Whose country is it anyway?

I READ with a deep sense of sadness that the European Union and the U.S. are watching the developments in Zimbabwe closely and was also deeply concerned by the move by the E.U. to slap Zimbabwe with further sanctions as the talks are underway. I am sorry to say, but I feel like the E.U. and the U.S. are now beginning to bully Zimbabweans into accepting their own regime change agenda.



I have often thought that these organisations had the wishes of the Zimbabweans at heart, but now my resentment is growing daily after I saw the pathetic report that they has introduced more sanctions.



I think the E.U. was hoping to get a huge chunk of Zimbabwe from this deal, something that has obviously not happened and their pathetic moves will now only serve to discredit an otherwise peaceful process.



During the last two years of Tony Blair’s premiership, we saw him brokering a deal in Ireland – something which had never been thought to be remotely possible. People will have problems in politics, but the chance for negotiations should never be missed.



The world today is battling with problems created by the British and Americans the world over, yet they stand claiming that they are champions of democracy. Everywhere in the world, they have created problems and blamed other countries for not being able to resolve their differences - the differences they created in the first place.



The problems in the Middle East were caused by the British and they left after creating the state of Israel in 1967 without resolving the problems, or addressing the concerns of the Palestinians. They also did the same in India where they partitioned the country into India and Pakistan and leaving prematurely, in America where the original Indians were displaced (Remember the fate of the Red Indians in Western movies?), in New Zealand with the Maoris, in Australia with the Aborigine populations.

In Africa, Europe partitioned the whole continent and divided into amongst them in 1884-86 in Berlin under Bismarck’s lead. The Slave Trade robbed us of over three-quarters of the productive age group taking them to the Americas, Europe and the Caribbean. Today almost all conflicts in Africa are land-based. They are about the arbitrary boundaries the Europeans created at that Berlin Conference.



When are these people ever going to let us live in peace? Most of us now sympathize with Mugabe when he says “Zimbabwe for Zimbabweans”.
