Matabele Rising

More about the book

Will a two-state solution bring stability to Zimbabwe? Zimbabwe is not one country; to pretend otherwise is a dangerous hallucination. The country has to be divided into two federal states of Mashonaland and Mthwakazi (Matabeleland). The Government of Robert Mugabe will never concede to the separation - the genocide of the Gukurahundi pays witness to this, Rather it has to be achieved by negotiation under the auspices of an independent body of the United Nations.Matabeleland is bigger than Sierra Leone, Liberia, Malawi, Lesotho, Swaziland, Togo, Guinea Bissau, Rwanda, Burundi, Eritreaand Djibouti, all found in Africa, and all full members of both the African Union and the United Nations.This book presents a compelling case for a resolution of the simmering conflict between the Shona and the Ndebele.
