Dear Mr Robert Gabrielle Mugabe,
I write to you from the diaspora. I am sure you will find gratification in the fact that another one of your
citizens has fled from the country. I on the other hand, would like to inform you that i never ran away from
Zimbabwe and have every intention of returning. You have instilled a fear into the nation - people are more scared
of you than they are of Satan.
But I find peace in the fact that I doubt you sleep at night.I will be back- with
many Zimbabweans following me.
Operation Marabstivina? what were you thinking? I understand your logic of pushing people into the rural areas- but by
burning them out of their homes? how do you sleep at night knowing that more people have died in your country than
world famous pol-pot or the Rwandan genocide? How does it feel to be compared to hitler? You are not viewed by
the world as a human being anymore. You are now fitting into the category of one of the worlds most hated.
Zimbabwean death squad? is this how you want to be remembered? brainwashing, torturing, murdering your own people?
You were respected through out africa for opening the doors of independence to the rest of Africa- why did you have
to tarnish your legacy? We had the 5th literacy rate in the world- now 85% of your Zimbabwe is unemployed. Women
have the shortest mortality rate in the world. I am a Zimbabwean women. You are killing us.25% of all Zimbabweans
are in political or economic exile the biggest proportional mass movement of a population in peacetime ever in
modern history. Zimbabwe now has the highest number of orphans per capita in the world in excess of 1.6 million.
1 in 10 people in Matabeleland over the age of 30 are survivors of torture. 1 in 10 Zimbabweans now need
psychological help. The victimization of MDC leaders and activists has been ongoing and has intensified
since 11 March 2007, with provincial and local activists affiliated to the MDC being specifically targeted.
Victims of torture are being detained, denied access to medical attention and access to their lawyers
because of their political affiliation and are afraid to seek medical attention for fear of further beatings.
There is no food on the shelves, communications a joke, inflation is a joke, your government is a joke and you Mr President are an even
bigger joke.
Ordering weapons for war from china- why do you want to kill us? Can you not see how patiently we are waiting for
the results? We are peaceful people- you have destroyed what could have been good lives for us. You have raped us
of every opportunity that life could have granted us. You have burnt our homes, killed our families and stripped our
pride time and time again.
We have not once stood up in defense. So now why are you preparing to kill us? Stand
down take your fortunes and run for the hills. Are you not bored yet? We are tired. Tired of the struggle.
I am sure immunity for you and your cronies can be arranged. Go live somewhere else in luxury
just let Zimbabwe become a home again. A home where teachers can be teachers, writers can be writers, musicians
can be be musicians children can go to good schools, farms are productive, there is fuel in the station, there is
freedom of speech, food on the shelves, no inflation, children grow up climbing trees and watching the elephants on
their school fields, riding horses. We are all employed and free of you, your curse, your insensitive evil
regime- give us a chance to be alive again.
From the Diaspora
