Thanks Suntou. I just wish to protest that I do not consider myself learned 
at all. Just a student of life like the rest of us.

You see, one of my biggest problems with Mugabe is his insistence on staying 
in power indefinitely. My point is that Mugabe is not the only Zimbabwean 
capable of running that country or carrying out the land reform program. 
Even among his own party, there are certainly other people capable of 
governing Zimbabwe. Mugabe has been in power since 1980 - 27 years for God's 
sake! Let someone else take over from within or oustide the ruling party and 
carry on the land reforms. Surely there are others capable of carrying on 
the land reforms?

Thus, it is not a matter of pandering to the West or seeing Africa through 
western eyes, which is a contradiction in terms unless you are either a 
westerner or have been so thorougly brainwashed that you are a white man in 
black skin or, as Fanon would put it, a black skin in white mask. Zimbabwe 
needs a change of leadership, as does many other captive nations in Africa - 
Togo, Cameroon, Gambia, Eritrea being just a few blatant examples. Mugabe is 
old, tired, paranoid, almost a vegetable. Of course, he loves the power and 
the glory of being comrade Mugabe etc. But he needs to go; give Zimbabwe and 
the people of Zimbabwe a break from his nauseating presence. That is my 
point. Thanks.

Baba
