Solidarity for Zimbabwe

Once again SADC has not been able to come to a viable solution for Zimbabwe. I am not sure I quite understand the reason SADC leaders are afraid or refuse to pressure Mugabe about the fact that 1. He lost the election and is running an illegitimate government and 2. Hundreds and thousands of people are dying due to his dictatorship. Today reports ran that unemployment in Zimbabwe stood around 94% - the number is so unfathomable to me..but things are DESPERATE. It is time for the Zimbabwe people to show where they stand on the matter, and there needs to be a call to the masses to protest this inexplicable brutality that has been put on them by their "leader". This Sunday there will be a one day global solidarity fast -(from sun up to sun down)- the more of us that fast the stronger the call for justice and democracy. This is one day for us to do something and show that this kind of injustice cannot go on and will be not be tolerated, please join the fast and show your support for the Zimbabwean people.

The pledge:

We, the undersigned, pledge to fast for a day in solidarity with the Zimbabwean people. We call on leaders throughout Africa—and the world—to act now to decisively support their struggle for justice, democracy, and survival.
