Why we are in this current Situation, Cry my beloved Zimbabwe

„ We are all comrades fighting a common struggle to achieve total control of power and to defeat the enemy My opinion is that if we had a common enemy we should get together commonly. Let's put our differences aside and together fight the Injustice . In politics, it's easier to unite against a common foe than toward a common good.   Its not by choice that we in this current situation , the few ruling hateless elite has caused us to be in the scenario.
