Image via WikipediaChristopher Hitchens, writing in Slate.com reviews my old school mate Peter Godwin's book 'The Fear'.More about the seemingly endless last days of Robert Mugabe.
Written before the last election that resulted in a so-called 'power sharing' with Morgan Tsvangirai MDC, it updates '...the continuing story of popular resistance.'
Unfortunately all hope of a Zimbabwean 'Jasmine' revolution inspired by the current 'Arab Spring' revolts will not lead to any revolutionary winds of change but, as Hitchen's says:
'One day, the civic resistance to this, which was often looked-down upon by people considering themselves revolutionary, will earn the esteem and recognition it deserves.'
One day Boss Robert will be blown away...one day.
