this is not good.
zimbabwe's only outlet to the outside world is through cricket.
if the games are cancelled, zimbabwe wouldn't have that avenue for discussion about the human rights abuses and who knows, we may even forget about zimbabwe eventually just like those other african human rights abuses like in sudan where arab muslims killing black muslims.
