Even the residents of Zimbabwe get it. Maybe you should go live there for a while.

Bulawayo, August 22,2011—-The mainstream Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T) youths led by Prime Minister Tsvangirai said
they will not allow ousted Libyan leader Colonel Moammar Gadhafi to settle in Zimbabwe adding that he is a criminal who should be hanged. Aljazeera reported this morning that there is a possibility that Gadhafi will settle in Zimbabwe or Angola.However speaking to Radio VOP Clifford Hlatswayo the spokesperson for MDC-T youth assembly said they are not going to allow another dictator to settle in Zimbabwe adding that the country is already under dictatorship.“We will not allow that. He was rejected, dejected, defeated and he is a criminal. He has caused harm to his own people, killing them because of power. We will not tolerate such nonsense. We are already occupied by one dictator here in Zimbabwe. Hlatswayo said the MDC-T is greatly shocked by such reports; saying they are detrimental to peace and security in Zimbabwe. “Gadhafi is a security threat. We don’t want him. Zimbabwe is not a haven for criminals let him stay in his own country and face the music.”

Even Desmond Tutu gets it.

“If Africa’s leaders held their peers to account there would be no need for the people of Libya to suffer human rights violations,” said founder of the Desmond Tutu Peace Centre, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu. “And there would be no need for United Nations sanctioned military interventions in Libya.

“Instead, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has for more than 40 years honed his skills in the art of resource management to win friends and influence people. And as a result, Africa seems powerless to stop him.

“The scenes of brutality being meted out with sophisticated weaponry by Libyan security forces against their own civilian population make God weep. With every blow they strike, each human rights abuse they perpetrate, they bring shame on Africa,” Archbishop Tutu said.

“As South Africans, we are acutely conscious of the value of human rights and democracy. We prosecuted a noble struggle against a morally corrupt and brutal apartheid regime, emerging as an example to the world in the fields of peaceful settlement, peacekeeping and reconciliation.

Even foreign correspondents get it

2137: Veteran BBC foreign correspondent Kate Adie remembers her visits to Libya. "You heard whispers, you heard rumours. Years ago, the Italian ambassador told me he had complained of the screams they could hear overnight. He said that they found rubbish skips with limbs in them in the morning. That's the kind of place it was."
