Zimbabwe still lacking leadership and food - 19 Sept 08

[flyguyinmotion]

See, all you fools should not have supported the scumbag Mugabe. Ian Smith was a fine leader for Rhodesia. Racist dirt had to have a black man in charge, huh ? Well here you go. Isn't black rule wonderful ? Stupid people !

[63gstone]

Ian SMith warned that if the rebels (at that time) took over then their country would become just another African dectatorship. He was correct.

[Kcastle001]

Mugabe may be a bad politician.but

we shouldn`t forget that british were more cruel than him.(90% of whites had made a monopoly of the wealth and treated african as

slaves)

we must learn europian dirty history again.

at least UK and the queen should apologize to

Zimbabwe about genocide and invasion.

[Shiftyeyes516]

You Are Absolutely Correct! But Mr. Mugabe has now become the Gov he fought against .

Sometimes it not corrct to compare past history to present times - the majority of Zimbabwe People don't even remember how evil Rhodesia White People were - as African American cant relate to American Segragationist.

Evil is Evil regardless who is in charge - I can see that Mugabe will probably die in office as most dictators do and he will leave a lagacy of Triumph which ended in DEFEAT!

[southbobby]

Who are they trying to fool? they continue to export resources. reguardless of the situation in zim.

resources is all they care about.

[takoradiguy]

You call our place a jungle but have you forgotten that your glittering world is nothing without our jungle.Why are you so obsessed with our jungle?You are so scared that we are going to cut you off from our jungle.THE JUNGLE OF LIFE

[chigudo]

mugabe is a bitch ass motha  to hell with this homosexual

[chigudo]

to hell with mugabe put MORE SANCTIONS ON THIS BASTARD SQUEEZE HIM TO HELL

[jonnymvura]

your not queezing him your squeezing the people

[looking2003]

Look it up yourself tinostruggle. Just a few short years ago, Zimbabwe was feeding it self . Even exporting food to other African nations. Then the White farmers were evicted By that asshole Mugambe. The blacks came in and tore up the irrigation systems to sell for scrap. They also lacked the capital for seed and fertilizer. Now the once fruitfull farms lay fallow, while the people starve. I think it is you who do not know anything about Zimbabwe.

[looking2003]

The white people who were kicked off those farms did not steal them. That happened a long time ago. Those lands were bought and paid for, fair and square. When the wites were in controle of the farms, Zimbabwe was actually a net exporter of foood. Now that they have been forced out, it is just another famin ridden African country that has to depend on handouts from white run country's to survive. If African land is just for blacks, maybe we should cut of the aid to all of Africa.

[heikkuri]

You are right on the mark, but ironically, live in the states...Expat?

[takurah]

u are all arguing about the wrong thing...in essence the fight for zimbabwe has been about taking over the reigns of our destiny, and rectifying historical wrongs-what happens inbtwn is sad but not unexpected- evry gr8 country has gone through this if u know your history- US, Uk, most of Europe etc-

[katyu16]

Too bad most Black Zimbabweans cheered when the White farmers were driven from their farms, farms which now stand deserted and overgrown. SAD!

[TinoStruggle081]

That's a load of rubbish. You don't seem to know anything about Zimbawbwe.

[SIGNAL75]

tino -you dont know your facts!! zimbabwe is a racist anti white country!! as a white i love to see the black population suffer!! they laughed ans cheered when the white farmers got killed and kicked off their farms!! suffer blacks suffer!!

[three3thou]

i find it interesting that you acknowledge the killings of a few white people in recent years and use that as justification for the suffering of black people? If you can remember the killing of whites in zimbabwe, i find it hard that you cant remember the blacks who were killed by the white "settlers" on their arrival and the attrocities committed against the blacks then. clearly u not capable of such intellect or understanding. if it was in your reach you would have attained it by now.

[trayc87]

can i ask u a question????? do u have white friends??? are they violent and want to kill yes 30 odd years ago black people suffered but i was not one of those white people who did it why should i suffer for what some old white people did just because i was born with this colour skin???

[three3thou]

settle down trayc. i was not attacking u by any means. i am trying to keep the matter neutral by saying yes there were a few whites killed in the recent years by MUGABE - not the people of their free will. When a tyrant issues commands many follow thru the order and yes are guilty but under better instruction/rule/wisdom would not have done so. What i am saying is lets not just lament whites suffering - let us lament the whole nation suffering becoz the issue in zim is mugabe - not the people.

[raypt2008]

Phnom Penh - Cambodia joined a growing list of countries that have banned Chinese milk powder and stepped up inspections, a senior official said Tuesday.

Secretary of State for the Commerce Ministry Chan Nora said Cambodia's quality control bureau also ramped up testing of imported products.

[TinoStruggle081]

If you come here dissin my man dem in da Z i'll post painful words to you, get me.

[tangchikhay]

I am Chinese and I think it is high time that we take responsibilities in our current situation and not blame our miseries and backwardness on our past. The European races colonised the world and did what was best for their own people. THAT'S HUMAN NATURE. There's no need to hate them nor to love them, but we have plenty to learn from them. Focus on helping yourselves and your people. Stop whinning like sore losers....

[mkuki2000]

I am from Tanzania, and i think what you wrote it's very true, i agree with you 100%, Simply human nature!! but many Africans don't understand, they are still blaming colonization until tomorrow!! instead of working hard to build our nations just like you guys in Chine!!

[XBAMBOO99]

I am a Japanese, i agree with you 100%

[mkuki2000]

They think Europeans will come and help them, everytime their hungry!! Europeans are only interested of helping their own kind!!

[Rata4You]

Is this NEWS? Really? I remember when I was like 8 years old they were talking about shit like this...people starving blah blah blah. Stop having babies! Of course you're starving when you don't have a pot to piss in & decide to create 8 more babies. Cripes! You're not totally stupid are you? You know that the stork isn't responsible for getting you pregnant. Give me something...some hint of intelligence.

[aahjimlad]

Did Linsteadite mention black bankers, does anyone know of any?

ceeweezey Re; 'When Chocha Gurl Gets a record deal with great advances i will help Zimbabwe' Most recording artist only get 10 cents to every dollar their recordings make and by the time you pay back the advances there will be nothing left for you or the people of Zimbabwe.

[brightling1uk]

Zimbabwe in transitioning. It will be tough and painful but there will be better days. It is better to own your own land than to have the foreign devils dictating.

[Rata4You]

Transitioning eh?

Well, they are on their own...nobody gives a fuck. With oil prices souring things will only get worse for them. But the very very good news among the millions of starving people? They own the land. Good on them. Now shut the fuck up.

[TheSharpenedPen]

I don't feel bad for racists, who massacred white farmers. They brought this on themselves, ruining usable farm land and seizing land from those who actually knew what the hell they were doing. We'll all be joining Zimbabwe though soon enough, because the criminals of this world run more than just Zimbabwe.

[brightling1uk]

Whites steal indigenous peoples' lands in the Americas, Australia, Africa and Asia and when those people take back their land or drives the whites out. The White people say that their actions are racist. How incredible!?! Could colored people occupy lands in Europe--hell no

[TheSharpenedPen]

No whites don't do that. People do that. Get over your racist diatribe and excuse mechanism. You brand an entire race as evil like that, and that makes you a racist. Take back their land? Drive the whites out? You mean ass rape them and leave them lying with their innards out? You're a racist, and your politically correct excuses are wearing very thin.

[gthebeast00]

So you are trying to tell everyone that taking back what rightfully belongs to you is wrong? Stick into your nut that these pink people did the same to our ancestors some few centuries ago.

[TheSharpenedPen]

You are a racist idiot. You think that your racism is justified, for some racism you suffered? You think that because someone, who happened to be white, killed a black man, that all whites are responsible? That is the essence of racism. When you gutted those white farmers, destroying your economy in the process, (as evil often begets evil), you proved that you were no better than the white man that you blame for everything, & would have behaved in exactly the same way if the roles were reversed.

[WISENUBIAN]

TheSharpenedPen You are a racist moron. You think that your racism is justified, for some racism you suffered? You think that because someone, who happened to be of color, killed a so called white man,

[WISENUBIAN]

that all people of color are responsible? That is the essence of racism. When you gutted those nubian farmers, destroying there economy in the process, you proved that you were no better than the Zimbabwe man that you blame for everything, & would have behaved in exactly the same way if the roles were reversed.

[TheSharpenedPen]

How is it racist to say that the wholesale slaughter of white farmers in Zimbabwe has a lot to do with its current economic woes? I think it is you who is racist, grasping at straws in a sordid attempt to justify your hate against whites.

[chigudo]

wisenubian you are not wise?

[Rata4You]

Steal lands? Since when did natives OWN the land? Where's the deed the shows they owned anything? There are no DEEDS. Nature created the land for EVERYBODY. If a group of humans move in & create & change the landscape that's NATURE. Canada is a vast country...the natives can have the best of both worlds...live in the wilderness or live in the city. Nothing was taken from them that was traditional. Blacks, whites, Chinese & East Indians occupy this land...not just whites. We all work together.

[Linsteadite]

Rata4You, so only white people can understand the concept of land ownership.

[sunnytoppil]

Obama went to a black liberation theology church for over 20 years where he paracticed the black value syste,. Every Sunday he pledged his allegience to " his true mother land Africa". He wont respect our flag so let him go there.

[renman59]

America is next.

[SinNJoy]

America would have to be a majority black country for it to fail like the rest of the black majority countries.

[tengy08]

y does the country's Majority have to be black in order for it to fail? There are many sucessful black countires. Countries in Africa were known as the richest countries until white settlers started settling in them and dominating? Not saying that white people ruined everything, but all i'm saying is that , your comment was very racist.

[johnjand]

Not for nothing, but a lot of white Americans consider everyone else to be black. If they're right, then we're already a black country. It'll be interesting to see whether or not we fail.

[Linsteadite]

Some people really believe that people of Zimbabwe would rather starve than grow things to eat for themselves because for the past few previous decades whites employed them on low wages on their stolen ancestral lands to mostly grow cash crops and agricultural produce to export to supermarket stores in the west and tobacco companies.

[Linsteadite]

So If the African do not want to learn to how to set up intensive farming industries for themselves then they should die of starvation but I know all Africans with sense would want to make has much money or more out of farming as white people do. So basically some people are are making an implicit and explicit connection with a dumb African as being a good African and worthy of white peoples charitable concerns.

[ctkgod]

what a suprise! a african country with problems.

[stooshwun99]

[Linsteadite]

stooshwun99,s your language listed in the google translator?

[Sclorched]

they stole all the whites farms and raped and murdered their children. Fuck zimbabwe. They got the leader they deserve. South Africa too

[slitrobo]

They don't seem very angry.

[syfie]

Independence - It's a wonderful thing.

ps. no one should give a shit about what's happening in zimbabwe, they wanted independence now they should deal with their own problems.

[SendARope]

Mugabe is an animal. He alone is responsible for all of this. I am sad for Zimbabwe. I visited back in 96 on a missions trip and it's a beautiful place. In his greed to keep power that psycho Mugabe threw out the white farmers and gave the land to people that didn't have the first clue how to farm it. Now surprise, people are starving.

[Linsteadite]

SendARopetohangyouself, so black people did not know how to farm when white people were living in caves?

[SendARope]

Well if they did I guess whitey done gone and beat the ability out of them. Grow up and don't get your panties in a twist. They may have known how to farm but surely didn't know how to mass farm. It is one thing to grow a little. Another to feed southern Africa and that IS what the farmers (WHITE) were doing. It is not racist just FACTS. People are starving and it is the fault of the scumbag Mugabe and him alone!

[Linsteadite]

SendARopetohangyourself,You giving Mugabe more credit than he deserves since when has he being able to control nature and the speculators in the food commodities market which is causing food crisis in most underdeveloped countries. You clossett racist.

[CHRISCOOBS]

This just proves africans dont have the cultural capacity to organize a country. They are tribal in nature. Rhodesia was a gem of Africa BECAUSE it was run by white people. The story of Rhosedia is so sad. Paradise to hell because of Mugabe.

[DisposableName]

See my video on why we voted for Mugabe.

[Linsteadite]

DisposableName, are your associated with the secret society of(Cecil Rhodes)the Round Table? You seem to think that people don't know that George Orwell once worked for the BBC hence the (Endemol)propagation of UK foreign policy.

[tomanyasses]

they need a white to lead them and i havent seen a white leader there dam racist

[Linsteadite]

tomanyasses, yes your right what Africans need isa good white man like say George Bush who could has economical managment skills to bring away from disaster.

[Linsteadite]

Yes tomanyasses, I have drank from the same Aspartame laced fountain of wisdom has you have to have come to that conculsion.

[Linsteadite]

George Agdgdgwngo(Morgan tsangvirai)for president?

[tomanyasses]

wow i thought some smart ass would comment like you did shame on you smart ass

[aahjimlad]

When Zimbabwe first got its "freedom", ex Rhodies wore t-shirts with the message: "Whites made Rhodesia great, blacks made Zimbabwe Ruins" (a play on the name of the famous site of Great Zimbabwe). Man! it's never been truer than now. If you've ever wondered why white people become racists try living in Africa for a couple of years.

[Linsteadite]

aahjimlad can name any of the international bankers that are black who withdraw their finance and ruined Zimbabwe. I hope the these so called white people hurry up and destroy the Ozone layer and see how they would liked to be blessed by the U/V of the african sun.

[tomanyasses]

your just full of racist comments arent you ass head

[Linsteadite]

tomanyasses, So you think it is racist for someone who does not like racist white people and internalized racists' as yourself. You must be delusional.

[akahhr]

Dear Babez63, you have to choose between killing with hunger millions of blacks, and "oppressing" "many" black people. I see that your preference goes into african mass murdering, bloodshed, atrocities, and I must assume that you are either the twin brother, or the son, or the cousin of the "democratically elected" Mr President Mugabe.

[akahhr]

When it was Rhodesia, everyone could eat...

[babez63]

and you would know all about that akahhr, because you were there? living as one of the many oppressed black people?

[babez63]

SoylentSynth that was such a racist remark! If u r white, screw u! To think that u wud even suggest that slavery is in anyway better than anything in this day and age is stupid and insensitive. We maybe suffering under our own leadership but I would as sure as hell rather starve than wipe yo stupid hairy white ass.

I sincerely hope u rot in hell for your worthless remarks! And might I say, white leaders arent exactly proving to be the best in the world right now, anyway. U self-righteous prick.

[chigudo]

yes well done babez although we dont support bob you are ignorant white boys, calling us slaves etc to hell with you asswipe white monkey white devil ape in fact you pink lika a pig

[korok1234]

whites were owning all farms... it was prospering country.. and what happened? Mugabe decided that blacks must own all farms that belonged to whites.and what happened?they got farms but weren't able to manage them... nor their county is in full shit.

Then inflation started and what Mugabe did? printed more money.. well, he should have studied economics... printing more money only boosted inflation.

poor Zimbabwe people...must change their leader.

[Mduduzi22]

Why do the Zimbabwean people not gang up, and take control of their country. They should rush into Mugabes house or where ever he is staying and kill him immediately. They can change that country, maybe a few lives will be lost, but they can gain control of their nation.

[HelcaK]

it would not take a few lives that's the problem, Mduduzi22.. Mugabe is a machine with a small self-centred brain, big private army & loads of blood in his big hands.. I've been to Zim in 1997 & have since then sentimental connection with its people.. you can't expect them to get rid of Mugabe themselves without major losses.. the outside world needs to help

[DisposableName]

This is the problem Mduduzi22:

If Mugabe dies while in office as our President, then the military and WVs will declare a state of emergency and take the opportunity seize power and control/kill us. In this situation we will be forever lost without any hope at all.

And hope is ALL that we have for now.

So Mugabe must NOT be killed by our hand, or by his own hand or by the hand of God.

We can only be rid of Mugabe and supporters by new fair and free and independently monitored elections.

[ClitDoris]

After he was ruthlessly persecuted and nearly murdered at the hands of Robert Mugabe's henchmen, and hundreds of his followers were actually massacred by the same henchmen, it boggles the mind as to how it is possible that Morgan Tsvangirai was able to entertain, let alone actually enter into, a power sharing agreement with Mugabe's so-called government.

Surely, the only explanation is that Morgan Tsvangirai is a MORON!

[machipisazim]

Tsvangirai is responsible he showed disinterest in people of Zimbabwean by supporting and calling for more sanctions. He also called for a violent overthrow of the government of Zimbabwe by its former colonial power. And what is the economic policy the MDC champions? The same manic deregulation and fire sale of state assets that is now blowing a host of banks in the United States.
Neo liberalism has failed, and the MDC are the only people left in the world who think it is a great thing.

[burtonium1]

what a stupid comment system this is. I was replying to iloveallecchianime and it putted all the text here. :(

when your government steal their resources for unfair prices, you care about africa, right? when you need to help them, then you would love to forget they are on the map. you are fucking fuck with brain fucked.

I'm just watching videos here @ YouTube & if I feel like, I eat. if I'm hungry it's been my choice of taking a break/ make your guy/ means yourself happy with slender body haha

[EyesoreII]

Fuck Robert Mugabe. Aid workers are being stopped because they might "bribe" villagers into voting for the opposition? I don't believe in hell but if I did Mugabe would be going there.

[HelcaK]

I visited Zimbabwe in 1997 & by then it still was magic with the old Rhodesian 'G&T' feel.. the white farmers & their black workers co-exised in peace/ nothing like SA apartheid.. it was my intro to Africa.. amazing & pure.. two weeks backpacking & exploring this jewel of southern Africa.,. so sad to have since then observed the decline into the Mugabe hell

and now taht we've had the positive reports it again feels very thin ice.. aaaaaah!!!

[DisposableName]

It is nice to hear some person say good things about Zimbabwe as a destination.

Thank you for that. I am glad you came and enjoyed it here.

But you are wrong

You say it was...'magic with the old Rhodesian 'G&T' feel...the white farmers & their black workers co-exised in peace...'

Even in 1997 there was (& still is) a strong divide between us and the white Zims. I am sure you did not mean it, but your words convey an offensive sentiment to us.

Life wasnt good for us in colonial Rhodesia.

[saucy05]

Mugabe's ideology was by no means right, but nor is yours. A country's wealth controlled by a small minority is what you call a magical place?

i bet if the workers were white and the owners black, you would have a different tone.

[HelcaK]

for saucy 05,

I was born & live in west means lucky.. visited Zim in the old good days in 1997

backpacker on tight budget eating less than locals who in fact kept on eating lol..

street sellers popping into buses with produce & locals buying high speed.. 'VOW wasn't there hunger in Africa??' I thought..

I wrote that Zim in 1997 was 'magic with the old Rhodesian G&T feel'.. I was a tourist not NGO.. do I have wrong ideology? fair enough you live in Ethiopia me in NL.. ciao. H

[TomMarAlem1987]

Salam: What kind of things does Mr.Mugabe buy? Does he buy fancy cars or cigars or something like that. You have to get the companies selling them to him or to take the money on the premise that they will deliver, but put that money to getting food and medical supplies to the poor.
