Book Description
Unable to recall when exactly he died, Robert Mugabe is shocked to be in the presence of God for trial. Facing him are countless people who died during his regime. They tell their stories, after which God condemns him to hell. Mugabe suddenly wakes up, in Harare, realizing he just had a dreadful dream. "This important book draws deep from the well of African literature to challenge a post-independence leadership whose discourse of victimhood has been used to legitimate the most appalling brutalities. Chielozona Eze makes Robert Mugabe answerable for the massacres of Gukurahundi in the 1980s and the tortures and rapes perpetrated by the Green Bombers in the 2000s. A skillfully crafted novel and a deep philosophical analysis of postcolonial fever." - Prof. Meg Samuelson, Stellenbosch University "A gripping account of the horrors of the Mugabe regime- and a passionate call for liberation from dictators everywhere." - Robert Hughes, author of Running with Walker

Book Description
Instead of leading his people to the "promised land," Mugabe, the first prime minister of the newly-named Zimbabwe, has amassed a fortune for himself, his family and followers and has presided over the murder, torture and starvation of those who oppose him. This biography offers some explanations for Mugabe's behavior. With the death of his wife in 1992, a moderating influence was lost, and as the years go by, he continues to show himself intolerant of any opposition as he proceeds toward the creation of a one-party state, even though evidence suggests that his country is in terminal decline.

Book Description
'Meredith has given a spectacularly clear view of the African political jungle' – Spectator 'This book is hard to beat... Elegantly written as well as unerringly accurate' – Financial Times The fortunes of Africa have changed dramatically since the independence era began in 1957. As Europe’s colonial powers withdrew, dozens of new states were born. Africa was a continent rich in mineral resources and its economic potential was immense. Yet, it soon struggled with corruption, violence and warfare, with few states managing to escape the downward spiral. So what went wrong? In this riveting and authoritative account, Martin Meredith examines the myriad problems that Africa has faced, focusing upon key personalities, events and themes of the independence era. He brings his compelling analysis into the modern day, exploring Africa’s enduring struggles for democracy and the rising influence of China. It is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the continent’s plight and its hopes for a brighter future.

Book Description
A journalist’s harrowing account of life in Zimbabwe—and the human rights atrocities perpetuated—under President Robert Mugabe’s despotic rule. Where We Have Hope is the gripping memoir of a young American journalist. In 1980, Andrew Meldrum arrived in a Zimbabwe flush with new independence, and he fell in love with the country and its optimism. But over the twenty years he lived there, Meldrum watched as President Robert Mugabe consolidated power and the government evolved into despotism. In May 2003, Meldrum, the last foreign journalist still working in the dangerous and chaotic nation, was illegally forced to leave his adopted home. Meldrum’s unflinching work describes the terror and intimidation Mugabe’s government exercised on both the press and citizens, and the resiliency of Zimbabweans determined to overturn Mugabe and demand the free society they were promised. “[A] remarkable odyssey . . . A compelling and, ultimately, heartbreaking story that demands to be read by anyone concerned about contemporary Africa.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Book Description
When Hissène Habré, the deposed dictator of Chad, was found guilty of crimes against humanity in 2016, it was described as 'a watershed for human rights justice in Africa and beyond'. For the first time, an African war criminal had been convicted on African soil. Having followed the trial from the very beginning and interviewed many of those involved, journalist Celeste Hicks tells the remarkable story of how Habré was brought to justice. His conviction followed a heroic 25 year campaign by activists and survivors of Habré's atrocities, which succeeded despite international indifference, opposition from Habré's allies, and several failed attempts to bring him to trial in Europe and elsewhere. In the face of such overwhelming odds, the conviction of a once untouchable tyrant represents a major turning point, with profound implications for African justice and the future of human rights activism globally.

Book Description
Even to this day, humanity has not advanced beyond petty and primitive national conflicts; succumbing to despotic leaders who use xenophobia, nationalism, propaganda and power politics to manipulate and indoctrinate the people of their respective countries. This not only applies to countries such as Russia and Iran; but also to the UK, EU and US - who deprive honest and decent folks of basic necessities, such as a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG), if they do not fall in line with the economic and political establishment. However, my dear friends at MI6, the GRU and SVR are certainly right about one thing: That the war between Russia and Ukraine must end - to stop further loss of innocent life, and restore the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in the International Community. The 2022 Russian invasion, has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths on both sides and caused Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has forced 7.9 million Ukrainians to flee the country, and internally displaced another 5.9 million, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution condemning the invasion and demanding a full withdrawal of Russian forces. Pope Francis has also denounced the "wake of death and destruction" caused by Russia's nearly-year-long offensive in Ukraine, describing the war as "a crime against God and humanity". He said attacks on civilian infrastructure were causing deaths "not only from gunfire and acts of violence but also from hunger and freezing cold." "Every act of war directed to the indiscriminate destruction of whole cities or vast areas with their inhabitants is a crime against God and humanity which merits firm and unequivocal condemnation." Furthermore, the International Criminal Court has opened an investigation into crimes against humanity in Ukraine. So we expect our colleagues in the Government of Russia to make Peace with Ukraine - and uphold the Legacy of Peace by Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin - by working together with the Ukrainian government, to restore Human Rights and International Law in the International Community. We encourage all Russian troops to come back home to their loved ones in Russia - so that Peace can be manifested, and we can all live happy and fulfilling lives: ) Love and Light / God Bless Acting president of Russia and the US, Mark O'Doherty / BTB-Global Peacebuilding
