(HERALD) AU must protect African interests

AU must protect African interests

EDITOR — As we celebrate Africa Day later this month, we must be wary of the West’s imminent attempt to recolonise Africa. We are under siege and Zimbabwe is a natural target given that its leadership has been outspoken against neo-colonialism. Westerners feel there is an opportunity to dislodge Zanu-PF, the icon of liberation movements after Unip, and then go for MPLA, ANC, Swapo, PAC and Frelimo.

If you see how frantic the Americans and Britons are to force MDC-T into power, you will agree with me that this is not their only destination.

In that light, we must not be surprised by Jendayi Frazer’s mischievous call for an MDC-T boycott of the potential run-off.

Americans are afraid their stooges may have had a temporary success and the guided missile may be shot down after all.

If MDC-T decides not to participate in the run-off, we will not be disturbed but celebrate that the Western hand has finally left our politics.

Those keen to see Zimbabwe remain democratic agree with me that we must protect our Constitution at whatever cost.

If our Constitution says run-off then those who qualify must come forward for the electorate to decide or pull out, not to jump the gun.

The lot at MDC-T can go hang, Zimbabwe will not fall to the West’s vile bullishness.

As long as we are protecting our laws from external manipulation, God and the progressive world will be on our side.

Tsvangirai and the "educated" fellows in his gang of sellouts are aware of this and the outside world must not be pushed to set a wrong precedence.

Most Sadc leaders must be applauded for being resolute about getting African solutions to African problems.

As for the misguided Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa, I have always doubted his mental stability after his horrendous accident, I do not doubt that he is a willing sellout.

If you see how MDC-T is following echoes from the White House and 10 Downing Street, you will never doubt who is behind all these undemocratic tendencies. The sponsors of an unprocedural attempt by MDC-T duet to address the UN must realise that the world body is not synonymous with the West, in particular Britain and America.

The nations of the world are aware of these countries’ hypocrisy and it was no surprise that Biti and Mukonoweshuro failed to address the Security Council.

The problem with the West is that if you agree with their treachery they automatically raise you to the level of a government. This has always backfired and in the case of MDC-T it was disastrous because the group leader does not think properly.

In a nutshell all Africans must guard their Africanness, resources and culture from imperialist plunder. Our minds must not only read beyond the sweet talk by the West but their intentions and lies.

These are descendants of our slave master, former colonisers and present exploiters of our rich natural resources. These are the same people who think we got our freedom too early, as they believe we are subhuman.

The West has a policy that any government that believes in the success of its people must be replaced by a puppet regime. Zimbabwe is a victim of these machinations and she needs Africa to stand on her side.

Our war is not for Zimbabweans but for Africans and people of the world who have been subjected to American and British hegemony for centuries.

These empires have bullied the world throughout much of recorded history through wars, economic strangulation and unforgivable racism.

The British and Americans have the blood of the millions they killed in Vietnam, Japan, Korea, Middle East, Africa, Latin America on their hands. These are the same people who claim to be champions of democracy. What rank hypocrisy!

We have had many from the continent who sell out for the greed of money or power. In Zimbabwe today we have Morgan Tsvangirai and his followers who have swallowed Western diatribes hook, line and sinker.

The war-mongering British sponsor Tsvangirai’s gaffes at the UN and his failed bid to become president of Zimbabwe. The British and their allies do not realise the anger they are provoking as they create unending wars and hatred among Africans.

In future no African country must go to elections when it is at war.

Zimbabwe has been at war with Britain for the past 10 years because of land reforms and I wonder why we went for elections when guns are clearly pointed on our foreheads by our enemies.

The African Union must protect the interest of Africans and must never be used to define democracy in a way, which has no relevance to our circumstances.
