Paul has written an open letter to Robert Mugabe. While I share Barry's scepticism about the outcome - anything that highlight's the dreadful situation in Zimbabwe is worth supporting. Pop over to Mars Hill and show your support.
I think you make a valid point about neo-colonial attitudes being unhelpful and about Zimbabweans taking control of their own destiny, however international pressure surely does have caried roles to play in encouraging the development of this control.
Change must come from within Zimbabwe itself, but change will come quicker if groups such as MDC and WOZA know that the support exists in the international community for their actions.
This blog is about anything and everything that comes into my head at any given time.
Usual disclaimer - these are my views only, not to be attributed to friends, family, current employers, former employers or me in three weeks time when I change my mind.
