Zimbabwe

Change is most definitely in the air in Zimbabwe. New elections are coming up and it appears to be that the military led government will be losing the elections coming up. The people are expressing their voice without fear and in turn will be rewarded for it. In the past the nations leader had released security officials to stop the opposition parties running against him. Sounds like in Russia with Putin. I think that it is great that the people have finally chosen to end the oppression of their government. It is time for the people to stand p and realize that they deserve a fighting chance. People say that nations like these are forgotten by God, well this goes to show you that, that statement is false, good things do happen o good people. I feel that if a nation is not being fair to the people it is the peoples right—partially cause I am American—to end the unfair treatment and restore equality to all people of the nation. If the world could take example of this and just standup for what is right rather than sit idly by while their homes are ripped apart or the military of an oppressing force kills your family because they are of a different tribe. Hopefully this story will circulate and the people of the world living in similar situations will act in a similar fashion.
