The death of Libya`s dictator Muammar Gaddafi has convincingly demonstrated that no one is safe, you might have been in the thrown for so many decades with all the money but one day your airtime might run out. Gaddafi`s occasion has sparked reality to so many people leading them to realise that they is no one above the law. On the other hand the death of Gaddafi has made it hard for other dictators like Mugabe to peacefully relinquish power, while also complicating efforts to encourage autocrats in other parts of the world to peacefully step down. However in contracts to that this has given us the oppressed the opportunity to fight for our human rights and freedom.The Arab up spring has been a form of encouragement to a lot of people like me who had lost hope with the situation in Zimbabwe. From previous experience of the 2008 elections no one would like such history to reoccur. People still have trauma with all the beatings murder and human rights abuses that took place.The thought of it feels like yesterday of cause the wounds are still fresh and yet again Zimbabwe is due for fresh elections very soon. Despite Zanu pf calling for elections we all know the results of the out come. Its only gona be more dead bodies and human beings abused. Zanu PF`s history has seem to always repeat its self from the start of Gukurahundi to all the people who have been murdered, people turn to keep quite in fear cause they might be next. But that only buys you time for that moment , in actual fact you only getting closer to your turn were you will have to face the music on your own.The international community seem not to care at all on what’s going on in Zimbabwe, instead they seem to be concentrating more in countries with oil or were they can make a profit out of the situation. I wounder were everybody was during the massacares of Gukurahundi. when people in Matebeleland were being murdred tortured and abused.Supriceingly the world stood and did nothing, instead a few years down the line Mugabe was awarded a knighthood by Great Britain. it also baffles me that during that time Mugabe was deemed to be the Nelson Mandelaof Africa,with all the blood on his hands nobody seemed to care, i suppose the day Zimbabwe discovers oil somebody out there will be willing to help
