Also remember that the protests that we all witnessed on @AJEnglish et al were without precedent in the country's history. Political opposition was so oppressed in Egypt, in fact, that so much talent that would otherwise have gone into public service either fled the country for Europe/America/Elsewhere or went private sector, so they're having to dig deep to replace the established order.<br /><br />Ditto for Tunisia -- before the self-immolations, there was very little stirring of political opposition. Like you probably saw in the news, Ghannouchi who took over after Ben Ali has now stepped down, because the people don't see him as a change enough. They also have to dig deep, and hopefully among the protesters can emerge a political class that cares a damn about its people.<br /><br />I'm telling you not to give up hope on a revolution in Sub-Saharan Africa, a conclusion that I myself am dubious. Nigeria, where I'm from, could use a nice overthrow of the old guard, a calling of names and demanding that some former military actors no longer play a part in our politics. Alas, I don't see that as happening. <br /><br />It's important to know what can rouse people from the slumber of political apathy. But things have to change. I just have no idea how.Saratuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15444322081856808447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504879269502854130.post-27534447236446646702011-02-21T21:11:16.497+00:002011-02-21T21:11:16.497+00:00Portrait Of The 1985 Handsworth Riots - Pogus Caes...Portrait Of The 1985 Handsworth Riots - Pogus Caesar - BBC1 TV . Inside Out. <br /><br />Broadcast 25 Oct 2010.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey7ijaXv6UQ<br /><br />Birmingham film maker and photographer Pogus Caesar knows Handsworth well. He found himself in the centre of the 1985 riots and spent two days capturing a series of startling images. Caesar kept them hidden for 20 years. Why? And how does he see Handsworth now?. The stark black and white photographs featured provide a rare, valuable and historical record of the raw emotion, heartbreak and violence that unfolded during those dark and fateful days in September 1985.Sabinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504879269502854130.post-30048914512082768232011-02-05T23:35:57.561+00:002011-02-05T23:35:57.561+00:00Hey

Perhaps as a Malawian you might find parallels between Mugabe and Banda - he ruled Malawi for +30 years and it took an election to finally get rid of him. But there were reasons why he managed to crush dissent in Malawi as he had the support of the police, the army and secret police - same as Mugabe in Zim. <br /><br />I don't know how apathetic Malawians were but I can imagine that not having been as developed as other nations the poor may have felt this is as good as it gets because Banda could bribe them or guilt them into voting for him. Same thing Mugabe does with the rural population and that's the majority. <br /><br />If anything could have happened in the past it would've been led by the people in the towns but even then all opposition has been crushed with such ruthlessness that people think twice about rebelling.<br /><br />Also Mugabe has ensured that he'll never lose an election and the people can't or won't protest because the older generation (rural and urban) believe Zanu(& Zapu) gave them freedom so just as Mubarak is going hard on nostalgia and sympathy, Mugabe does well on anti-colonial liberation rhetoric. <br /><br />But also this post also shows apathy's a big part of it and for those that are doing well, legally or illegally will never give up what they have. People don't stand up for themselves because we're scared of chaos, nobody wants the violence as some of the speakers say in the post above. And if no violence means Mugabe's in charge then most are happy to go along with that. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.moneyweb.co.za/mw/view/mw/en/page299360?oid=528002&sn=2009+Detail&pid=287226" rel="nofollow">This comparison</a> between Zim and Egypt might also be worth reading. I agree with some of Trevor Ncube's views but for my own reasons I think he underestimates the potential power of the internet and the Diaspora. And also he thinks jobs and investment will give people more freedom, but I really don't think freedom can wait that long.KonWomynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244078092450908161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504879269502854130.post-68351795620293444672011-02-05T21:16:00.498+00:002011-02-05T21:16:00.498+00:00I think part of the problem is that enough people ...I think part of the problem is that enough people are getting by, dare I say thriving. For every person I know who is struggling to make ends meet, I know of someone making a small fortune in diamonds or something. As a Malawian, I have wondered for years why Zimbabweans don't rise up and topple Mugabe et al (and yes, it's not just one man, it's the cronies too) as we did with Banda. To me, Zim has so much more than we ever did. An infrastructure for starters! And so many resources, so much wealth in her people and her soil....compared to Malawi for instance. But I think that's the problem. There is so much, perhaps too much, and too many people who are inconvenienced by the current state of affairs but with enough wealth and influence for it not to hit too hard. But perhaps too, the memories of the 80s are too raw for the older generation? It seems like there is too much to lose, perhaps. But it's a shame. A lot is being lost now, as it is.Kirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10484637091989211705noreply@blogger.com
