May 2008: Africa's Leadership Crisis Goes On: The Case of Zimbabwe
Posted by: nshr on Thursday, May 08, 2008 - 08:36 AM GMT
Press Releases The crisis in Zimbabwe goes on without abatement. As we go to the press, the presidential results of the now one month election in Zimbabwe remain unknown. This is fundamentally a manifestation of the persistence and intractable problem of a leadership succession crisis in Africa, a crisis that has been besetting Africa since the advent of the main wave of independence at the beginning of the 1960s. Soon after the achievement of independence, the process began to unfold whereby political parties in Africa became mere fiefdoms of their party bosses. And the broad masses of followers, whose political enthusiasm and energy had been aroused during the struggle for independence, found themselves held hostage to the patronage of the party bosses. Also, in the absence of internal party democracy, parties began to largely fulfill the role of being instruments of the political ambitions of their leaders, whose preoccupation was now to stay indefinitely in power. The constitutional provisions that restricted the office of presidents or prime ministers to a specific number of terms (mostly two) had to be subverted so that leaders could prolong their staying in power.

May 2008: Address by H.E. Sten Rylander, Ambassador of Sweden to Zimbabwe, on the World Press Freedom Day Commemorations
Posted by: nshr on Thursday, May 08, 2008 - 07:38 AM GMT
Press Releases 3 May 2008, Masvingo

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Colleagues and Friends,

It is indeed an honour and a great pleasure for me to be the guest speaker at this year’s World Press Freedom Day Commemorations here in Masvingo under the theme, “Rebuild the media, Rebuild Zimbabwe”. One reason for inviting me may be the fact that Sweden has a very long and admired tradition of freedom of the press in the world today – going back to the 1766 Freedom of the Press Act; a law which has undergone a number of modifications since then, but its fundamental core values have always remained the same.

Namibia’s National Society for Human Rights (NSHR) calls upon the international community (IC) to refrain from calling upon Zimbabwe to release the presidential elections.

April 2008: EXPOSING SCAPEGOATING, OBFUSCATION, SCARE TACTICS AND FEAR-MONGERING IN THE NAME OF THE SWAPO PARTY
Posted by: nshr on Wednesday, April 16, 2008 - 02:08 PM GMT
Press Releases April 16 2008

NSHR wishes to respond to the systematic Mugabe-style and or Hitler-style propaganda campaign of scape-goating, obfuscation, scare tactics and fear mongering that is currently underway in the country. This campaign is spearheaded by some—not all---SWAPO Party officials, especially those that are closely aligned with former SWAPO Party President Sam Nujoma. In most material respects, this propaganda campaign is reminiscent of the scape-goating tactics that right-wing and other extremists and opportunists have used throughout history as a means to shift the blame and responsibility away from themselves by attributing it to others.
