Zimbabweans are accomplices to our own annihilation

TOP del.icio.us

As an advocate of civil disobedience, Henry David Thoreau asserted that it is basically criminal that one has got to pay money toward wars that he/she doesn’t support. It makes them accomplices to murder. Zimbabweans are a very perfect example of this view. People are paying taxes everyday to the government and in turn the fiscal allocations to our security bodies are being used to ferment torture and murder. Elections right now are fast approaching and apparently the Joint Operation Command has already pledged their allegiance to ZANU PF. Thoreau once said, ‘It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see’. I see the great nation of Zimbabwe being accomplices to their own annihilation. But still I pray for discernment in our leaders’ minds to look out for the people.
