Pictures From Zimbabwe Say a Thousand Words.

All it took were two picures from British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to call the G8 community into action against the brutal regime in Zimbabwe. After showing the G8 summit two pictures of Joshua Bakacheza, an opposition activist whose body was found on Saturday beaten to death, calls for sanctions were immediately put forward. It's amazing how all the stories of brutality in recent weeks didn't call the world to action as much as just two photographs did.

  • as you said, pictures speak a thousand words. I am surprised too. I grew up in Botswana and remember the slow trickle of Zimbabweans leaving for Botswana and South Africa many years ago. Mugabe has always had some strife during his years of political rule. This is something new because now the world knows about it and its on a higher level of brutality than before-personally I think the man has Alziehemers. All the classic symptoms-feeling the world is against him, feeling that he has enemies all around him, that he is being watched, that he is a benevolent person, ...then make him the President of a country, with a military and see how he can live out his dillusions and massacre people.
