Zimbabwe's Unity Government has suffered what might be a fatal blow at the hands of President Robert Mugabe.
Zimbabwe's Unity Government has suffered what might be a fatal blow at the hands of President Robert Mugabe.

According to the Movement for Democratic Change, President Robert Mugabe has stripped effective power from three ministries and given them to ZANU-PF ministers.

The decision, which was made alone by Mugabe, is being seen as an effort to encourage the MDC to quit the unity government.

The move appears to violate the political agreement which brought the unity government into power in September 2008.

MDC officials have said Mugabe does not have the right to make unilateral alterations to the government, especially in a matter as serious as changing government ministers.

Mugabe changes unity government ministers

Zimbabwe really is a basket case. I doubt that anything constructive could be done to help that country so long as Mugabe retains any form of power.

Nigeria has got real problems also

JOS, Nigeria: UN chief Ban Ki-moon appealed Monday for maximum restraint amid revulsion at the slaughter of more than 500 Christians in Nigeria, as survivors told how the killers chopped down their victims.

Funerals began taking place for victims of the three-hour orgy of violence on Sunday in three Christian villages close to the northern city of Jos, blamed on members of the mainly Muslim Fulani ethnic group.

While troops were deployed to the villages to prevent new attacks, security forces detained 95 suspects but faced bitter criticism over how the killers were able to go on the rampage at a time when a curfew was meant to be in force.

Newspapers reported that Muslim residents of the villages in Plateau state had been warned by phone text message, two days prior to the attack, so they could make good their escape before the exit points were sealed off.

Survivors said the attackers were able to separate the Fulanis from members of the rival Berom group by chanting nagge!, the Fulani word for cattle. Those who failed to respond in the same language were hacked to death.

One local paper said the gangs shouted Allah Akhbar before breaking into homes and setting them alight in the early hours of Sunday. Churches were among the buildings that were burned down.

we have heard it all.

I am a Zimbabwean who is suffering. Pointing a finger to Mugabe or Tsvangirai will never bring food on my table. Never ever.
