Recently i have noticed with delight the way media hypocrisy and the information war have been exposed, it has shown the world that not everything they see in the news is the truth. This has emboldened me to finally speak up.
The world condemned and literally forgot about Zimbabwe as we were placed under an illegal sanction regime, with full un-obscured intent to influence regime change, much like Russia is facing now. They claim that the sanctions are targeted and only affect those on the list, this is simply untrue and has resulted in a series of humanitarian disasters because even those who wished to help, were bullied into submission.
Zimbabwe, as reported has a human rights problem, but it is no more as pronounced as that which has been exposed in Israel or in the U.S. Like any other country we excel in some areas and fail in others. Noone is proud of our failings and we work to improve ourselves. Most people think that the Government of Zimbabwe represents us as a people, but in truth we view them more as the guys we give the job of "dealing with everything else".
As many of the politically aware already know, Zimbabwe thus far has shocked the world by 1) Not falling into civil war, 2) Not becoming a failed state. This is mainly because as a people, we suffer/enjoy some key elements that have changed the way we view the world and how we respond to foreigners. While your media and leadership demonized us and our "leadership"
, our media and "leadership" returned the favor. No matter what VOA said, we were on the receiving end of this and the truth was in the pudding. We began to resort to methods long employed by nations like Cuba who have also been forced to their knees for refusing imperial hegemony.
