US President State of the Union Address includes Zimbabwe

President G.W Bush reiterated his country's support for the people of Zimbabwe in his annual State of the Union Address yesterday.He was refering to the efforts geared towards ending the dictatorship of the Robert Mugabe regime which has been in power since 1980.

The inclusion of the Zimbabwean crisis in his speech is quite refreshing since it proves to the progressive movement that they are not alone in this struggle. An except from his speech:

"America is opposing genocide in Sudan and supporting freedom in countries from Cuba and Zimbabwe to Belarus and Burma."

The United States has been consistent in supporting the progressive movement in Zimbabwe and this writer hopes this will continue even beyond Bush's tenure.
