MUGABE DESERVES NO HONOUR!!!

He harms himself, who does harm to another, and the evil plan is most harmful to the planner or the man who denies peace and freedom to another man deserveth not for himself. It is of common knowledge that Mr Mugabe has no honour and to assume otherwise, will be a mockery to all Zimbabwean people, we applaud the actions of the Canadian Government.
Indeed, we need to be brutally frank on the diagnosis of the Zimbabwe problems before we tease out prescriptions. There must be no sacred cows as we seek for solutions to the Zimbabwe problems. We need to revisit our national history that gave birth to Zimbabwe and isolate the progressive cultures and values while critiquing the negative tendencies, before launching ourselves into an understanding of the murky present with to try and forecast into a dignified future for Zimbabwe. The decision by the United Nations World Tourism Office (UNWTO) to select Robert Mugabe as an ambassador for tourism continues to be criticised, with Canada now withdrawing from the body in protest. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Thursday the ‘appointment’ of Mugabe as an international tourism ambassador was what led to the withdrawal. Baird said it was the “last straw” for Canada's participation in the UNWTO. There is need for a sober but critical reflection on the core elements of a relevant past that gave birth to Zimbabwe; the murky present and the mysterious future of this great Southern African nation that is at stake.The murky present is locked in a series of debilitating contests pitting:

# Forces of progress against those of both puppetry and tyranny concealed under bastardised ideologies of democracy and nationalism respectively,

# Angry victims of violence and terror seeking justice and accountability against a terrified political-military leadership fearful of leaving public offices because of active participation in violence and massacre of fellow citizens,

# The terrified, hungry, impoverished, oppressed citizenry against a brutal and selfish elite cabal engaged in naked primitive accumulation ala colonialism and which has elevated itself to an alpha and omega leadership of Zimbabwe that only God can remove from power,

# Forces of global imperial designs ever ready to sustain Euro-American hegemony against pan-African solidarity seeking to propel Africa into a dignified global space,

# Forces of progressive decoloniality against those of reactionary neo-colonialism/neo-liberalism;

# Forces in favour of devolved power and governance structure against old-time forces of centrism informed by imperial Westphalian and Berlin Consensus thought,

# Forces of narrow ethnicity, clannism, regionalism, tribalised nationalism against inclusive, civic and pan-Zimbabwean nationalism,

# Forces of traditionalism, masculinism/dodaism and patriarchy against femininity and wamanism,
# Forces of gerontocracy against ‘born-frees’ and the future leaders of Zimbabwe.

Canada had already signalled a year ago that it intended to withdraw from the UNWTO. But an Order in Council is required to formalise any such notice period. "After (minister Baird) heard that (Mugabe) was honoured at an event, after he was invited to join this global leaders group, he signed the Order in Council almost immediately," said Baird’s spokesman Joseph Lavoie.  "They were legitimising him by enlisting Mugabe to promote tourism," Lavoie said, adding: "In our view that makes him a small 'a' ambassador."
The UN body has insisted that Mugabe has not been an awarded an official title, saying it does not run an ‘ambassadorial’ programme. But critics continue to view the decision to choose Zimbabwe as the co-host country for the UNWTO’s 2013 General Assembly as an indirect endorsement of the Mugabe regime. Political analyst and former Zimbabwean diplomat Clifford Mashiri said the UN’s credibility is in doubt over this move, adding that ZANU PF “likely feels endorsed and that it hasn’t done anything wrong in terms of human rights.”
