Zimbabwe

Mugabe cannot have long to go. So Tsvangari and all other concerned Zimbabweans should declare right now that his successor as ceremonial Head of State will be "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of Zimbabwe and of her other Realms and Territories", followed by her lawful heirs and successors for ever.

Her Majesty would not have to do anything. That is the point: this would come from within Zimbabwe, and would place moral and political obligations on governments and people in 16 sovereign states (only four of them predominantly, and none entirely, white), and in numerous other territories besides, not only in these islands, but also in the Americas and in the Pacific.

So not only would this rescue the basket case of Africa and make it once more the bread basket, but it would also constitute a formal tie between Africa and her diaspora in the Caribbean. God Save The African Queen!
