The strong ruler of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe has held the seat of power over his countrymen for many years now and doesn't want to leave office. Truly, the Zimbabwean people supported him when he first became their leader but they have grown tired of him unlike Mugabe who hasn't grown tired of holding the staff of office. The last presidential election was regarded as a historic loss to his ruling party and most votes were won by the opposition, but Mugabe would still not let go, waiting for a re-run due to the fact that the opposition did not have an outright win of 50+%. Although those results are still highly questionable due to the fact that Mugabe made hte results to be delayed for many weeks and cannot be considered to be valid anymore. Major African leaders have kept quiet on this leaving Mugabe and the West in the exchange of words. The USA and Britian has voiced strong opposition to his style of leadership that negates fair play in a democracy. The electio nresults were considered a sham and called for Mugabe to step down. However, leading African nations like Nigeria and South Africa have kept quiet over this injustice meted out to Zimbabweans, Nigeria, a western afrcian country, perhaps, not wanting to meddle in the affairs of a Southern African nation and South Africa, perhaps, not wanting to break ties with its brother country.

Cholera is spreading like wildfire in Zimbabawe and all that Mugabe could mutter was that it was a western agenda. Why would the west terrorize Zimbabawe by spreading cholera, this Zimbabwean people should be willing to stand up against the guy, the opposition party should boycott his govt immediately.

I heard that cholera thing was found to be as a result of a sabotage on Mugabe's govt by his western enemies. Well somehow i believe someone consciously caused the cholera outbreak
