SADC's shocking bias

Mugabe-created impasse can only lead to more problems further down the line. The only way to break Zimbabwe's political gridlock is for the regional body to insist on a true power-sharing arrangement, with equitable distribution of cabinet posts and governorships.
The will of the people of Zimbabwe must be reflected in any new power-sharing arrangement. Morgan Tsvangirai won the only credible elections on March 29 and the administration that is formed must reflect this.
The SADC leaders are well aware that Mugabe has reneged on and breached the power-sharing deal in many ways since September, and yet they remain silent. They are rewarding Mugabe for cheating and brutalising Zimbabweans. This behaviour is utterly despicable.
To suggest, as they do, that governorships can only be shared after the contracts of the present incumbents expires is absurd and unfair.
Their suggestion that the allocation of ministerial posts should be reviewed after six months is also ridiculous. If Mugabe is refusing to share power now, whatever gives them the idea that he will agree in six months' time?
It defies all common logic and belief that SADC leaders should continue to turn a blind eye to Mugabe's vicious suppression of the people of Zimbabwe, and his wanton destruction of an entire nation. As a direct consequence of his lust for power and corrupt mis-rule during the past decade, millions of Zimbabweans today are  unemployed, hungry, sick and dying. Millions of school-children are out of school.
What on earth will it take for these leaders to understand Tsvangirai and the MDC's point in insisting that Mugabe must be forced to share power in a meaningful way?
This is the only just, decent, fair way to proceed.
The SADC leaders are trying to force Tsvangirai to drink a poisoned chalice. Agonising and difficult as it must be for him to refuse, while so many of his countrymen and supporters continue to be brutalised by Mugabe's thugs, we urge him to continue to do so.
