Mugabe´s abuse

In 1980 when Mugabe became President of Zimbabwe, he was conceived as a hero of Africa’s liberation struggle. He was handed the second best economy in South Africa with very well functioning infrastructure and good health care. Therefore, it was was expected from him to lead Zimbabwe to a glorious future of rapid socio-economic and political development. Today, this man, an 83-year-old autocrat, is on his way to EU meeting in Lisbon after he has totally ruined his country and deprived his people from all necessities and worthy treatment.  He and  his agents from his feared Central Intelligence Organization (CIO) will be  present at one of the most important meeting place between Africa and Europe. Should Europe meet this corrupt, ruthless and cruel man? Should Sweden meet this monster? Should he even be allowed to speak. A man whose great achievement is collapsing his own country´s economy reaching an inflation rate of 4,500%, according to Time magazine. He is scaring people out of the country causing a brain drain in-order to secure his power. Most of the children in Zimbabwe are out of school due to his and his own governments policies.  People are starving. One third of his people is dependent on food aid for its survival. Maybe it is good with such meeting because it uncovers Zimbabwe´s problems and his abuse. I call for the international community and for the world´s civil society to help Zimbabwean human rights and pro-demracy activists to achieve peace and prosper.  Facing the monsoon,  they will stand strong the rocks, challenging their own fears and making their voice heard.
