Is Robert Mugabe taking the mickey out of Morgan Tsvangirai?

Otherwise how can he invite the same Tsvangirai he forced to withdraw from the election run-off through violence, to his inauguration?

Morgan Tsvangirai, the leader of Zimbabwe’s opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), has rejected a government invitation to the inauguration of President Robert Mugabe for a new term of office and has called on Africa not to recognise his ‘re-election’.

“Well, you know that the whole inauguration is meaningless as far as I’m concerned, so I can’t give support to an exercise I’m totally opposed to……the whole world has condemned it, the Zimbabwean people will not give this exercise legitimacy and support,” said Tsvangirai.

Meanwhile Morgan Tsvangirai has also said he is committed to a negotiated settlement to the country’s political crisis.

Tsvangirai said, “There are no talks going on, but the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) remains committed to finding a negotiated settlement for the people of Zimbabwe. We are putting it into the hands of the AU (African Union), I hope that from then on, a process can be put in place that is acceptable to both parties.”

Zimbabwe’s future maybe in the hands of other African leaders, but will Africa do enough now to influence events in Zimbabwe? At the coming African Union summit in Egypt we will see if we can trust African leaders to solve the crisis in Zimbabwe.

We are going to see who are the real enemies of the people of Zimbabwe. All those who are waiting to send congratulation messages to Robert Mugabe on his ‘election’ as president of Zimbabwe for another five-year term of office.

All those leaders who are going to attend Mugabe’s inauguration are also part of the problems affecting the people of Zimbabwe today through their continued support of Robert Mugabe. Getting rid of Mugabe is the only answer to Zimbabwe’s problems.
