Take cover! Mugabe’s been stripped of his honorary knighthood. Wow. I bet he’s crying into his pillow. Meanwhile Tesco confirm that they won’t stop doing business with Zimbabwe and Anglo American have decided to continue with their multi-million dollar investment in platinum mining. And Odinga, outspoken fellow that he is, while calling for the isolation of Zimbabwe, hasn’t suggested imposing any sanctions or stopping any trade, any time soon. Well, actually any time at all really.

Beleaguered Zimbabweans are not short of words of comfort. What we need is brave decisive action from international and regional individuals, organisations and governments interested in the restoration of law and order in Zimbabwe. Perhaps Odinga could withdraw Kenya’s diplomatic presence in Zimbabwe and shut their embassy here. Or perhaps Kenya Airways will refuse to fly into the eye of Zimbabwe’s dictatorship?

Until words meet action on the part of so-called concerned well wishers, Zimbabwe will remain the personal playground of Mugabe.
