ZANU PF & MDC Leaders Deluded About Zimbabwe's Global Relevance - newZWire
Zimbabwean politicians are deluded about their relevance and importance internationally, a newZWire report claims.
This is indicated by the government of Zimbabwe and the opposition MDC’s reactions to the recent election of Boris Johnson as Britain’s new Prime Minister.
On one hand, State-controlled daily publication, The Herald, claimed that “Johnson’s rise opportunity for re-engagement” with President Emmerson Mnangagwa quick to congratulate Johnson through his Twitter handle.
On the other hand, the MDC Alliance twitter account posted a picture of Nelson Chamisa exchanging a handshake with Boris during the MDC leader’s visit to London last May.
However, Johnson has no time for Zimbabwe as his plate is full. He has to deliver Brexit (withdraw Britain from the European Union by October 31 this year) and defeat Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. The report further claims:

Zimbabwe is a nation burdened by many delusions. Delusions about its place and geopolitical relevance in the world, and delusions that world leaders spend sleepless nights worrying about Zimbabwe.
There are delusions that there is a saviour out there waiting to save Zimbabwe. The delusions that some world leader will wake up to endorse one leader over the other over there in Zimbabwe, then offer the country billions in bailout money and forgive all its debts.
And so, high on all these delusions, we pester foreign leaders for their attention and endorsement. We claim them as our friends, and pore over every statement they make to insert ourselves into it. Our Zimbabwean exceptionalism kicks in; the idea that we are special, better than others.
This, even in this same world where Paul Biya gets IMF loans while butchering half of Cameroon, and our regional peers are moving on, imperfect as they all are, warts and all.
… Edson Zvobgo once said of Zimbabwe: “We have behaved as if the world owes us a living. It does not.”
Zimbabwe needs to sort itself out. Her people need to let go of their very many delusions and face the truth; the world is busy.
