Weapons flowing in and out of Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is not only stockpiling modern weapons, but is circumventing sanctions by exporting arms to the US via Eastern Europe, according to a report to be released this week.
According to the International Peace Information Service (IPIS), a Belgian research hub, the situation in Zimbabwe is a good example of why the UN-proposed Arms Trade Treaty needs to be as comprehensive as possible.
Throughout last year, when the political climate was at its most volatile, the IPIS tracked shipments of arms in and out of the country. It says they not only pose a threat to Zimbabweans, but outline the dubious nature of arms deals that continue to take place with a country that is heavily sanctioned.

What did US Official say in Libya to so Upset Mugabe?
WHAT did Ambassador Johnnie Carson, the US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs say to President Robert Mugabe to upset him to the extent the head of state resorted to using language such as “an idiotic. . .little fellow”?
That is pretty strong language for a leader of a country to use, never mind that it is extremely undiplomatic.
What I do know, basing on his physique during his tour of duty in the period 1997 — 1999 when he was Ambassador to this country is that Ambassador Carson is not “a little fellow”. The President must have been displaying utter contempt for President Barack Obama’s representative, imputing that Ambassador Carson must have “a very small, naïve” mind.

President Mugabe is questioned by Trevor Gifford of CFU over land grabs
There was rare public questioning for President Mugabe over his land-grab programme yesterday during an investment conference — and his answer did not exactly reassure visiting foreign businessmen.
He told the conference, which was convened to raise finance to rebuild the economy after the past ten years of misrule, that “not necessarily” every white farm would be seized.
Mr Mugabe also asserted, to much incredulity, that Zimbabwe had paid white farmers “compensation for developments and improvements”, adding that compensation should be paid by the British Government.
The false assertion came in answer to an unexpected question from Trevor Gifford, the president of the predominantly white Commercial Farmers’ Union (CFU). Mr Gifford wanted to know who was going to compensate white farmers and why they were denied the right to own and farm land.

Anne Matonga Sues Sharon Mugabe
THE dirty linen of a former Deputy Minister’s family is set to be washed in the public.
Anne Elizabeth Matonga — the estranged wife of Mhondoro Ngezi MP Bright Matonga — has filed papers in the High Court suing businesswoman Sharon Mugabe for adultery.
Anne, who is locked in divorce proceedings with Matonga, says Mugabe ruined her marriage by committing adultery and ultimately brazenly snatching her husband.
To compensate for the suffering she underwent as a result, Anne who is now surviving on charity is demanding $50 000 from Mugabe who runs a marketing and communications firm, Imago Y&R.
Mugabe is however denying the accusations. She says she never knew that Matonga had been married to Anne, adding she only got acquainted with him when their marriage had irretrievably broken down.
