It's Time To Extract Mugabe
If a western head of state had acted even half as horrifically as Zimbabwe's unelected ruling tyrant, Robert Mugabe, international forces would have extracted them from power and brought them before the UN criminal courts long ago. Zimbabwe is on the brink of total collapse. There is no drinkable water, as Mugabe's military has seized control of water sources and stopped chlorination. 80% of schools are closed. The cholera epidemic has already killed hundreds, affected thousands, and worldwide health organizations estimate millions could die. Mugabe has retracted every compromise he has ever agreed to with the actually elected ruling party, Movement for Democratic Change. Meanwhile, potent African neighboring governments are sitting by silent while activists are disappearing. Zimbabwe's highest court has ordered police to search for these missing activists, which will result either in nothing, or their deaths, as Mugabe has an iron-fisted control of the police. Mugabe also claims the cholera epidemic is contained, which is an obvious lie. How much longer can the people of Zimbabwe wait? And what is anyone afraid of? It's time to remove Mugabe from power, by force if he cannot be convinced to resign.
