The outgoing US Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Bruce Wharton says Zimbabweans should continue fighting for democracy “because” change is inevitable.

Ambassador said this in a farewell letter.
BELOW is the full message from the courageous US diplomat.
Dear Friends, Colleagues, Family, and Comrades –
My time as the U.S. Ambassador is up. It has been an extraordinarily rich and wonderful time for me and my family — our second time to live in Zimbabwe — but it is drawing swiftly to a close. Thank you for your friendship, for teaching me about Zimbabwe, and for showing me the power or resilience.
Though I am sad to be leaving, I know that the change will be good. Good ideas or projects that I may have had here will withstand the test of time, and my departure provides an opportunity for my not-so-good ideas to go quietly away.
My successor, Ambassador Harry K. Thomas, is an extremely distinguished American diplomat. He is also a tremendously warm, smart, and decent man. He will fit right in among the millions of warm, smart, and decent Zimbabweans who are the soul of this great nation. Please welcome him and support him as you have me. I will “unplug” this Facebook account when I leave, but hope you will connect with us though our embassy Facebook page (www.facebook.com/usembassyharare) and keep an eye out for Ambassador Thomas’ social media presence.
I am returning to Washington, DC to become the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for African Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. In that position, I will work to support the efforts of Assistant Secretary Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Secretary Kerry, and President Obama to build stronger, more mutually beneficial relations between the U.S. and Africa. It is not an easy job, but I am honored to have been asked to take it on and very happy to remain focused on U.S.-Africa relations.
I remain deeply committed to the ideals on which Zimbabwe was founded, ideals that Americans and Zimbabweans share. I will do everything I can to support progress toward those ideals in the U.S., in Zimbabwe, and across Africa and the world. I will miss many friends here, and hope to return in a few years – perhaps when we open our new embassy — to renew those friendships.
In the meantime, support each other, reach out to people who are not like you, listen thoughtfully, be proud of your great country, and look for ways to support it.
Thank you, ndatenda, siyabonga, farewell!
