Zimbabwe Meltdown and Fast
by AlvarezGalloso @ 2007-08-14 - 13:37:51

BBC News has just released two reports on the increasing meltdown taking place in Zimbabwe.

One article commented about Human Rights Watch has urged nations in southern Africa to take measures to prevent further deterioration of the situation in Zimbabwe. Another commented about the inflation of 4500%, lack of food, water, and employment.

Many bloggers including Ark 888 have commented about the situation in Zimbabwe. Even Press TV did a special on Zimbabwe and was mentioned in The Alvarez Galloso News Hour.

It is essential that Zimbabwe and Southern Africa initiate plans for a transition to democracy in a gradual sense. As this blog is being written, many people in America are trying to have the World Cup 2010 moved to USA or to England. The Alvarez Galloso News Hour knows about both movements and the increasing cancellations in America of the World Cup 2010.

My Wife and Daughter has even pleaded with me to cancel which I did.

It appears that Mugabe is afraid that he will suffer the same fate as Ceaucescu in Romania in 1989. I can only say that Mugabe dug his own grave with his destabilization and his attitude a la Louis XIV: "I am The State".

Again the wishes and prayers are with the people of Zimbabwe.

Before leaving, a friend of mine called El Forastero de Ohio had his book banned by Mugabe.

Good on you Alvarez.

I don't think it has dawned on the South African government just how bad things really are. Although some in government do admit that things are getting very bad most of the people in the ANC just ignore it and then have the gaul to blame the UK for all the trouble in Zimbabwe. The whole thing is just so tragically distorted.

South Africa blames UK for Zim problems:

Thanks for your comments. It is for this reason that Zimbabwe had to be brought out into the open. While the UK has done many bad things in the past, the problem with Zimbabwe rests on Mugabe and the rest of the Southern African Community. If it takes moving the World Cup elsewhere and/ or cancelling the World Cup 2010 Reservations to move mountains, then this is what will happen.

I read the article about South Africa blaming the UK for Zimbabwe's problems, it was interesting.

I read the comment and made my contributions. As I am writing my wife and daughter [she is 11 years old] made sure that I did not buy for the World Cup 2010. There are still some people in America with the desire to transfer the World Cup 2010 to the USA or England.
