Shame for Russia! When I heard this information, i could not believed first! We are at the same level as Zimbabwe!

Vyacheslav, Moscow , Russia

How misguiided these people are - UK got out of the colonies business long ago and certainly does not want to run a basket case like Zimbabwe ever again.

But we would like to see Zimbabweans governing THEMSELVES in a free, democratic manner.

Whatever your politics, isn't that obvious?

Peter Lloyd, BLACKER HILL, South Yorkshire

To Lim, Malaysia:

Suppose the Malays in Malaysia decides to follow Mugabe and kill the ethnic Chinese in Malaysia, take whatever they own, and tell the remaining survivors to get out of Malaysia -- oh, because the ethnic Chinese are indirectly colonising Malaysia. You sound really naive.

Kong Kek Kuat, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Lim...Mugabe has certainly convinced you! Ever thought that Zimbo's want MDC because then Zim will be able to take it's place proudly in the world, because they won't get murdered / tortured, becuase they'll be able to buy more than one loaf of bread with their salary? It's not about colonisation!

David Ashton, Bathurst,
Colonization is a thing of d past, Recolonization is really not workable but an indirect form of colonization seems possible. How? Support opposition party to form a new govt which will do d bidding of d foreign supporter/s (master). Sort of a reverse engineering feat?

Lim , Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Charan...Mugabe is not hallucinating...by making everyone think that the MDC and UK are trying to recolonise Zim, even though this is rubbish, he is diverting attention from his own poor governance. Very clever, he has fooled some of the contributors to these columns as you can see!

David Ashton, Bathurst, Australia

Lim , Johor Bahru, Malaysia
Zimbabwe's recolonisation has never been the issue. Britain does not seek to recolonise Zimbabwe and Mugabe knows that. This is just Mugabe's hallucinating an imaginary enemy, possibly the onset of dementia.

Yes, Zimbabwe must never be a colony of UK again. Not only UK but any other power.

To the British people, imagine Britain is weak and is ruled by another power, how do you like it? Or are you thinking that day will never come? Or is it okay because of globalisation?

Lim , Johor Bahru, Malaysia

I hope the MDC does'nt fall into the trap that Mbeki and Mugabe are preparing with the "government of national unity"
They are not to be trusted. Morgan just stick to your convictions a few more weeks because the economy is going to force Mugabe and his cronies to try desperately for an agreement.

Liam, London, UK
Well put! That is why I am totally against the so-called "government of national unity" or GNU. Surely whoever wins, wins! Mugabe is still too immature to understand that sometimes you lose an election, and it's OK; that is how democracy works.

Charan Muzaya, London, UK

Allowing Mugabe to share power, will encourage any doomed dictator to kill innocents to keep some power.

On a wider level, it encourages people from that part of the world to stick with the tactic of doing bad things to get what they want.

Both there & other places they manage to reach e.g here!

Russia's political attitude towards the west is odd. In the field of science, there is a lot of cooperation. Every US/UK graduate student of mathematical physics knows the English translations of the "Landau and Lifshitz" tomes which have been authorities in their fields for more than 50 years.

Charan Muzaya, London, UK

Russia is spineless and still a backer of rogue regimes in the C21st !!!!

Do you approve of the killings of Zimbabweans by Mugabe's militia? Western countries are trying to help the ordinary Zimbabwean who is not free in their own country, and Russia is trying to block that. It's merely using Zimbabwe as a pawn in its disputes with the west.

Charan Muzaya, London, UK

If Zimbabwe will never be a colony again, it is already a banana republic, with one British pound equal to Z$200 billion, a senior civil servant earning Z$100 billion a month before tax, and bread costing Z$90 billion.

Charan Muzaya, London, UK

Russia and China are waiting to get paid for their exports before pulling the plug on "Mugs".

Raphael, Los Angeles, USA

Russia will veto this sanctions, mind it is Russia that backed Zanu pf comrades against british imperialism. There is no way one can mix water & petrol to become one. Russia, China, South Africa, Bakina Faso, Indonesia will all back Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe will never be a colony of UK again.

Mercy Masenda, London, UK

Of course Vietnam, Libya and Indonesia, being the bastions of human rights and democracy that they are couldn't possibly have an ulterior motive for backing South Africa's cowardice. Russia is just using this as a chance to thumb its nose at the west, they have nothing to gain or lose in Zimbabwe.
