Hi all.
I have just been watching David Cameron saying that we would have to take action if Gadaffi keeps doing 'nasty' things to his people. :o
I do not know the technical sides of politics, so what I want to know is why the furore over Libya, but Robert Magabwe has been killing, burning and torturing his people and people of other races, but nothing was/has been done in that area. >:(
As I said, I don't know the ins and outs of the things, maybe someone can explain :y
-
Oil.
-
Ahhhhhhhhh.....so thats it.
Forgive my ignorance........obviously no oil in Zimbabwe :y
-
yep its oil.
we dont care what he does to his people but we love his oil. mmmm oil
-
Indeed, and Libya is on the door step of a highly volatile region of the world which could drastically reduce the supply of oil to the west if it all goes into melt down. :'( :'( :'(
There could even be a major world conflict! But Zimbabwe? What do they matter? How can they affect anyone?! ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
exactly. its the beginning of the end for all of us.
i have no idea when but humans will all be wiped out when natural resources run out and the nukes start coming :o
-
Oil.
I refer the honourable member to the reply I posted in an earlier thread:
I'm not convinced that oil, or rather lack of it, comes into the question as far as Zimbabwe is concerned. Rather, the West has felt for a long time now that any African adventure would be suicidal due to the racial and rich/poor overtones. When the chips are down, the African Union would always back one of its own. However, the northern African states are seen as more Arabic than Black African and do not command the same support. However, that's merely my opinion.

That's bullying. I may have to report you for being ageist, racist, sexist...or some ist anyway. ::)

Oil and south african politics aside, Mr Mugabe will as likely be dead before too long. Gaddafi has got about 15years on 'Uncle Bob', so he'll need sorting first. He had due warning about 20 years ago, and only recently been 'misbehaving'. If he doesn't regain some sort of control very soon, someone else (us and our special friends) will have to sort
himit out.

Yes, I agreed with that the first time and do so once more.
The tribal system and the tendency for the ruling elite of most of those nations to line their own pockets, conspires to preclude any realistic intervention.
