Zimbabwe Fights Back
The man has more moves than Michael Jackson: dictator Robert Mugabe announced plans yesterday to form a sham 'government of national unity' and ignore negotiations to resolve the national election crisis with the Movement for Democratic Change lead by Morgan Tsvangirai. Inflation in Zimbabwe has gone off the charts, and millions of Zimbabwe's people face starvation. Mugabe will be meeting with leaders of other South African nations in Johannesburg this weekend. Democratic activists are planning massive demonstrations against Mugabe's increasingly desperate attempts to stay in power. Trade unionists in the region have vowed to squeeze Mugabe by refusing to handle all goods going in or out of Zimbabwe if their political leaders refuse or are unable to remove Mugabe from power. Help our African brothers convince power than Mugabe must go by signing a petition showing your opposition to the destruction of democracy in Zimbabwe. Send Mugabe and Zanu PF off! http://www.avaaz.org/en/red_card_for_mugabe?cl=116640376&v=2034
