Peace is always the bravest option.

A shocking revelation - ordinary Zimbabweans have always believed it is only Mugabe who is enemies with the EU and the rest of the developed world.
The general belief is that the West will come to the people's rescue anytime as long as they revolt against Mugabe.We have always believed the West is friends with the majority and wishes to see an improvement in our lives.
Zimbabwe has been through an almost similar case with Kenya,whereby about 20 000 people were butchered in a so-called Gukurahundi Massacre - we know the experience,we dread it and we know by engaging in such type of revolt,we are but only killing ourselves and not Mugabe hence we have taken all his excesses lying down.It is not out of fear that we havent taken to the streets.It is not out of fear that our leaders havent engaged in violent demonstrations.But is is out of an understanding that it is only harmful to us as a people and not Mugabe - a lesson learnt in the past.It will be unfortunate if we forget that in the oncoming election.
Peaceful voting to all Zimbabweans.And let us all pray that our prayers be answered and Mugabe takes it like a man would.
