The Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, Mr. Morgan
Tsvangirai has been blasted for using his website to poll a question asking
whether or not they wanted sanctions in Zimbabwe to be lifted. The survey
results came out with 59.7% (just over 4000 people whose citizenry is unknown)
of the vote in favor of sanctions being continued. This goes against the work
of the Global Political Agreement which is a document that was signed in order
to quell Zimbabwe’s crumbling political and economic situation which clearly
opposed sanctions. Several leaders of civic groups, churches, as well as
opposition leaders have spoken against his action which has been described to
be agains the interests of the country.

Random Chief Thoughts: It is my belief that the results of this
poll, or even the survey itself should not be taken seriously or thought of as
the Prime Minister's evil plot against the country. To begin with, the Prime
Minister himself has participated in talks of reengagement with the United
Kingdom to ensure that sanctions will be removed.
Currently, two banks have been removed from the sanctions list and if he really
did not want sanctions to be removed, I doubt if those banks would be free as
it is. Another thing to note is that elections will be coming up soon and if my
assumptions are correct, Tsvangirai would be doing far more to ensure that his
name has not been dragged in mud. Considering that major propaganda engines in
the country have blamed sanctions for the ills of the nation, why on earth
would he jeopardize the chance of an election victory? That would be political
suicide, particularly when it comes to the rural vote. Lastly, I think there is
also a great chance that this website has been hacked into in order to fulfill
some other political agenda. Several reports have been made about several
websites being hacked in the country. In such a hostile political climate,
anything is possible.
