na US abi na UK press dey feed the world this one?

It seems the West is already succeeding with demonizing Mugabe the way they did to Saddam.

Let us hope that it would not be too late before we realize that the US and UK are waging a selfish war yet again.

@Mckren,

I am being honest, as always.

Ghaddafi has been in power since 1969 and Libya is not boiling so the issue of 28 years in power being the problem is based on a faulty foundation.

It is normal for any nation to go through what Zimbabwe is going through when the likes of US and UK do all they can to wreck the country.

The army in Zimbabwe may simply know why there is a conspiracy against Zimbabwe and have chosen to stick with the leader rather than allow someone being sponsored and supported by the West to become the president.

Anyone who runs to a foreign embassy in his own country does not deserve to lead his country simple. The opposition leader should simply kiss the presidency good bye for life.

. . . . . then Mugabe would have even more excuses to call him a 'stooge' of the west and claim they are supplying him with arms - killing more innocent Zimbabweans and causing general havoc. I guess if you don't kill and maim like Mugabe's goons do, you do not 'deserve' to be president.

Ngige was slapped and kidnapped by Chuma Nzeribe before he went to aquire his own security.

Even though Ngige was trying to run a populist Government ,  he was not secured by ordinary Anambrarians, he went to aquire and arm bakassi boys as last minute resort.

That is a situation that should not be encouraged in any sane society as it breeds lawlessness.

This mentality is exactly what is breeding so much rebels across Africa

We are not interested in discouraging our leaders from pushing our people to the wall, we rather call people coward for not fighting back when our leaders refuse to do the right thing.

What is point liberating your people from one slavery and then lead them into another slavery?
