Hallo zusammen.
Kurz vor Weihnachten noch einmal eine Erinnerung daran, dass die ZANU-PF in diesem Jahr die Parlamentswahl verloren hat, dass Morgan Tsvangirai nach kreativem Auszählen die im ersten Wahlgang wohl schon errungene Präsidentschaft verweigert wird, dass auch Südafrikas neuer Präsident Mugabe an der Macht hält, und dass die SADC lieber ZANU-Vorwürfen über eine angebliche Invasion Zimbabwes aus Botswana nachgeht, als den andauernden Entführungen und Morden an MDC-Aktivisten nachzugehen. Lavish life of Mugabe’s looter-in-chief http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/africa/article5375495.eceAs starving Zimbabweans face their bleakest Christmas ever, the head of the state bank puts the last touches to his 47-bedroom palace Fears Mount Schools May Not Re-open For 2009 http://www.thezimbabwestandard.com Saturday, 20 December 2008 21:58 ZIMBABWE'S teachers are demanding at least US$2 200 a month before they resume work, fuelling fears 2009 could be another wasted year for the education sector already weighed down by an unprecedented staff exodus. Chegutu Cholera Outbreak Worst http://www.thezimbabwestandard.com Saturday, 20 December 2008 21:52 RELIEF agencies were last week still struggling to contain the devastating cholera outbreak in Chegutu, which has so far claimed at least 160 lives in less than two weeks. Hungry Soldiers Raid Potato Farm http://www.thezimbabwestandard.com Saturday, 20 December 2008 21:27 HUNGRY soldiers at Pomona Barracks in Harare have resorted to stealing potatoes from a nearby farm allegedly to complement their meagre rations, The Standard learnt last week. Investigations by The Standard revealed that soldiers at the Pomona barracks near Borrowdale survived on a diet of sadza with vegetables as the army's budget was running low. Up To 4 500 Tortured During Farm Invasions, Says Report http://www.thezimbabwestandard.com Saturday, 20 December 2008 21:24 A new report on the government's chaotic land reform programme has revealed that up to 4 500 Zimbabweans were tortured and commercial farmers incurred up to US$1 billion in damages during the exercise. The report compiled after an investigation into human rights violations and losses suffered by commercial farmers and workers since the violent land invasions began in 2000, questions the government's rhetoric that the programme brought social justice. Zim's new legal boss thumbs his nose at SADC http://www.iol.co.za/ December 21 2008 at 10:35AM By Peta Thornycroft Zimbabwe's new attorney-general celebrated his appointment last week with the prosecutions of white farmers in defiance of a regional court ruling which was supposed to protect them from eviction. Congo re-exported ammunition to Zimbabwe-UN experts http://africa.reuters.com Sun 21 Dec 2008, 22:19 GMT UNITED NATIONS, Dec 21 (Reuters) - The Democratic Republic of the Congo re-exported more than 50 tons of ammunition to Zimbabwe earlier this year, according to a recent report by a U.N. group of experts for the Security Council. Mugabe unleashes wave of terror with mass abductions http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/mugabe-unleashes-wave-of-terror-with-mass-abductions-1207395.htmlFears are mounting in Zimbabwe for the lives of more than 40 opposition officials and human rights activists who have been abducted as part of a renewed crackdown by the regime in Harare. At least two more members of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change have disappeared in the past week, along with a freelance investigative reporter. \"The abductions are increasing and it now seems to be happening nationwide,\" Nelson Chamisa, an MDC spokesman,said yesterday. Mugabe's genocide: The images of despair that reveal the full horror of Zimbabwe His body ravaged by cholera, two-year-old Amos barely opens his eyes as a nurse in protective white plastic boots and gloves checks his temperature. Tenderly, his mother Rachel strokes her son's head. But in her heart she must know that his chances are slender. Her little boy is staring death in the face - in all likelihood, he will not survive to see Christmas. Last Tuesday, Rachel walked five miles carrying Amos on her back to an emergency cholera clinic near Zimbabwe's capital, Harare. South Africa's Crime http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/NewsSearch?sb=-1&st=South%20Africa%27s%20Crime&The government is enabling Robert Mugabe's destruction of neighboring Zimbabwe, at the cost of thousands of lives. Sunday, December 21, 2008; Page B06 SOUTH AFRICAN President Kgalema Motlanthe concedes that the situation in Zimbabwe is \"very dire.\" No doubt he's familiar with what the United Nations is reporting: that more than 1,000 people have died of cholera in a spreading epidemic, that 17,000 others are infected and that more than half of the country's remaining population requires emergency food aid to avoid starvation. Hospitals have closed, 80 percent of the country lacks safe drinking water and school attendance is down to 20 percent. Inflation was last registered at 231 million percent; as a practical matter the economy has stopped. As U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon put it last week, Zimbabwe \"stands on the brink of economic, social and political collapse.\" So is Mr. Motlanthe at last ready to use South Africa's considerable leverage to end the nightmare in its neighbor? Will his government finally join those of Zambia, Botswana, Kenya, the United States, Britain, France and Canada in calling for 84-year-old strongman Robert Mugabe to step down? Well, no. \"It's really not for us,\" the president told reporters Wednesday. \"I mean, I don't know if the British feel qualified to impose that on the people of Zimbabwe, but we feel that we should support and take our cue from what they [Zimbabweans] want.\" Worauf stützen sich eigentlich die Hoffnungen mancher, dass die Herrschenden Südafrikas und Namibias im eigenen Land einmal anders handeln werden, wenn sie Mugabe bei seinem Genozid an seinem eigenen Volk unterstützen?

Gruß, Michael Beinahe ist Zimbabwe in Vergessenheit geraten - vielen Dank, Michael. Der Botschafter Südafrikas in Deutschland, Herr Sonwabo Eddie Funde, kann Dir sicherlich eine Antwort geben. Bei Bedarf ist ein Kontakt sicher leicht herzustellen. Als Ex-Eskom Board Member kann er zudem sicherlich auch etwas zur Energiekrise sagen. Manche Afrikaner sind schlauer und lernfähiger als Du Ihnen zutraust. Dumm, dass mir jetzt ein Link fehlt Viele Grüße, Volker |

Moin und fröhliche Weihnachten zusammen.
Kaum kümmert sich die Welt um sich selbst und das Fest, unterstützt die südafrikanische Regierung das illegale Mugabe-Regime mit 300.000.000 Rand: Concern as South Africa gives aid direct to ZANU PF http://www.swradioafrica.com By Tichaona Sibanda 24 December 2008 The South African government has gone against it's word and provided the regime in Harare with farming inputs, forming part of the 300 million rand package it promised to dispense only when a unity government was in place. But Zimbabwe's agriculture Minister Rugare Gumbo confirmed to the state media this week that farming inputs forming part of the aid package had arrived in the country. This contravenes the conditions of the aid that were outlined in September when the plan was announced, which said the R300m in aid was conditional upon the successful formation of a unity government between Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF and the two factions of the MDC. South Africa has also failed to explain why and how inputs have been given to the regime, when they announced back in September that they would only provide funds through aid agencies and Non Governmental Organisations. Responding to what it called 'confusing reports in the media' South African government spokesperson Thabo Masebe confirmed that they were providing the aid to Zimbabwe. He however said it would be released through new SADC mechanisms that were announced last week and they were satisfied that it would reach the intended recipients in a non-partisan manner. He did not explain the Zimbabwe state media reports that said the aid was already there. It is well known that Mugabe uses food aid as a political tool and blocks it's distribution to areas that voted for the MDC in the March elections. Farming inputs are also distributed in a partisan manner, given only to ZANU PF card carrying members. MDC MP for Mbare in Harare, Piniel Denga, told us they 'smelt a rat' when it was announced during last week's ZANU PF conference in Bindura that their supporters would get a Christmas bonus of farming inputs. 'Since we knew they lacked the capacity to buy these inputs we just wondered where the goods would come from, but now we know thanks to the state media. The South African government can never be trusted on issues concerning ZANU PF, they protect and look after their interests,' Denga claimed. The legislator added; 'What the South Africans should know is that by giving inputs like fertilizer to ZANU PF is as good as sprinkling it along the mighty Zambezi river - just wait and see.' Und das ist die Meinung Bischof Tutus: Archbishop Tutu suggests using violence to remove Mugabe http://rawstory.com Agence France-Presse Published: Wednesday December 24, 2008 Nobel Peace Prize laureate says he's 'ashamed' of South Africa for not acting LONDON (AFP) - Archbishop Desmond Tutu launched a stinging attack on South Africa Wednesday, accusing it of failing to stand up to Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe and betraying its apartheid legacy. Tutu, the retired archbishop of Cape Town, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and anti-apartheid campaigner, told BBC radio he was \"ashamed\" of his homeland. He suggested that South Africa had surrendered the \"moral high ground\" which it gained in the post-apartheid era. Tutu also told BBC radio that violence could be used to remove Mugabe, who should then be indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC). His comments came amid rising international pressure for Mugabe to quit and an outbreak of cholera which has killed over 1,000 people, according to UNICEF. The top US envoy for Africa Jendayi Frazer said at the weekend that it had lost confidence in the power-sharing pact between Mugabe and the opposition, remarks dismissed as \"stupid\" by Mugabe. \"I certainly am ashamed of what they've done (South Africa) in the United Nations,\" Tutu said. \"For the world to say no, we're waiting for South Africa's membership of the security council to lapse and then we can take action, that is an awful indictment of a country that has had this proud record of a struggle against a vicious system in the way that we did, that we should have been the one who for a very long time occupied the moral high ground. \"I'm afraid we have betrayed our legacy... I mean, how much more suffering is going to make us say no, we have given Mr Mugabe enough time?\" South Africa is due to leave the UN Security Council within days after two years in a non-permanent seat and commentators say this could remove one major obstacle to UN action against Mugabe. Tutu raised the prospect of using violence to remove Mugabe. \"If Mr Mugabe remains obdurate and as intransigent as he has been about the formation of this government of unity, then he must be asked to step down,\" he said. \"If he refuses, I really do believe that we have to invoke this new doctrine of responsibility to protect\". Asked whether that meant using force to remove Mugabe, Tutu said: \"Yes, yes, or certainly the threat of it\". \"He needs to be warned and his cronies must be warned that the world is not just going to sit by and do nothing, it's going to try and remove them and in addition he is going to be charged before the ICC,\" he added. Tutu said he hoped \"against hope\" that the African Union would take action, adding that some parties \"can be shamed into taking a more firm stance\", including South Africa. Gruß, Michael |

Moin zusammen.
Welch beeindruckender Wirtschaftserfolg! Und das in nur gut zehn Jahren! Quintillion per cent inflation and a 100 trillion dollar note in Zimbabwe http://en.afrik.com/news12533.htmlAs hyper-inflation in Zimbabwe soars unabated, the central bank Friday unveiled a new higher denomination bank note of Z$100 trillion. Official figures of inflation in the country are unavailable, but economists estimate it to be running into quintillion percent. The government stopped issuing the figures in July last year, when it was 231 million percent, fearing they would trigger speculation and profiteering. The central bank also issued Friday new Z$10 trillion, Z$20 trillion and Z$50 trillion bank notes to help the public grapple with hyper-inflation, the highest in the world. But inspite of the new higher denomination bank notes, the purchasing power of the money remains low. The new Z$100 trillion note can only buy 20 loaves of bread. ... Zum Glück kann man noch im Ausland einkaufen: Handbagged http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/leading_article/article5542689.eceThe grotesque greed and hypocrisy of Mugabe and his wife are plain for all to see ... Africans have long been used to their leaders' selfish materialism, their shopping sprees abroad and their inability to separate state finances from their private purse. Few, however, even including Mobutu Sese Seko, the kleptocrat of Zaire, have done so on the scale of Robert Mugabe. … Corruption can scarcely be more blatant than Mr Mugabe's indulgence of his wife. Before embarking on her Far East holiday, she withdrew $92,000 from the central bank in Harare. Yet there is no money available for water pumps and electricity supplies to ensure fresh water in the capital. Children die of cholera so that Mrs Mugabe can go shopping. … Thrill für die europäischen Jäger; Kohle für die Großen; Fleisch, wenn überhaupt, für die Kleinen: British kill entire elephant herd http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article5537002.eceBRITISH hunters, including a prominent Harley Street surgeon, have been paying the Zimbabwean authorities thousands of pounds each to take part in a mass elephant cull. … In Zimbabwe starving people have resorted to killing elephants for food, and recent reports have suggested Mu-gabe’s soldiers are being given meat from carcasses. … Soo, muss man mit Wahlsiegern reden: Robert Mugabe rules out concessions http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/zimbabwe/4283873/Robert-Mugabe-rules-out-concessions.htmlPresident Robert Mugabe has ruled out concessions in power-sharing talks, saying Zimbabwe's opposition has one last chance to join a national unity government. … Irgendwann muss ja auch `mal Schluss sein: ‘MDC leader to be arrested’ http://www.thetimes.co.za/SpecialReports/Zimbabwe/Article.aspx?id=920869PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe’s government has put in place an elaborate plan to arrest main opposition MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai if he refuses to join the envisaged inclusive government, security officials have claimed. … Gruß, Michael |
