Every day, I listen to the news highlights on German radio. Deutsche Welle has a special broadcast where the reports are read slowly.
In the past 90 days, there may have been 5 broadcasts that did not mention something about Zimbabwe. I fear for what is happening to the people of Zimbabwe and that their situation is likely to become far worse. Robert Mugabe is an old thug. I don't know what would be worse - life with him as your leader or life with one of his thugs running the country. Given that Mugabe is in his 80s, we me soon find out about the latter. Yes, Zimbabwe is on the other side of the planet. But the people of Zimbabwe are still our brothers and sisters. Let's hope that a peaceful miracle occurs - but we had better not hold our breath.
Add Africa to the list of regions that could become destabilized in the next few years. For a recent Christian Science Monitor report on the situation in Zimbabwe, go to: http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0616/p01s01-woaf.html.
