It has been clear, for quite sometime, that Robert Mugabe
is no more than a dictator. He has ruined the economy of
his nation, he has no understanding of governance, yet he
cleans to power.
It is not simple Megalomania why he, and those of his ilk
refuse to step down.
It is the depth of his corruption.
Unlike Jerry Rawlins of Ghana and Nelson Mandela of South
Africa who have not plundered the national purse, Mugabe
and his echelon have stolen so much that they can not dare
to leave power.
The billions of dollars stolen by Mugabe will never come to
light until another Party is in power. If he can die in
office, be replaced by one of his own, who strives to bury
the rape of Zimbabwe even deeper, by the time such is
revealed it would be no more explosive than learning that
Duvalier of Haiti stole ten million tons of food aid, sold it
to another country at a profit, while his people starved.
It is "old" news.
This is why Mugabe clings to power.
Every so often when a revelation of his corruption is about
to break the surface, he will divert with the murders of
whites, the smashing of a settlement, one of a dozen acts
of blood letting, which supplants the thefts.
If there is a change of government now, with an unfriendly
opposition, Mugabe will be revealed as what he is; a totally
corrupt dictator whose impetus has always been profit.
If there was a market for slaves, Mugabe would be selling
his people. This is the truth of Robert Mugabe. A truth
he hopes time and obfuscation will hide.
The reason he has the backing of the military is because they
too have their snouts in the trough.
It is in their vested self-interest to insure that they are
not exposed, hence they do not fight because they are loyal
to Mugabe, they suppress their own people because they do not
want to be caught.
