To me what the author has written looks like simple trash. Inciting the army to revolt and such.
Let us wait till the meeting of the African Union.He is ready to face others. Let us hear what Mr.Robert Mugabe has to say.

É um exemplo de que o povo está totalmente dissassociado e descrente de seus governantes. E o problema de escolher mau os seus dirigentes de suas nações, propalou para o mundo todo.

As pessoas sérias estão se omitindo cada vez mais e os irresponsáveis e corruptos ocupando sempre maior espaço e comprando consciencias com recursos do proprio povo.

O alerta deve ser geral e que o povo volte a decidir por melhores e competentes governantes. Nações Unidas , BIRD e FMI podem assumir um grande papel na reconciliação da sociedade com o que de melhor interessa ao Estado.

Good piece, unfortunately I don't think the Africans even have the balls to dis-invite him from the upcomming AU meeting in Cairo that Mugabe plans to attend. I say invite Tsvangirai in his place - that's sending him a real signal!

Well said, William Gumede! Great article.

Your invitation of African leaders against the present government in Zimbabwe is not fair and reveals your ignorance of nationalist aspirations which the President Mogabe is following.Robert Mogabe has refused to accept the pressure from British government to give up his decisions against the whites of Zimbabwe who own the large farms in that country, while the black citizens of the land are deprived of their rights to possess even the small spaces for cultivation.The oppostion leader Mr.Morgen who is following Gordon Brown's policy towards Zimbabwe has not really any support in that country because of his puppet stance for the Britts and is aware of the fact that there is not any chance for him in the present election, as the people of Zimbabwe are not willing to subject their country to be recolonized by LONDON.

This article is a unrealistic dream. The ANC have never accomplished anything and are one the sadest excuses on this planet. The absence of African Leaders to say or do anything speaks volumes of their inabilty to ever accomplish anything. The viewpoint in this article doesn't have a remote chance of ever happening.

This is the most constructive plan of action I've seen yet. Thank you for sharing this with the world. i pray that those with authority will execute on many of these ideas befre too much time is wasted.

This was an outstanding article, and I hope and pray Zimbabwe can make a peaceful transition. Although, I also have a horrible feeling that Mugabe will remain defiant, and military force may be recquired to remove him.

This is an excellent analysis which gives an intelligent, step-by-step way forward to end this horrible travisty of an election and help the poor Zimbabweans stuck in the middle. It's both forceful and fair. Now we just need for neighboring countries and specifically South Africa, to be as welcoming and supportive as possible, and to loudly proclaim the fact, to those Zimbabweans who may take temporary refuge in their countries while their own is in the transition phaze. Things will definitely get worse before they get better as Mugabe continues to act like a rat trapped in a corner. Which he literally is.

Your WEB site is very good.
My best whishes to you.
God luck

Dear Mr. Gumede,

Thank you for your insightful column. I hope that South Africa and the African Union in general will quickly take actions in the nature of sanctions and sending a peace-keeping force to Zimbabwe. I think you prescribe an essentially correct solution to the problems that the people of Zimbabwe face and I hope that my country (the U.S.) and other countries will provide any and all assistance requested of us to the African Union to take the necessary actions to bring peace and fair, free elections to Zimbabwe.
