Mugabe Is Making A List

According to a report in The Standard, Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is making a list of his opponents to restrict their movement.

Mugabe's ZANU-PF party used its two-thirds parliamentary majority last week to approve changes that will allow the government to effectively nationalise formerly white-owned farms and impose travel bans on "traitors."

The privately owned Standard newspaper reported on Sunday the government was working on a list of politicians and human rights activists who will face travel sanctions.

The weekly, quoting official sources, said the list was being drawn up by ZANU-PF's information department led by former foreign affairs minister Nathan Shamuyarira.

So, it appears that Mugabe plans to prevent his political enemies from leaving the country and, thereby, have an opportunity to speak ill of him. And then, what happens in Zimbabwe, will stay in Zimbabwe. It's probably not unreasonable to predict that Mugabe will soon be making his opponents disappear.
