  Thanks for the forward. It seems you are looking at Zimbabwe problem in Pan African style of African politics of liberation from white man rule or neo-colonialism. Mugabe is playing his utopian Pan African politics only to stay in power. He has absolute and its absolute power which corrupt him absolutely. The longer he stay in power the more damage he is causing for average Zimbabaweans.I really donot agree with the western geo-politic in relation to land and white farmers. I am concern about the situation of human rights, civil liberty and rule of law which Robert Mugabe and his ZANUPF have no regard.

  *Germany's plot against Zimbabwe exposed*

*The Herald* 

*At least the world can now see for itself the extent of the cowardice,
dishonesty and lies that characterise the West's engagement over Zimbabwe.*

A few days back, the Germany Embassy in Harare denied visas to two key
members of the Zimbabwean delegation that was supposed to attend the ACP-EU
Joint Parliamentary Assembly underway in Wiesbaden, Germany, scuttling
Zimbabwe's participation in the process.

It is important to note that Zimbabwe was supposed to feature prominently on
the agenda, yet the West did not want Zimbabwe to be present to defend
itself against their malicious propaganda.

What is more, they were only too happy to grant a visa to MDC legislator,
Nelson Chamisa, whom they expected to grandstand on their behalf.

Head of delegation Senator Forbes Magadu, who was supposed to table a
resolution to expose the West's hand in the ongoing political and economic
problems in the country, was conveniently denied a visa.

Secretary to the delegation Dr Godfrey Chipare, the principal director
(external relations) with the Parliament of Zimbabwe, who was supposed to
help Senator Magadu with the paperwork, was also denied a visa.

Of course, Senator Clarissa Vongai Muchengeti of Zanu-PF was granted a visa,
but it was evident that the EU wanted to use her as a cover for Chamisa, as
they considered her a soft-target since she did not have the responsibility
of tabling the resolution.

There you have it; Zimbabwe was supposed to be present but not represented,
giving Westerners the opportunity to trash the country at will.

Fortunately, their nefarious agenda was exposed and we hail the Parliament
of Zimbabwe for withdrawing the credentials of the entire delegation.

What is shocking about the saga is not Germany's wanton violation of the
Cotonou Agreement that guarantees immunities and privileges to state parties
conducting ACP-EU business, but the manner in which the Germans shamelessly
lie that no applications were lodged with them when they refused to issue
the application forms for the two delegates in the first place.

They should tell the world why Chamisa and Cde Muchengeti had visas if no
applications had been forwarded.

The scandal is, however, consistent with the West's treatment of Zimbabwe,
their strategy is simple — create problems and blame it on the victim.

That is the whole story behind the land reform programme.

White settlers of Western origin created the skewed land ownership with
their racist policies.

It was Britain that refused to honour its obligations to fund land reforms
in Zimbabwe.

The countries that reneged on the promises they made at the Land Donor
Conference of 1998 were from the West.

It was the West again that tried to internationalise a purely bilateral
dispute between Harare and London.

It is the West that imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe, which sanctions are
behind the economic problems bedevilling the country today.

It is the West that is sponsoring subversive political activities in
Zimbabwe.

It is the West that blames Zimbabwe for everything.

This is why we hope those who are quick to judge, quick to be swayed by
Western propaganda learn from this scandal.

The West does not want the real Zimbabwean story to be heard.

They would rather keep feeding the world with lies.

If, as they say, they are right, they should give Zimbabwe the chance to
present its side of the story and let an informed world decide who is right
and who is wrong.

We have no doubt Zimbabwe will be vindicated.
