I agree with scotchcart. We need to stay strong and work to do what we can. African countries are rallying, that’s important. Getting the UN on board is important. They all have their own problems so only personal contact works. A Divisive attitude doesn’t help anything. Can Kubatana print a cheap newsheet to get information to the people on the ground? No use waiting for others to do it?

Guys you are disappointed. You want a triumphant rally but it would be like Tiananmen square.

What is important now are transitional talks. It means cutting off the umbilical cord so we have to go to the table to talk. If we don’t do that, we will be voting again.

If you play chess, this is like the middle game. The beginning game is fun. The end game is exhilarating. The middle game can be boring. Getting into position to make the end game possible takes time and patience.

I am sure you are all doing your part. Tell the world via Kubatana. Don’t tell us security information of course. Tell us how you are sticking together and making a plan. We need cheering up too!
