Food sent by American aid was seized from local Zimbabwe government. The food was suppose to go to poor poverty-stricken school children, in fact 26 primary schools where children only receive one meal a day. The food captured was instead passed out to supporters of Mugabe at a political rally.
This makes my blood boil. It really does. Dugger quotes, " “This government will stop at nothing, even starving the most defenseless people in the country — young children — to realize their political ambitions,” said the ambassador, James D. McGee, in an interview."
I am not political for the reason I'm afraid of never seeing the opponent's point of view. To maintain a healthy political awareness, one should always look at both sides of the argument. The only side I can see is the power thirst of Mugabe and his goons. What has this achieved him? There is no respectable victory in suspending food that will save the lives of innocent children. What accomplishment is there in that? You've made your point. Congratulations. You devastated children belonging to 26 primary schools.
One of the Zimbabwean truck drivers was stopped by authorities and accused of handing out bribes. What hypocrites! You accuse a good cause, seize them for what they have, and then proceed to act on that accusations you make! Why should children suffer for that! Zimbabwe has suffered enough in the hands of Mugabe.
