Thank you Nancy and Lesley for the contributions.I know many people here also long to see the end of suffering here in Zimbabwe and the end of Mugabe's era and we will continue with the struggle...Constance.

As much as Tsvangirai and the people of Zimbabwe want this deal to work it will not work as long Mugabe has power hungry and selfish politicians in his party like George Charamba, Emmerson Mnanangwa and all those corrupt ZANU PF officials who do not want Tsvangirai to rule because they are afraid their corrupt activities will be found out. ZANU PF is made up of selfish people who will one day face the music. I think the international community should pile up pressure on Mugabe and arrest him for crimes against humanity. Mugabe must be arrested by the International Tribunal Court the moment he sets foot outside Zimbabwe- this man has caused enough suffering to the people of Zimbabwe.

Lovely article Halimah. The lack of food insecurity in Africa is a serious cause of concern but its worsened by most governments' lack of foresight and ability to plan ahead. If I became president of a country I tell you I would never sleep peacefully if I knew anyone had slept on a hungry stomach.

This is wonderful work Sarah and Kate that shows that it has been a long and difficult road. We pray now for God's intervention and it is my hope that world keeps up the pressure on Mugabe. Many other dictators who had terrorized their people over decades and decades have fallen and I believe his time we come eventually. Really good work. Constance Manika.

Nancy this was such an enlightening article. I thought it was here in Zimbabwe that women in the uniformed forces suffered such abuse. I felt very connected to these three former war veterans and felt that pain and frustrations. Thank you.
