Why the West won’t forgive Mugabe

The European Union last week extended sanctions on Zimbabwean leader President Robert Mugabe and 162 others.  It says these sanctions are aimed at the named individuals and entities and not the ordinary Zimbabweans. This is subject to debate which we do not intend to raise here. But as far as the West is concerned, Mugabe is evil. Here is why. And please let’s debate this. Feel free to challenge this story so that we can have debate issues because if Mugabe were to die today, because at 87 he can only live that long, sanctions on Zimbabwe and his colleagues will not be lifted immediately. The West will come up with all sorts of excuses.
