Who is talking left walking right?

Mugabe has declared war on the people of the world, writes Grace Kwinjeh. To me it sounds a little bit exaggerated as do other statements in .

However, she is right when she writes that the Mugabe government until 1998 was considered amongst the highest-performing of World Bank and International Monetary Fund clients. And the Zimbabwean government did pay back $205 million in hard currency in 2006 to the IMF and more recently $700,000 or so to the African Development Bank. If Mugabe also flirted with the US military for many years, I don’t know. But in that case, this courtship now has been harshly turned down by the attended.

Kwinjeh paints a somber picture of the developments in Zimbabwe but forget to tell us what really happened when this development sat in.

In 1998 Zimbabwe broke with the IMF and Western-sponsored developmental paths, paths apparently spurned by Kwinjeh, and tried to enter a more homemade one. No doubt, it is has been an arduous pathway with a lot of potholes and blemishes but to blame all the present malice in Zimbabwe on the government may be an elopement. T

The introduction of Kwinjeh’s article promises an analysis of Zimbabwe through regional, African and global capitalism. But she fails grossly to tell us about how the forces of global capitalism are working against Zimbabwe today. The West has been heavily investing in regime change in Zimbabwe lately, through sanctions and its docile media, sometimes referred to as the “free press” or “independent media”. In what way FOX, CNN and BBC are independent is beyond me, but those media paint the same one-sided and ominous picture of Zimbabwe as do Kwinjeh.

In my opinion it is Kwinjeh who is “talking ultraleft” while at the same time “walking right” more than the government of Zimbabwe.
