Deposed Zimbabwean rulers Robert and Grace Mugabee There is a good case to be made that you don’t want to rule after a coup or revolution. Things don’t go well, as Mohammed Morsi in Egypt, Chalabi in Iraq in 2003, or the guy that replaced Qhadaffi in Libya will testify. Who took power after Qhadaffi? Perhaps that’s part of my point. The fall of Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe is a false indicator of change in that country. For quick context; Mugabe’s vice president disagreed with a power play Mugabe’s wife made to succeed her husband. So, Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa used the military to overthrow the dictator of 37 years. While it may be satisfying for Zimbabweans and regional observers to see Mugabe go, however, there was no system change; Zimbabwe just swapped one strong man for another. Absent any system change we should expect no real change other than rotating cults of personality. With the taste of change and reform in their mouths, Zimbabweans will quickly be disappointed when any change is hard to find. Needless to say, now President Mnangagwa may have set the conditions for he himself to face a popular uprising. Blockchain Revolution The power carousel in Zimbabwe will lead to certain levels of renegotiation of internal and external relationships. This reexamination leaves room for the to infiltrate major elements of Zimbabwean society. Blockchain Western taxpayers and the people of Zimbabwe deserve to have every international Dollar/Euro tracked on the Blockchain. Aid donating governments have a chance to protect aid monies from pilfering on the Blockchain. The people of Zimbabwe also deserve to have all international funds tracked on the Blockchain to maximize the intended impact of aid monies. Blockchain Governing Legitimacy The formula for gaining legitimacy is a combination of transparency and responsiveness. The Blockchain’s ability to track and manage resources helps governments be transparent and responsive to the people. government Deposed Zimbabwean rulers Robert and Grace Mugabee
