Zimbabwe opposition leader vows to continue struggle



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

It's difficult to say if Morgan Tsvangirai is the person to lead Zimbabwe out of the current ruined state and dictatorship, but this guy is tough as nails. Beaten up by the police, leaving him with head injuries, knee injuries and a broken arm, Tsvangirai is not backing down despite continued threats of violence by Mugabe, Zimbabwe's dictator. The US has voiced its criticism and little else though what is most disappointing is that the best the African Union can offer is that they find the situation "embarrassing" and "uncomfortable". I understand the baggage of neo-colonialism but taking a stand against such violence and brutality is not a great leap. It's the right thing to do. The US should look into how it can constructively work with the AU on issues such as Zimbabwe because it is in everyones best interest to peace and prosperity across the continent.
