How long are they and the international community going to wait? http://www.thezimbabwemail.com/Opinion/1267.html Opinion Mon, 05 Jan 2009 21:59:00 +0000 OPINION - Like a twisted fairy tale whose pages never seem to end, Zimbabwe seems incapable of reaching bottom. Last month, a cholera epidemic swept the country, killing at least 700 people thus far -- and probably far more, since most Zimbabweans prefer to die at home than in their country's decrepit hospital rooms, bare of supplies or workers. http://www.thezimbabwemail.com/Opinion/1266.html Opinion Mon, 05 Jan 2009 21:47:00 +0000 OPINION - On the start of 2009, the world seems dauntingly unstable. The Western industrial economies face perhaps several years of zero growth in the worst crisis of capitalism since the Great Depression. While the economies of rising Asian giants like India and China will still grow, they, too, face severe challenges as their industrial output slows and they deal with workers' protests in this global crisis. http://www.thezimbabwemail.com/Opinion/1265.html Opinion Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:21:00 +0000 OPINION - As Zimbabwe limps agonisingly into 2009, there is one immediate question which the MDC has to answer; will they join the still notional government of national unity, or not? Morgan Tsvangirai stated that unless well-known activists Jestina Mukoko and other civil society and opposition figures are released, he will ask the MDC's national council to suspend negotiations. http://www.thezimbabwemail.com/zimbabwe/1264.html Zimbabwe Mon, 05 Jan 2009 19:49:00 +0000 JOHANNESBURG - There are reports that the top leadership of the MDC, including its transition team and party strategists, will meet in Johannesburg for three days this week to decide whether to continue or back-off from talks to join a unity government. http://www.thezimbabwemail.com/zimbabwe/1263.html Zimbabwe Mon, 05 Jan 2009 16:53:00 +0000 Harare - A High Court judge has ordered that a prominent peace activist, Jestina Mukoko accused of plotting to overthrow the country's ageing 84 year Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe must receive medical attention before the case proceeds. http://www.thezimbabwemail.com/Opinion/1262.html Opinion Mon, 05 Jan 2009 09:18:00 +0000 OPINION - WHEN I hear people talking about putting pressure on the regime in Harare they often express concern about the impact on the ordinary men and women living in the country. No such sentiments are in fact heard as grass roots level – in fact quite the opposite, ordinary people are the most vociferous in their view that the MDC must not enter into any sort of deal with Zanu-PF as a junior partner.
