## Quotes

* Until recently, many of us believed in the promise of a peaceful Zimbabwe, particularly following the President's assurances. We were convinced this election would be different. However, recent events have been a harsh reality check for all of us who were hopeful. It’s now apparent that the level of violence we may witness this time could be unlike anything we've seen before.
** Theresa Makone responds: "What are your thoughts on the current state of security in the country?"
* Yes. By day, we speak of free and fair elections, but by night, it's about winning at any cost even if it means repeating or surpassing the violence of 2008.
** Theresa Makone responds: "Are you referring to the death of 12-year-old Christpower Maisiri, who was reportedly killed in Headlands?"
* The rank and file follow orders from the top, but just how high up does that go? Commissioner General Augustine Chihuri, when it comes to operations, reports directly to the President, while ministers only set policy. So between the two, it’s unclear who isn’t fulfilling their role. If I were the President, I would demand answers as to why these violent incidents keep happening without anyone being properly arrested or prosecuted."
** Theresa Makone responds: "how serious is the situation within the police force?"
* I’m very aware of this issue. It was raised at a security meeting, where I specifically requested the secretariat to connect with Musasa Project, understand their challenges, and report back on possible support. Meanwhile, I also reached out to Musasa Project directly, encouraging them to coordinate with the police unit responsible for such cases to discuss measures for addressing and reducing these incidents.
** Theresa Makone responds: "Over 8,000 underage girls in Zimbabwe are forced into marriages with older men in certain churches. As a female leader, are you aware, and what can you do to help?"
* I was in my office signing papers when I received an anonymous call warning me that I was going to be arrested today and advising me to leave the office immediately.
** Theresa Makone speaks in a BBC interview

## Quotes

* [On the unsustained optimism at the time of the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in May 2018.] This new era did not dawn. But the prophecies of it are useful to revisit, because they should remind us that it didn’t matter then, and it doesn’t matter now. Because the country that Harry and Meghan married in was one that, just a few months before their wedding, declared Paulette Wilson, who had lived in Britain for 50 years, "removable to Jamaica" and detained her in Yarl's Wood. The Windrush scandal was also "modern" Britain.
** "Why the woes of Harry and Meghan tell us little about British racism" The Guardian (19 December 2022)
* It is because Britain was breaking that Brexit happened in the first place. It was a necessary, phantom new road to prosperity when all other roads had reached a dead end. In that sense, it has been a success. Because when it did happen, the shock was so huge that it diverted attention away from all the reasons that it had come about in the first place. To those who opposed Brexit, leaving the EU was not only a political event, it was an emotional and cultural one too: a physical wrenching from a liberal fraternity, perpetrated by liars and charlatans and maybe even shady foreign influence. The feelings Brexit inspires are understandably strong. But they are also broadly wasted when their purpose is merely to reverse Brexit, to fixate on Brexit as a uniquely calamitous event that is bringing about Britain’s decline, rather than a secondary cause of that decline.
** "Britain was sick before Brexit. Until the left accepts that, the likes of Liz Truss won’t give up" The Guardian (5 February 2023)
* Over the past decade, almost 22 million people have been displaced every year by weather-related events. The projection is even more staggering. By 2050, the forecast is that 1.2 billion people will join the ranks of climate migrants, most of them from the countries with the lowest capacity to deal with the fallout from global heating. They will not all be fleeing a fire or a flood. The climate crisis is not about a single photogenic weather event. The climate crisis is war, it is poverty, it is radicalisation, it is the disappearance of the habitat families have lived in for generations, and it is the geopolitical and security fallout of collapsing ways of making a living. The result is a movement crudely summed up as a "refugee crisis" – a description that makes a constant churn of displacement sound like an exotic temporary phenomenon that will abate, or can be quarantined to other countries, if only the barriers are raised high enough.
** "The lesson from the Greece wildfires? The climate crisis is coming for us all", The Guardian (31 July 2023)
** Dozens of wildfires in Greece were occurring at the time.

** Louis Agassiz wrote in his journal, BRAZILIAN CULTURE AND HISTORY
* In early half a century ago a little boy was walking with his father and mother in a park of a city in Southern France. Toward them came a distinguished-looking elderly couple—Dom Pedro II and his Empress. That occasion was my first introduction to Brazil. In the years that have passed since that day—years measured by the splendid history of the Republic of Brazil—I have had the pleasure of meeting many of your statesmen and of becoming increasingly familiar with the problems which mutually affect our two Nations.
** Franklin D. Roosevelt; Address before a Joint Session of the National Congress and the Supreme Court of Brazil at Rio de Janeiro Online, The American Presidency Project; 27 November 1936
* The long reign of the great Dom Pedro II put Brazil among the leading democratic nations. Americans of today know him well, for you have engraved his noble features upon a postage stamp which comes to the United States with every mail from Brazil. We recall with pleasure that he was the first monarch to visit the United States, when he came to the exposition at Philadelphia in 1876 which marked the centenary of our independence.

    Inscriptions at Djeser-Djeseru, as quoted in Ancient Records of Egypt: Historical Documents from the Earliest Times to the Persian Conquest (1906) by James Henry Breasted
* Hear ye, all persons! Ye people as many as ye are! I have done things according to the design of my heart. … I have restored that which was in ruins, I have raised up that which was unfinished since the Asiatics were in the midst of the Northland, and the barbarians were in the midst of them, overthrowing that which was made, while they ruled in ignorance of Re. He did not do according to the divine command until my majesty. When I was firm upon the throne of Re, I was ennobled until the two periods of years...I came as Hor-watit flaming against my enemies.

# Robert Needham Cust

Robert Needham Cust (24 February 1821 – 27 October 1909) was a British administrator and judge in colonial India apart from being an Anglican evangelist and linguist.

## Quotes

* ...to all those who have an interest in the art of governing subject races who have hearts to love them , and sympathies wide enough to care for their best interests , moral , material and spiritual.
** Cust 1887 quoted in Chakrabarti, D. K., 1997. Colonial Indology: Sociopolitics of the Ancient Indian Past. New Delhi: Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt. Ltd.124
* What is now required is a carefully and scientifically edited Dictionary or Gazetteer of the Castes, and Tribes, and social distinctions of British India, arranged alphabetically under the leading name, but carefully giving all the synonyms, and alternative names, carefully transliterated in the Roman Character, and given also in the local Indian Character. It is an idle war to fight against Caste, which exists in the atmosphere of India. The English is but an additional Caste to the previously existing catalogue. There are also many compensating advantages. All secret societies of a dangerous political character are impossible in a population, which is honeycombed with deep, though innocent, fissures: the panchayet of the Caste is a welcome and powerful ally to a just Ruler: the old Roman proverb applies, Divide et impera. Difference of Religion and language, great as they are, are scarcely so operative as difference of Caste. Then, again, the necessity of a general poor law to relieve the indigent is obviated by the existence of Caste. The respectability of a community is maintained by the enforcement of wise Caste-rules: they are felt, though not written, by Europeans in their own country. The English Government has steadily ignored Caste, as far as the administration of public affairs is concerned, but respected the private rights of every class of its subjects, and the Civil Courts will give a remedy for any wanton outrage of the feelings of the meanest of its subjects; while, on the other hand, any attempt to monopolize the use of wells, or other places of public convenience, or to place any section of the community under a ban, causing injury to person or property, is sternly repressed. I am glad to hear that there is a prospect of an Ethnological Survey of British India.
