Folks,
Dictator Mugabe is facing trying times. His party is divided.
A healthy development for Africa's political evolution. Ruling
party members are now brave enough to reject ill-conceived Mugabe
policies. If Zimbabwean can do it, why not The Gambia?
It's time to end dictatorship. I hope dictator
Jammeh will draw lessons from the Zimbabwean crisis. A new
political trend is emerging in Africa. Days of dictators
are numbered.

Rare Zimbabwe ruling party demo
Mugabe has moved swiftly against several prominent figures
Members of Zimbabwe's governing Zanu-PF party have held a rare protest
outside its headquarters.
Scores of women protesters surrounded Political Commissar Elliot Manyika's
car and would not let him leave until he agreed to look into their concerns.
They accuse the government of manipulating candidate lists for parliamentary
election in March.
It follows the suspension of six party officials for five years, preventing
them from standing in the election.
The officials, all provincial party chairmen, are accused of campaigning
against President Robert Mugabe's choice of candidate for vice-president.
Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa, Information Minister Jonathan Moyo and a
militant war veterans' leader, Joseph Chinotimba, also failed to appear on
the party's lists.
President Mugabe said last month he would only appoint elected MPs into his
cabinet as ministers.
Underlying the row is a debate on who should succeed President Mugabe on his
expected retirement in 2008.
Observers say the row is one of the worst within Zanu-PF in the past 30
years.
The main opposition party has threatened to boycott the election.
