December 1, 2008 (LPAC)--Former South African President Thabo Mbeki issued
a scathing attack against the Movement for a Democratic Change
(MDC-T) under the leadership of its president Morgan Tsvangirai,
and its secretary-general Tendai Biti, for sabotaging efforts led
by the South African Development Community (SADC) to bring into
existence a functioning unity government in Zimbabwe, that could
begin to restore essential services necessary for the very
existence of the Zimbabwean people. Mbeki in his capacity of
appointed Facilitator by SADC to resolve the government crisis in
Zimbabwe, correctly exposed in his letter of last weekend, that
the MDC leadership is more concerned in pleasing "their external
supporters" in the West, i.e. Great Britain and the United
States, than providing for the welfare of the people they claim
to represent.

In language rarely seen in diplomatic missions, Mbeki
exposed the lack of patriotism displayed by the MDC's Tsvangirai
and Biti to prevent a SADC-backed agreement to have the
Zimbabwean Parliament vote up Amendment 19, which would codify in
the constitution, the new Global Political Agreement to form an
Inclusive Government coalition made up of the ruling Zanu-PF, and
the MDC-T, and MDC-M opposition. After previously signing a
power-sharing arrangement for the new government, which includes
co-managing the Ministry of Home Affairs, Tsvangirai is reneging
on the agreement, under instructions from his British external
supporters, and thereby knowingly acting to increase the
suffering of the Zimbabwean population.

Mbeki wrote in letter to Tsvangirai:

``The MDC-T, like other Zimbabwe parties, must, within an
Inclusive Government, take responsibility for the future of
Zimbabwe, rather than see its mission as being a militant critic
of President Mugabe and Zanu-PF ... All that is required is that
you, the leaders of the people of Zimbabwe should do what you
have committed yourselves to do, and that is all!... Zimbabwe
urgently needs precisely, the agreed Inclusive Government to
rebuild the State machinery of Zimbabwe, enable it to meet the
needs of the people, overcome the current social- economic
crisis, end the threat of explosion or implosion of Zimbabwe.

``What the people of Zimbabwe, our region and Africa now
need is the sense of patriotism among yourselves as leaders of
the pole of Zimbabwe and as African patriots, which will inspire
you, despite and beyond personal and partisan interests, to
implement the agreements you have concluded.

` `Realistically, Zimbabwe will never share the same
neighborhood with countries of Western Europe and North America,
and therefore secure it success on the basis of friendship with
these, and contempt for the decisions of its immediate African
neighbors. I say this humbly to advise that it does not help
Zimbabwe, nor will it help you as Prime Minister of Zimbabwe
[Tsvangirai], that the MDC-T contemptuously repudiates the very
serious decisions of our region, and therefore our continent,
describing them [the SADC agreements for a new government] as `a
nullity.'

``It may be that, for whatever reason, you consider our
region and continent as being of little consequence to the future
of Zimbabwe, believing that other farther away in Western Europe
and North America, are of greater importance. In this context I
have been told that because leaders in our region did not agree
with you on some matters that served on the agenda of the SADC
Extraordinary Summit meeting, you have denounced them publicly as
`cowards.'

``Such manner of proceeding might earn you prominent media
headlines. However, I assure you that it will do noting to solve
the problems of Zimbabwe. As you secure applause because of
insult against us that we are `cowards,' you will have to
consider the reality that our peoples have accepted into our
countries very large numbers of Zimbabwean brothers and sisters
in the spirit of human solidarity, prepared to sustain the
resultant obligations. None of our countries displayed
characteristics of cowardice when they did this.''

Mbeki's refreshingly, blunt comments come from a knowledge,
shared among some African leaders, of the role that the British,
and their agent George Soros, through his Open Society Institute
and its various threats to orchestrate regime changes throughout
Sub-Saharan Africa. It is time to say, and should now be said,
that after approximately 120 years since Cecil Rhodes began his
exploits in Southern Africa, George Soros has become the new face
of British Imperialism in Africa.
