Default My Mini Rant on Zimbabwe Situation

I'm actually getting really peeved off about all the Mugabe hype. Sure he is an ***. Sure people are suffering, but it is nowhere near the biggest of African problems, as the media would have you believe.

In the whole election debacle 82 people died, and that is terrible indeed. However, that represents a good day in the Congo, or Somalia where violence is ten times worse. But you wont hear about that and that is because the British and partly the US are propping up the war in Somalia at least.

Another thing getting to me is all this democracy talk. The African Union are meeting and the media are saying they should pressure Mugabe to be democratic. What hypocrisy. They fail to mention that over half of the AU states are not democracies. It is hypocrisy of the highest order. We would hear nothing of Mugabe if he didnt continually stick to fingers up to the British and the white ruling class.

It's really getting to me this subject.
