Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe addresses ZANU PF supporters in July 2007. African leaders may have to guarantee Mugabe immunity from prosecution and safeguard his wealth if they are to persuade him to step down, a top think-tank has said.(AFP/File/Desmond Kwande)
Give him a ‘Ceaucescu’ send-off.
Just a thought.
I don’t think he should be guaranteed anything other than a JDAM, special delivery.
” Mugabe may need guarantees to step down: ICG (keeps his spoils, gains immunity from prosecution) “
He’s just asking for the same deal Bill Clinton got....
How did this guy come to power again?
It is worth repeating.

Seems to me a bullet would be a much faster and cheaper solution.......
So, old Bobby wants to run away after what he has done and keep the spoils of the people he raped it from. I say all of it should go back into the treasury and he can go farm a little plot of land somewhere like everyone else’s piece of paradise there.
If he has any smarts he gets his ass over here pronto where he will be protected by Jessy, Al and the ACLU.
Just shoot him and get it over with.
Counteroffer:
One suitcase; clothes only, no bank books, account numbers. No public funds loot, no precious stones, no property deeds, no "retirement" fund of any kind, no bulletproof vest, no bodyguards.
Good luck, slimeball.
Kill the bastard.......now.
What happened to Pinochet is going to bite the west in the butt. No Dictator will willingly step down and go into exile like old Marcos did in the 80’s if they know that they will face criminal trial.
Mugabe will be a fool if he thinks they won’t come after him. I know Justice should be done but if Saddam or Chavez would of peacefully went into exile then maybe it would be the smart thing to let them.
If I was in a position to remove Mugabe, there would be no “soft landing”. I’d tell him, “If you cooperate, we’ll kill you quickly. If you don’t, we’ll kill you slowly”.
As emotionally satisfying as it would be to string Mugabe up by his toes (or other appendages) or to subject him to any other number of punishments he richly deserves, it’s more important to pry him lose from power and get some competent people in charge who are capable of putting a halt to the misery.
Not that I am sure it’s possible. Everything that made Zimbabwe the breadbasket of Africa has already been destroyed. The infrastructure is a total shambles, the farms have been broken up and looted, the political system is a nightmare to even think about.
It’s going to take the resources of a nation state — a wealthy nation state — to reestablish some kind of order there. And it won’t be easy.
Gee thanks liberals. Mugabe has been your creation from the very beginning. Aren’t you guys happy now?
