Resisting The Pharoahs

Egypt is burning again. Just after one year, the elected government has been removed by the military. Its all about the economy, the masses in the streets know this, the Pharaohs and elites do not.

Mubarak stole billions and sent his loot abroad. Egypt became poorer and more repressive under his reign. ZANU has seen Zimbabwe become poorer and repression currently  equals the Mubarak regime. Fortunately, Mubarak was removed by the Egyptians.

After elections, The Brotherhood took over. Unfortunately, the economy has not improved. The Constitution was rewritten without public input and one million lost their jobs, within one year of Brotherhood rule.Without economic progress every repression is harder to bare. The Pharaohs of old ensured the masses had 'flesh pots' to live on also people had structured jobs.

Zimbabwe has seen continuous economic decline. Millions face unemployment and starvation this year, while the old leadership elite is concerned with self-enrichment and power. Economic decay will ultimately force the masses to resist the Sub-Saharan Pharaohs. Just like in the days of old, millions of Zimbabweans have made an Exodus abroad to escape the slavery of Zimbabwe's system. Exodus creates temporary relief, while the challenges remain. Just like today's Egypt, removing an oppressive regime without a removal of oppressive poverty will see Zimbabwe mired in social unrest and chaos.
