Ghana Calls for Military Intervention in Zimbabwe

Members of Ghana's parliament on Wednesday 25 June called for United Nations military intervention in Zimbabwe to save lives. they argued that if Mugabe's intervention is not checked today, the tendency could spread. They said the situation is an insult to the continent and should be stopped. They lamented the trend where African leaders sit and watch on, while Mugabe runs the country down. they also proposed that the African Union should hold an emergency meeting to put measures in place for an interim Government to take over from mugabe.

One really wonders what has happened to the much hailed African Security Architecture of the African Union and the decision making process of the AU. What other time than now to deploy the Southern African Brigade albeit with UN and other support to protect lives?
