Response
to Eddie Cross, "The propensity to self destruct"

Letter in response
to Eddie Cross' recent commentary
Dear Eddie,
The mystery
to me is that you seem genuinely surprised by the behaviour of ZANU(PF).
They did not self-destruct, they have destroyed Zimbabwe. Big difference!
They are happily driving their 4x4s, living in luxury homes and
awash with foreign currency, while half of our pauperised population
is on life support from sympathetic donors. ZANU(PF) cronies have
successfully transferred the wealth of the nation to themselves,
while they have destroyed the economic base of our country. As a
starting point we need to grasp the fact that they are utterly shameless,
care not one jot about anyone but themselves, and can never be trusted.
Which is why
it boggles my mind (and those of many other Zimbabweans), that having
witnessed their barbarism, greed and duplicity over the last 10
years, the MDC could even contemplate joining ZANU(PF) in government.
And, worse, that the MDC could delude itself that it either had
sufficient power to twist Mugabe-s arm or think they could
sweet-talk him into cooperating. It is just pitiful to see the MDC
justifying their Benzs, while they are powerless to stop the last
brave white farmers from being thrown off their land. The second
fact the MDC must grasp is that they are powerless and that they
have indeed been sucked into the ZANU(PF) morass.
And, yes, there
is something the MDC can do ...... GET OUT!!
The MDC should:
- Declare that
ZANU(PF) has failed to uphold the agreement
- Declare the
power-sharing government dead
- Reassert
its claim that it won the only elections recognised by the AU,
SADC and the international community and
- Call for
fresh election under the supervision and protection of the UN
as soon as possible.
The MDC must
once again stand with the people, not their oppressors!
The MDC must
stand up for democracy and justice, not the whims of feckless SADC
countries!
Regards,
Dale Doré
