Mugabe and the Diamond mine; A story of death and greed
It is like I said in my last post, why does Zimbabwe cry for money from the western countries when it has a diamond mine that could enable the country to raise $200m a month. Thank you Human Rights Watch for calling attention to the death that has occurred in Zimbabwe's diamond mine. Mugabe is a cold hearted evil man whose soldiers he so desperately needed, systematically took over the mines to give Mugabe access to the riches the mine has afforded.
Now it is quoted that the minister in the unity government is saying "soldiers will be withdrawn in "phases". The army claims it descended on the gold fields to prevent illegal mining but rights groups claim they were involved in forced labor and an alleged massacre of diamond diggers. An investigation is currently underway to investigate the allegations of abuse.
Only time will tell if Mugabe does what is needed to help the country fight back from poverty by using the diamond fields to pave the way to a better future.

Does Zimbabwe really need China's money?
How can Zimbabwe be rising from the economic collapse when death is all around and children are being forced to be slaves for the soldiers of the ZANU PF party? When soldiers in helicopters using mounted machine guns shoot panners in the fields of Marange. Tsvangirai and the MDC are trying to convince Western donors that Zimbabwe is improving and Mugabe can be trusted. How can Mujuru's daughter attempt to sell uncertified gold and diamonds on the international market in Spain? Mujuru is a senior ZANU PF official and Zimbabwe's vice president and is a major stakeholder in the field. Why are Tsvangirai and Mugabe not setting right the diamond mine and using the money to help their own country. Why should only those in power get rich and the poorest in the country have nothing but misery, rape, torture, death, and child slave labor? Mugabe needs to see the blood on his hands and turn the black hatred in his heart to helping his own people stand up and be proud once more for Zimbabwe.
