Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe - once an exporter of food to Africa and the world. Zimbabwe - once an advanced and modern state, moving toward greater opportunity for its people. Zimbabwe - a nation of poor, but fed and relatively safe people for any African country. We have to face it, Africa as a continent is not the most stable of lands - almost every attempted genocide in our history has occurred on that continent and given the facts, Zimbabwe was a paradise compared to the hell of so many others.

The farmers produced more than enough food for all the people of Zimbabwe and the exports made Zimbabwe wealthy.

Today, the country is one of the largest importers of food. Its population is starving. Its wealth, gone. Robert Mugabe's reign of terror may be coming to an end.

MAY be coming to an end.

More than five years ago Mugabe seized the land belonging to white farmers. He expelled them. Their land confiscated by the government now sits fallow. His reign of terror MAY be coming to an end.

Why? An election was held and APPARENTLY he lost. Now, in Africa, losing usually means you have to kill a few thousand people and you suddenly win, so it is too early to celebrate, but the opposition has claimed victory and gone in to hiding.

This man WILL, if God is just, end up arrested and tried for crimes against the people of Zimbabwe and imprisoned and or given a pass to hell. He deserves it.

UPDATE: At 84, he needs to just go away - he has lost. He is trying to weazel a way to escape justice. His purge needs to be purged.
