Zimbabwe at War
By Stephen Gowans
This is a war between revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries; between
nationalists and quislings; between Zimbabwean patriots and the US and
Britain.
Should an election be carried out when a country is under sanctions and it
is has been made clear to the electorate that the sanctions will be lifted
only if the opposition party is elected? Should a political party which is
the creation of, and is funded by, hostile foreign forces, and whose
program
is to unlatch the door from within to provide free entry to foreign powers
to establish a neo-colonial rule, be allowed to freely operate? Should the
leaders of an opposition movement that takes money from hostile foreign
powers and who have made plain their intention to unseat the government by
any means available, be charged with treason? These are the questions that
now face (have long faced) the embattled government of Zimbabwe, and which
it has answered in its own way, and which other governments, at other
times,
and have answered in theirs.
