I have wanted to sit down and write something during the past month and I had many things that I wanted to share, but I just felt that the moment was not right to write anything yet. I decided to sit and wait, wait for events to unfold. And unfold they did. Things happened. Al Bashir, president of Sudan, was warned of a heap of evidence against him by the International Criminal Court. After the warning came the actual warrant making him a fugitive. Rwanda and Congo finished out their joint operation against the FDLR rebels operating in Congo, and Rwanda followed on its promise to return its military forces back to Rwanda. Although the FDLR rebels deny this occured and claim that thousands of Rwandan troops are still active in the jungles of Nord Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Mugabe and Tsvangirai have also seemingly come close to form a government of unity which holds out hope for improvements in Zimbabwe. Lately, however, Mrs. Tsvangirai was fatally injured in a car accident that left him hospitalized. Some are crying foul, but what does it matter? An innocent life was taken in a terrible accident, or what seemed like an accident. Our prayers go to the Tsvangirai family.
What do all these developments mean for our mother land? Is there a way to arrest Bashir and bring him to justice for the atrocities in Darfur? Did Rwanda pull all of its resources out of Congo and end its profitable proxy occupation of mineral-rich East Congo? Did Mugabe seek to take out Tsvangirai himself in the accident?
