Gaddafi gone, next Mugabe

The Vigil was cheered by two developments – the death of Gaddafi and the failure of a second attempt to deport our supporter Shamiso Kofi.

We were not ashamed to celebrate the end of the deranged farting psychopath who has cast his evil spell for decades. Unfortunately, we are not referring to Mugabe here – though his exit cannot long be delayed.

Zimbabwe joined a brotherhood of repugnant regimes mourning Gaddafi. Mugabe’s friend Hugo Chavez of Venezuela said, ‘They assassinated him. It is another outrage. We shall remember Gaddafi our whole lives as a great fighter, a revolutionary and a martyr’. Indeed another Mugabe!

On a matter closer to us, the latest failure in the attempt to deport Shamiso raises serious questions about the UK Border Agency. We believe they are a disgrace and call on Parliament to review its activities. For one thing, it will bankrupt the country by its incompetence.

In brief, Shamiso’s new lawyer, Mark Taylor of the Taylor Partnership, succeeded in stopping the second attempt to deport Shamiso and is working on securing her release from Yarl’s Wood detention centre.

Disturbing information about a Zimbabwean recently deported from the UK has been given to the Vigil. We were told that Agnes Nyamakonde who arrived in this country on a Malawian passport was forcibly removed to Malawi on Kenyan Airways on October 18. She is now in a Malawian prison on charges of falsely using a Malawian passport.

We hear Tsvangirai has been in the UK on a clandestine visit. Why so secretive? One report says he encouraged MDC UK leaders to return home, but little enthusiasm was shown.

FOR THE RECORD: 92 signed the register.
