African Union discredited over Mugabe?

Question

Has the African Union lost all credibility as they applauded Mugabe? I cannot personally believe they let him in... do you guys ever get the feeling that they are h**l bent on alienating the entire rest of the world against Africa? Who will suffer the most?- the ordinary African in my opinion.

Has Mugabe's malignant influence now gone beyond Zimbabwe and tarnished the whole of Africa?

Answer 1

yah i am also appualed by the AU's actions. Many African leaders want a dictatorship rule instead of a democracy, its all about greed and exploiting its people. Its a shame Africa is a great continent, just needs the right leaders.

Answer 2

What should they have done and what would that have achieved?

Answer 3

They had no credibility to begin with, just a bunch of houties playing at being human, African style.

Answer 4

You wanted mbeki to punch him or pull his balls. of course zim has a bleak future. while other countries in Africa are progressing e.g Nigeria 195 billion, Egypt 408 billion, SA 467billion, morrocco, 154,  nigeria 292, Kenya etc all these countries have revenue more than some western nations. Cyprus 36 bill, new zealand 111 billion, northern ireland 33 billion norway 291etc.  so the future is in their hands either they support a unity govt or fail and rot. i feel sorry for the white people in there. there population is est 10,000 - 100,000!

Answer 5

Yes! He has a case, none of them came to power without the same cohesion. As he is part of the old guard who ignited its umbrella in 1964. They have always seem him as the old skipper who stir the jokes to keep them barter for more Aid. With Elysee Palace denial to recognize him as the so called Head of State it will be the good choice to see with SADC withdrawal to see a point. Hardly see an early end WHY? Because none of them are making sense to him rather they are just sorry to see such a walk come to an end in shame. Africa Union Creditability should be the solution which could serve right to various parties that If you fool to citizens and deny them their rights we will jump you down. Also there is not much in Zimbabwe for his neighbors to risk that so called I will then you give me resources like in CONGO; During Late Kabila regime. One way or the other they will drop him to fetch proper Aid unless Them old guards jump back from their grave > Nkrumah, Selassie, Olympia, Nassar & CO.

Answer 6

As Chris says they never had any credibility in the first place and all that  has happened is that they have provided further evidence of the fact that they are a backward race unable to self govern.

Answer 7

I don't know if they had much choice but to let him in. He was the only person running. His opposition was eliminated.

Answer 8

They certainly have lost some credibility, not that they had too much to begin with.

I would however like to point out in the interest of fairness that a number of AU member nations  - such as South Africa and Egypt, have spoken out against Mr. Mugabe
