War Games

Those who say that Robert Mugabe(President of Zimbabwe, Africa) is an ape, an animal, fail to respect his intelligence, owning 7 degrees in various studies, and his motivation, imprisoned for 11 years and still grieving from the loss of his four-year-old son. The game is mind control however, a political game played by every political regime to some degree. Remember...he has supporters, and many are largely uneducated I'm sure, since nowadays hardly 20% of the children in Zimbabwe can even AFFORD to attend school. The United States as a majority is not so high and mighty in comparison, as most voters don't even understand
HOW government works, we just punch the holes in the card according to who's speeches
we liked the most, filtered through the mediators of course.

A Chinese cargo ship believed to be carrying 77 tonnes of small arms, including more than 3m rounds of ammunition, AK47 assault rifles, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades, has docked in the South African port of Durban for transportation of the weapons to Zimbabwe, the South African government confirmed yesterday. It claimed it was powerless to intervene as long as the ship's papers were in order.
Copies of the documentation for the Chinese ship, the An Yue Jiang, show that the weapons were sent from Beijing to the ministry of defence in Harare. Headed "Dangerous goods description and container packing certificate", the document was issued on April 1, three days after Zimbabwe's election. It lists the consignment as including 3.5m rounds of ammunition for AK47 assault rifles and for small arms, 1,500 40mm rockets, 2,500 mortar shells of 60mm and 81mm calibre, as well as 93 cases of mortar tubes.
The carrier is listed as the Cosco shipping company in China.
South Africa's national conventional arms control committee issued a permit on Monday for the trans-shipment of the cargo from Durban to Harare. The head of government information in South Africa, Themba Maseko, said yesterday: "We are not in a position to act unilaterally and interfere in a trade deal between two countries." South Africa had to "tread very carefully", given the complexity of the situation in Zimbabwe, Maseko said.
South Africa was not encouraging the purchase of weapons by Zimbabwe, he said, pointing out that there was no UN trade embargo against that country.shipment of the cargo from Durban to Harare.
