PS: Look out for further deliberations/actions around the proposed BRICS Devt. Bank set for March 26th in RSA. If the IMF/WB/IFC were creations post-World War 2, then hail the BRICS Bank of the global economic make-up of today & the future. Let's play...

Some are unable see, some refuse to see. I am reminded of high school, it is like trying to teach algebra to a fellow classmate who has absolutely no aptitude for mathematics. After a while all you can do is sympathise knowing full well the 2 maths papers in KCSE will nail him to the wall.
Or like the case of Esther Arunga. We all gaped in horror and wondered, still wonder, what the hell is she doing? She can't see, caught in a catalysmic hurricane of emotions and euphoria.
It is the righteous indignation of the innocent, childlike, because of lack of understanding. This is not a fight for freedom. Do not be deceived. We are as free as we are gonna get. We don't have wealth and resources, they do. The only way we can be freer is to ensure that they need us more than we need them. Or at least they need us badly enough. This is not the case currently.
Everyday, we are cornered and subjugated by people, corporations and other entities that have more than us, or have something that we want or need. Our spouses and fiances talk down to us, we take crap from our bosses, we take crap from customers, we take crap from our MPs. We have a veiled threat hanging over our heads, so some are shaking to the boots in rage, or deluding themselves we might escape consequences, thinking there some sort of justice will swoop down and stop the west from inflicting pain on us.
Anyone who has something you want or need has power over you. Simple. This is the way of power. Those with power write the rules. Understand the nature of this imbalance of power between us and them and it will begin to become apparent the futility of railing against them. Chest thumping does not give you power. Having choices does not give you power. If a stone wall is erected in your path it is senseless to beat it with your bare fists, though you are welcome to try. The wise pick their fights.
So kids, try and learn algebra, even if it is boring and unpalatable, because the maths paper is compulsory, and because ignoring it will muck up your overall grade.

^ & yes, ZANU-PF (The National & Peoples Party) is most likely to floor MDC big-time. (Tyranny of numbers). Lastly & personally, I don't think I have the patience & or time to learn Mandarin & any such other language other than English. Where we'd expect that common sense prevailed that we can communicate well with the West & thus, maintain each others relevance economically (coz of POLITICS, WTF?) in SSA, I just don't understand. SMH

so sovereignty is edible.cos me and my fellow employees at my workplace are still waiting to be educated on sovereignty recipes COS the sanctions threats have Already started to bite.and retrenchments are REAL

Well! well! i am learning some new things from you......by the way, just a few days ago someone thought he could buy Zimbabwe after he learnt that the country had 217 dollars left in it's accounts after paying civil servants. And someone else told him not to be in a hurry coz Kenya will come much cheaper after the elections. What are your thoughts on that?

@josi Zimra like KRA collects revenue/taxes for GoZ thus, what Biti was refn to was the Public Account not the economy. In a creative bid to ask for donor funding for referendum & elections (like Kenya) it was blown out of proportion.

It's amazing how the catalysts behind this elections have evolved over time.

Now it the "colonialists" vs "us". Talk of propaganda

These recent political developments have exposed the soft underbelly of this country -we are actually multiple countries within one country in various ways.

Our country can be divided based on social status(Rich vs Poor), tribal affiliations (5 large tribes), demographics(age).

For those who lean towards Uhuru/Ruto, they could care less of strained international relations. According to them, they have nothing to loose.

Sure enough, we do not have to stoop to anyone but then again the pride and arrogance being shown does not match our nation's ability to stand on it's own. The fact is, we are not there yet.

It is not the time for chest thumping yet, there are other countries in the region that are coming up really fast and a small stumble of five years will see dynamics in the region change significantly.

Kenya is not a banana republic. Who owns the flower, tea and coffee farms, the holiday and game resorts? Is it not their cousins and their relatives who refused to pack their bags and call themselves Kenyans today? Will Tullow and Africa Oil withdraw from exploring oil in Turkana? Will Base titanium give up exploration in Kwale etc? The truth of the matter is they walk out the Chinese check in. The reason baba was focused on looking for markets in the Middle East and Asia was to avoid hii panganga.

If you haven't noticed, the sanctions have started...dint they ban miraa? Refuse to pay KDF its dues? How long shall we lick their boots? But notice they cant keep off our markets, because what is to come is very enticing.
