this has nothing to do with colonialism ... that ended 30 years ago. It has to do with the powerful nations in the world looking out for their best interests - human nature?? The world is such at present that no country allows another to get on with it on their own ... so ... something should be done. I am a Zimbabawean and am tired of all the talk and no action. Hopes get raised only to be dashed again and again. but then again, who really cares what happens in a relatively small nation? and that really is the crux, Zim has nothing to offer these super powers...
