AU treads softly on Zimbabwe

They're not going to do anything. When Mugabe dies maybe something will change, maybe nothing will change.

Hopefully He dies 2morrow. Again the AU has shown to be a useless organisation. Blacks just cannot manage Africa. Cannot wait until Mbeki gets replaced-his quiet diplomacy has fawked up Southern Africa even more. Well done Africans

One black cannot criticise another black, hey this would be a breach of the black club's rules....

air_rage...don't get ahead of yourself. Remember the guy replacing Mbeki is He Who Cannot Be Named...

The purpose of the AU is to get money for the personal wealth of the people who organized it. There's no money to be made in Zimbabwe, that's why the AU won't do anything.

We wish!
I think we will find that should Mugabe croak, the generals will take charge....I think they are already ' the power behind the throne '

But there is criticism......not perhaps, a strong condemnation, but for the first time, some of the other nations are speaking out.

The AU, UN and SADC are all pathetic - well we all knew nothing would come of it - nothing ever does!! Looks like a person can break every rule in their book and still be accepted at their
conferences - unbelievable they are all a farce
as far as I am concerned - have double standards all of them!!!

Yes. One standard for blacks and one for everybody else.

Not really a concerted voice, but more of a very reserved and polite whisper, a faint murmuring like the stirring wind of the Gukurahundi blowing the chaff away, if you don't listen you never hear it, but then, was it ever there???.

Oh yeah, blacks have the flexible standard, the rule of variable fact,the denial of their own words and an avoidance of reality....
What would Lewis Carroll have made of this amazing black race, what fantasies akin to Alice in Wonderland could he have woven around the deceit and, arrogance and utter indifference of the black races.

The AU was formed to receive monies for the people who formed it. It reflects the general corrupution of the African continent.
