Zimbabweans ask for asylum as talks proceed
Canada News.Net
Wednesday 25th June, 2008
The countries surrounding Zimbabwe have urged the postponement of Friday's presidential election.
The call by a security group of southern African nations have said the re-election of President Robert Mugabe could lack legitimacy in the current violent climate.
A top negotiator from the neighbouring countries is now in Harare, mediating on election options, including postponement of the vote.
Mugabe has so far defied criticism by world leaders that the polls will have no credibility.
Zimbabwe's Electoral Commission ruled that last Sunday's withdrawal from the election by opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai had no legal force and the poll would go ahead.
Tsvangirai has called on the African Union, backed by the United Nations, to lead a transition in Zimbabwe.
Meanwhile, around 200 people claiming to be victims of political violence in Zimbabwe have gathered at the South African embassy in Harare seeking refuge, amid the political crisis in the country.
The group claimed they fled their homes in various parts of the country after they were attacked by Mugabe supporters.

If Mugabe can walk around as though nothing has happened, why did the world stand aghast with dropped jaws, when Hitler and Idi Amin were alive?

Sweden must learn from other nations and stop importing future civil wars with people of imcompatible coultures.america and other nations are in a continious coultural war.. huge sums needed for social programs nearly for a lifetime to aid emigrants and thier many offspring...political assylym is always the excuse that was used for foreigners who then sapped our nation and created war with our citizens..Europe especially England has lost thier heritage to Muslims who have high breeding rates...Sweden must stop importing more future trouble..

AHA...hmmmmmmmmm
Stop importing foreign cultures ...sounds good....but what about the impositions of foreign cultures in South America, Africa, Austrailia, Caribbean....etc.
Cultural change is an inherent byproduct of human mobility. Culture is either forced upon a people or willingly changed by a people.
I agree that at present, Islamic and African cultures create serious problems where migrants to first world regions refuse, or are unwilling to pay the price of integration.
It is harsh to say that, left alone ,Africans will kill each other or find some way to coexist. The same can be said for the Arabs and the Jews. But for the Sikhs, Muslims, Hindus etc, it should be a prerequirement of migration that they abandon practices and cultures that have so far failed to work.
