Its good sir you got some good schooling.My only fear is that you may have ended at schooling level, and thus may only judge "books" by covers that are presented. You need to go deeper and analyse things impartially, ipapo manje ndipo patinozoti mukoma "Afroboy" vakadzidza. Sanctions themselves are a silent war-which has caused a lot of untold suffering amongst Zimbabweans.Our country was sanctioned for implementing land reform-nothing to do with democracy. If id had anything to do with democracy,then countries like Egypt would have been sanctioned first but alas they were not because all these things have nothing to do with democracy but everything to do with protecting the geopolitical influence of big powers.

Thats very true Sir , sanctions are the worst war weapons ever unlashed on a people,unfortunately for the Zimbabwean its the second time around and inboth instance they have not achieved the intended results,Ambuya vangu kuMhandamabgwe has been the victim, they strengthened and enriched the Bennet and Smith RF, now vanaPombi yadhona MDC, in the current GNU are rich beyond measure, they would rather have the sanctions tarry a bit longer than go for early elections . You are very right the big powers are protecting their geopolitical influence, but then thats the name of the game daddy ,,,, ndivo mabigazi ,we are just pawns, ,,,asika Zapu ndizvo daddy

Why do black people in Zimbabwe refer to or address white people as sir and their fellow black people as comrade or other worse names? Inferiority complex? Just asking, somebody tell me.

The words of the HISTORICALLY LYING pale devils ARE WORTHLESS!

If the white man is speaking, he's LYING & DECEIVING! That's his nature.

Awake and LIBERATED Africans do not need the puerile prognostication of a self-important pale devil on the future of Zim.
Zim Patriots already know what they need to achieve, and WILL achieve, for a Self-determined, Self-developed, Self-sufficient & Self-reliant Zimbabwe.

The ambassador only needs to keep in mind that HE IS A GUEST in Zimbabwe; because by default and from their hellish history on the African Continent, he's already viewed as a criminal colonialist and destructive imperialist.

Truth is: The Big Bones of Nehanda, and small bones too, WILL DO that which is in the best interest of Zim & Africans, regardless of the childish games of the destructive, pale homosexual devils

Didnt Zimbabwe suffer before sanctions?
Why remove them anyway?
Do you want to trade with the west now-the people you hate so much?
I thought we were gonna look east now and trade with China, and get the ever-needed AID from china.
Everyone claims they want to control their own economy- what have you got vanaGUGUDE zvenyu. What have you got? Talk is really cheap. Zimbabwe still gets billions in AID alone and some numpty is gonna talk-down on this? Shame maningi. Thing is UK,US,canada,etc etc are rich countries and its only normal they they will tend to negotiate in their own terms. If you got guts why not start by paying your house girl good money and not expoliting them? Hypocrits.
China is stronger as a nation(central gvt), you zoom into income per capita figures, you start to see an improving third world country.

Only the truth would set Africa free. It is about facing the evils from outside and within as they trully are.

The West needs to admit to their disadvantaging of Africa from before and also now as we go further, and work to correct the wrongs; trade barriers, resource grabbing, excessive remittance of money from Africa's resources, sponsorship of armed conflict, limited voting rights/influence in global institutions: International Courts, IMF & WB etc.

Africa needs to face the cancer within of; disunity amongst states, regions, tribes and religions; corruption by public officials and citizens as well (takes two to tango); lack of vision or the sharing and thus realisation of, properly leveraging Africa's unique position in being almost the exclusive custodian of many essential commodities for global industries. Also African states need a frank uninterupted sit down to discuss and thus make constitutions that cater to their people's wishes. Many things we should do for ourselves and not let foreigners come to Zimbabwe as if they are delivering civilisation. How could we make the same men make a false claim twice?

This man should come to a Zimbabwe that has already done or is doing the best it can for itself where his contribution is for what we can give for a fair return.

Its much better when the Americans send a Yankee for ambassador to Zim when compared to sending a former slave to come to Africa to teach the victims of slavery about the supremacy and righteousness of the slave master, its a mockery to human rights.

Zimbabwe needs the same clear-sighted US policy articulated in George Kennan's 1947 "X" article. The sources of ZANU (PF)'s (mis-)conduct, and what that is, should be self-evident to all reasonable people. The US espouses democratic values and should NOT seek "peaceful coexistence" with ZANU (PF), but MUST make its destruction an imperative of its foreign policy. ZANU (PF) should NOT be seen as necessary to the political future of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe needs US Ambassadors with the balls to look ZANU (PF) in the eye and remaining standing. Christopher Dell and James McGee come to mind. Charles Ray could've been more forceful. One hopes Bruce Wharton will find inspiration in Dell and McGee.

''Zimbabwe's problems for the past 15 years...'' Yes Mr Wharton, you are right! Our problems started with the formation of the western backed MDC fronted by a perveted rough faced open zipped puppet!

But the coalition government need support for it to fully implement the GPA. Why is that the British and Americans think that ZPF is the one responsible for implementing the agreement. What has the Americans and Britain done to strengthen this government which is representative of the broad mass of the population? Formation of the coalition government warrants the unconditional lifting of sanctions to allow for internal political dynamism, restoration of economic prosperity and facilitation of social cohesion. The fact that the sanctions should be removed after "Free and Fair" elections means that Americans and British have a sinister motive rooted in regime change.

Thank God the Charlie has been recalled back, he was too biased, he had blinkers , he did not make a secret that he was pushing for a regime change, that he has failed is crystal clear, blocked by the SADC leaders because the leaders would not let a neo-fascist movement come into Power, that would have reversed the gains of African nationalisim .
We are now going back to the drawing board, I hope some voices of reason have prevailed , that without engaging one of the first five African Nationalisim Party, one of Zimbabwe,s liberating Party,Zapu, the task of regime change is not be possible.
I hope Mr Bruce Wharton will revisit the Zimbabwe/ Rhodesia 1979 era,when the then Carter Admin, reasoned logicaly not to lift or recognize the Internal Settelment,a black regime, because it did not include the two Liberating forces. The Sadc will definetly cooperate if Zapu is brought to the table.Zapu is the final solution to this jigsaw puzzle, The MISSING LINK ZAPU
