Kuna habari zilizovuja jana 28/06/2008 kuwa USA ina Military Option on the table kama Diplomacy na Pressure haitafanya kazi. Hata hivyo George Kichaka amewaagiza mawaziri wa Mambo ya Nje pamoja na fedha ku-table new sanctions on Zim. Kuvuja kwa habari hizo tokea White House zilipitia kwenye CNN katika kipindi cha Newsroom kilichokuwa kikirushwa hewani 04.00 pm EST badala ya kipindi cha Situation Room. Mpaka sasa White House haijathibitisha au kukanusha habari hizo.
Nguvu za kijeshi kutumika kumuondoa Mugabe zimeongezewa uzito na Mwanaharakati Askofu Desmond Tutu. Akinukuliwa na BBC leo, Askofu Tutu amedai kuwa kama Jongwe hatakubali ku-step down diplomatically basi nguvu itumike kumng'oa madarakani. Kwa habari zaidi kuhusu Tutu soma hapa chini:-
Archbishop Tutu: Good Argument For International Force In Zimbabwe
LONDON (AFP)--There is "a very good argument" for sending an international force into Zimbabwe if diplomatic pressure fails to sweep away President Robert Mugabe, Archbishop Desmond Tutu said Sunday.
The Nobel Peace Prize laureate said the African Union could take a lead role in any such action, as he urged the bloc not to recognize Mugabe as Zimbabwe's head of state at its summit in Egypt this week.
"That crisis has to be resolved sooner rather than later and yes, I think that a very good argument can be made for having an international force to restore peace" under U.N. auspices, he said, responding to a question on BBC television on whether there should be military intervention.
"If you were to have a unanimous voice saying quite clearly to Mr Mugabe ... you are illegitimate and we will not recognize your administration in any shape or form, I think that that would be a very, very powerful signal and would really be able to strengthen the hand of the international community," Tutu said, urging African leaders not to recognize Mugabe's re-election.
Mugabe is to be inaugurated at 1300 GMT Sunday after a run-off election in which he was the only candidate following the withdrawal of Morgan Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic Change because of violence against his supporters.
Also speaking on BBC television Sunday, the second most senior Anglican cleric in the U.K., Archbishop of York John Sentamu, called for the U.K. to close its embassy in Harare.
Military intervention shouldn't be ruled out, he added.
