Robert Mugabe!

Talk about not wanting to just give in!

He's obviously been beaten in the polls in Zimbabwe, and yet he hangs on to power just that little bit longer, I mean why bother? If he just leaves, they may not even exile him.

I imagine he probably doesn't want to die alone in Saudi like Amin did years after he was forced out of Uganda.

His regime has been a terrible injustice on an economy which wasn't exactly healthy before he came to power and is now almost beyond repair. Britain, credit where credit is due, have offered an aid package of £1 billion providing he is removed from power first, but to be honest this is the biggest guilt payment I've seen in ages, if they hadn't sanctioned and helped the minority white government to bully the black people for so long then they wouldn't have voted in such a controversial figure as their President.

As far as the European Union were concerned, the biggest threat Mugabe posed was to Travellers, not to the many people killed under his regime, so no action was ever taken to try and remove him from power. His open hatred of Homosexuals and his virtuoso rascist ranting was enough to warrant sanctions from America and The EU, but not his orchestration of random murders of white farmers, or at the very VERY least, his tolerance of these acts.

Let's hope he moves out of the Presidential Palace imminently, and without incidents of violence.
