Afinal cumprimentaram-se
Ao contrário de uma notícia anteriormente aqui postada, Mugabe e Tsvangirai cumprimentaram-se após a assinatura de um acordo tendente à criação de um "governo de unidade nacional" no Zimbabwe.

Seja bem-vinda (o) ao blogue "Diário de um sociólogo"! Por favor, sugira outras maneiras de analisar os fenómenos, corrija, dê pistas, indique portais, fontes, autores, etc. Não ofenda, não insulte, não ameace, não seja obsceno, não seja grosseiro, não seja arrogante, abdique dos ataques pessoais, de atentados ao bom nome, do diz-que-diz, de acusações não provadas e de generalizações abusivas, evite a propaganda, a frivolidade e a linguagem panfletária, não se desdobre em pseudónimos, no anonimato protector e provocador, não se apoie nos "perfis indisponíveis", nas perguntas mal-intencionadas, procure absolutamente identificar-se. Recuse o "ouvi dizer que..." ou "consta-me que..."Não serão tolerados comentários do tipo "A roubou o município", "B é corrupto", "O partido A está cheio de malandros", "Esta gente só sabe roubar". Serão rejeitados comentários e textos racistas, sexistas, xenófobos, etnicistas, homófobos e de intolerância religiosa. Será absolutamente recusado todo o tipo de apelos à violência. Quem quiser respostas a comentários ou quem quiser um esclarecimento, deve identificar-se plenamente, caso contrário não responderei nem esclarecerei. Fixe as regras do jogo: se você é livre de escrever o que quiser e quando quiser, eu sou livre de recusar a publicação; e se o comentário for publicado, não significa que estou de acordo com ele. Se estiver insatisfeito, boa ideia é você criar o seu blogue. Democraticamente: muito obrigado pela compreensão.
Caro professor,
ResponderEliminarAcho prematura falar sobre um Governo de Unidade Nacional. Após a assinatura do "Memorando de entendimento" continua a existir um dissenso sobre um GUN (conceito da ZANU-PF) e um Governo de Transição (conceito do MDC). Ambos términos não foram mencionados no seguinte acordo. Um abraço, Oxalá
