Perhaps, our Sheikh, Sheikh Adelabu has said it all during his last Friday lecture when a Zimbabwean revert Muslim asked him about the situations of Zimbabwe. The West African scholar of Arabic, Islamic, and International relations said – and i quote – that: “Whenever, there is a problem between an African politician and other African politician, it’s better and more beneficial that every measure is taken to distance the non-Africans especially those with long history of double standard and counter-interests. Africa’s problems today, according to Sheikh Adelabu who calls on individual to total submission to the Creator, are better solved by the Africans.

It’s of course obvious the West, especially the United Kingdom and the United States have history of hostilities with Mugabe. Therefore, any solution to Zimbabwe’s problems to come from these two former slave traders, imperialists, and colonial master may not be – if appropriate – all free from self-serving interests and arrogance.
