Sanctions: Priority greater than human life (The Herald)

AT a moment when one would expect any sane Zimbabwean and any foreigner carrying a semblance of a heart to share the optimism coming through the country’s recovering economy, it appears that the excruciating Western illegally imposed sanctions are still a top political priority — a trump card to outflank Zanu-PF, and a tool of political leverage by those who believe in priorities higher than human life.

Nelson Chamisa and Eddie Cross certainly think sanctions are nothing but a tool to inflict pain on their political rivals in Zanu-PF. They have this crabbed and peevish attitude that is absolutely blind to the human suffering brought about by the MDC-T-mobilised and Western-imposed decade long sanctions that have silently slaughtered thousands of our people.

Chamisa makes sad reading of a young, promising, handsome and intelligent politician going mad.

This is a war between revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries; between nationalists and quislings; between Zimbabwean patriots and the US and Britain.

THE frisky announcement made by Morgan Tsvangirai on Sunday, June 22 was not made on behalf of people who support MDC-T and most certainly not on behalf of the generality of Zimbabweans.

It is obvious that the euphoria that came with Tsvangirai’s lead in the first round of the presidential election has turned into hypochondria and the calamitous state of the opposition has meant that MDC-T has had to be seen to be doing something to avert Tsvangirai’s melancholy that has come with the revival of Zanu-PF’s fortunes.
