Anti-Mugabe group takes up condoms

Condom use is actively encouraged in Zimbabwe Underground campaigners in Zimbabwe are using stickers on condom packets to urge people to join the struggle for democratic change.

The bright red and yellow stickers carry the slogan "Get Up, Stand Up" - a lyric from a Bob Marley song calling on people to stand up for their rights.
They are being stuck on condoms supplied by international development groups in the United States.
Zimbabwe state radio has blamed the US government for the campaign.
Zvakwana calls on all Zimbabweans to take courage and get up and stand up in pursuit of **** Zvakwana statement.

But an official with the US-based agency responsible for distributing the condoms told state radio he was "shocked" by the campaign and said it would undermine efforts to fight HIV/Aids in Zimbabwe.
The US International Development Agency is supplying 90 million condoms to Zimbabwe at a cost of $8.5m. Many are distributed free.
'Revolutionary'
Condom use is actively encouraged by the media in Zimbabwe, where around 25% of the population is HIV positive.
But the Zvakwana (Enough is Enough) movement, which describes itself as non-partisan but has acquired a reputation for anti-government activism, said in a statement that its "revolutionary" condoms were popular among the youth.
Around 650,000 of the condoms had been distributed in February, it said.
The statement added that they had the dual purpose of making Zimbabweans review their behaviour in health issues and empowering them to demand transparency from political leaders.
Last month, the group sent President Robert Mugabe thousands of postcards on his 80th birthday criticizing his lavish celebrations in a country suffering the double onslaught of Aids and drought.

Yes, it's political and you have to be punished by the mod thought control police! [em5] First, because condoms are used for population control - a politcal subject. Second, because of the specific use mentioned in this post.

How about a new slogan: "Political condoms for politcal freedom!" [em2][em2][em2]

Yes, it is political..... I guess now we all agree that Condom, even though it is harmless in many way, may lead to other heated argument. So, we should all ban all Condom material in Alibaba.

Have you heard about the present food crisis? [em12] Now we will have to ban the "food" topic, too, as it is political in nature, may lead to heated arguments, blah, blah, blah...

Not talking about the political issue, but just whether it's a good strategy to speak your mind via a condom package or not. I would say, it's brilliant! You are one saving lives and at the other bringing your message to a large audience. Excellent!

Trading is political too, thats why you have all the governing bodies like PTA, GATT, WHO etc.. What do you say, we ban trading too[em10][em10][em10]

P.S. Don't you feel tired, my little devil, jumping up and down whole day/week/month/year long. I get tired watching you jumping, or are you exercising that sickle to get rid of all this irritating YOYO (thats my nickname) like me.[em4]

Ah my fellow Singaporean.... how nice of you to join in.

My posts were very annoying, no? *wicked smile*.....

My past few days actions have proven to be annoying, ridiculously silly, and stubbornly selfish. Even though it is the Alibaba rule, my iron hand have hindered many users participating freely in the forum and discussing issues seriously and enjoyingly. Therefore reducing the overall activities in the forum.

I do not wish explain in details since it is pretty much self-explantory.

hehehe......
