  Hey everyone,
   
  On the push and pull on Robert Mugabi and Zimbabwe’s stance on the western involvement on the political structure in the country is unfair on one hand and unavoidable on the other. African’s problem should be dealt with by African people and Robert Mugabi’s case is not exceptional moreover a hero for his country by fighting for the independence with gun barrel. As well as Yahya Jammeh took Gambians out of the hands of the so called greedy PPP regime’s long holding onto power. Therefore, both these two men deserve commendation. 
   
  Having saying this, they will be equally blamed if things goes bad and they fail to accept the fact that, is the same people they hate to see suffering under the previous regime are the same people suffering under them. I don’t think we should always blame the west for the failures but our own leaders who refused to stood for the unification of the continent by still listening to the dictate of the masters on how to run their countries from the initial stage of their reign and when the going went tougher, they put the blame on the west for their own selfish acts resulting to the suffocations of their people. 
   
  The unavoidable of the west involvement in African politics is the fact that we are still very dependence on them even thus Africa is the richest continent in the globe in terms of natural resources which again end up creating jobs for western citizen and therefore increasing their economical strength while Africa is stagnant without brighter future for her people. Both World Bank and the IMF are controlled by the West. This people have muscled out effort to African progress and in other to free ourselves from their influences, we have to unite and therefrom, the natural resources can be beneficial to push the continent forward. Time limit as a leader should not be an option but mandatory. 
   
  I don’t believe one bit that Gambians don’t want to work but the influence, I believe took it roots from the fact that, Africa as a continent don’t want to stand on its two leg to fight the oppressors how can her inhabitance learn to stand on their two leg to fight the problems that is discouraging them resulting to their self-pitying. Why should we go out looking for greener pasture while we can have that in our own continent?
   
  For-example, you grew-up seeing your father who is the leader of the family with vast wealth of lands but doing nothing with them to be self reliant instead depending on other families who are using his lands to be productive, is this encouraging or otherwise? In the same vein, if we see our leader doing nothing but depending on World Bank and IMF who have nothing to loose buy paving ways for our leader to rub us is not encouraging but otherwise?   
   
  Why should we not blame the governments for the laziness of her people?  Even in the west, where employment rate is better, there are people who preferred to stay home than to wake-up every morning heading to work. If at any time the unification of Africa is put inter practice, the people will be more than willing not to be left uncounted for.
