According to the SW Radio Africa, Members of Ghana's Parliament are calling for United Nations military intervention, as a solution to the Zimbabwean crisis. The parliamentarians say military options should be employed to save lives.

A report in the Ghanaian Chronicle newspaper quoted the MP's, who were speaking in parliament on Wednesday, when they were contributing to a statement made by the MP for Dome Kwabenya, Prof. Mike Ocquaye, on the Zimbabwean situation.

The Deputy Minister of interior, K.T. Hammond, said the crisis is a sad story in the history of Africa. He added that the full force of Africa should be brought to bear on Mugabe, saying that if such acts are not condemned in the strongest possible terms, when it involves Mugabe today, it could be the turn of another President later.

Minority Leader, Alban Bagbin, said the situation is an insult on the continent and such stupid acts should be stopped. He lamented the trend where African leaders sit and watch on, as Mugabe runs the country down. He invited the United Nations to come on board to resolve the Zimbabwe crisis and also proposed that the African Union should hold an emergency meeting, to put measures in place for an interim government take over from Mugabe.

Other MP's contributed to the debate and all called out strongly for intervention, saying Africans should rise together and dissociate all Africans from Mugabe's negative actions.
