Changing Times

Can't help but feel happy upon reading the news. I will not analyse about Mugabe's rule in Zimbabwe but i am glad that the election went well. To me, an apparent dictator can be unseated from a national elections means that the people truly wants a change, a new lease of life. It is easy for an individual with absolute power to corrupt absolutely and he can effectively stay in power. Therefore, congratulations to the people of Zimbabwe, this is your victory. Now lets hope the new president or government will rule this country well. I think Africa, though plagued with problems, can be very optimistic in this current era. With the help of the Chinese, they may just get pulled up from their current state. Give Africa 5 years of good governments and 10 years of solid institutions and smiles will return to this wonderful land once again.
