The Intricacies of Zimbabwe

Kameelah writes about the intracacies of the situation in Zimbabwe and on speaking out against the Mugabe government:

If we choose to speak, how do we speak in a way that does not invite neocolonial intervention, or mimic Western neo-con and neo-liberal narratives? I say love Black folks enough to fix the ugly. Let’s not pimp Black solidarity and Pan-Africanism until it’s so crippled that it’s meaningless and retired to the museums of embalmed anachronisms and clichés.
