Usando o olhar da mídia público-privada, este artigo explora como trinta e sete anos do regime de Robert Mugabe culminaram na militarização do Estado-nação sob o governo de um civil. Defendo que as relações civis-militares no Zimbábue – pelo menos do ponto de vista dos meios de comunicação públicos e privados – tiveram como consequência o culto à personalidade e a valorização de Robert Mugabe como o único líder adequado para governar o Zimbábue. Mesmo em face da diminuição da sua popularidade, a polícia e o exército garantiram que Mugabe continuasse no mais alto cargo da política zimbabueana. Afirmo, ainda, que a política zimbabueana pós-independência viu tanto o exército quanto a polícia se intrometerem, manifesta e encobertamente, na política nacional a ponto transformarem as eleições no Zimbábue em uma farsa.
Palavras-chave: Valorização; Culto à personalidade; Militarização; Estado-nação; governante civil.Downloads
