it is unclear what Carter hoped to achieve in Zimbabwe in the first place. Mugabe has not been in the mood for talking sense the last decade.
Amazing comments here:
@LabeerehnGbanna: "Mugabe is the man", who ruined his country and reduced his people to poverty.
@Bathopele: If you are black, white or yellow, and you buy a property in Europe, the law will protect your property rights (even if you are an african racist).
What rascist cave did BathoPlele crawl out of.Are you offended because your tribe is incompetent in providing food and care for its own. Enter the world, Neanderthal.
The fact that a former USA president is meddling into zimbabwe affairs clearly show how hugry of domination and colonization these europeans are. every informed African know europeans only meddle for racist reasons. Africa is for Africans and Europe for europeans. if they do not want to accept it let them go cry then.

It is our duty brown "black" people 2 free our race from any form of domination from the pink "white" race which is well known for enslaving the brown 'black" people for centuries and which is also well known for creating the current situation of the brown race.
there is nothing else that the proven criminal race is seeking in zimbabwe but perpetuate inequality and injustice in order 4 them to always be on top.

Russia said today that the USA and NATO are the main threat to world freedom, and global security and that accurate assessment is in line with what the African people faces in the hands of those purely satanic western European of death.
That race is worse than death for the African people as seen by the fact that they build their entire wealth enslaving us and today still they want to maintain us their modern day slaves using different techniques like neo-colonialism.

Pink 'white countries meddling into African affairs is reminiscent of their colonial and supremacist agenda.
That race is our sworn enemy and it is pretending to speak about human right when they are the creator of human right violation, genocide, rapes, evil and all the satanic things that exist on this planet.
Their attack against Mugabe and Africa show the African people their true face. The most important is for the African people worldwide to reject that race.

Everywhere in the world you found trouble you found the pink "white" man. In Africa that race has turned every corner of Africa into it heaven of madness, Controling and owning our land and natural resource, imposing it names and languages over us, telling us our own history and rejecting any sort of justice.
President Mugabe did justice in zimbabwe and showed the world that race is purely evil and they responded with attack on zim economy and political system.
Isn't it easier to look for a guinea pigs than to accept own failures? No one had more influence over Zimbabwean affairs than Zimbabweans, ZANU and Mugabe. There was no economic blockade, war or occupation. There were no plagues ro earthquakes. There was one disaster, though, that is worse than all above together. It is called socialism. This disaster devastated every country it occurred in: Russia, China, N Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Cuba. Zimbabwe is now added to the list.

The greed of African chiefs was the main reason for slave trade. They wanted cloth, knives and especially guns. One slave was worth 2 yards of cloth. One gun twenty slaves. Almost no one was enslaved by Europeans' force, all sold by Africans. First the chiefs sold their own slaves, then prisoners, then criminals, then poor and then they started to sell all and everyone they could enslave with no regard. They started to raid each other to get more slaves. Greed of Africans was the reason.
"Africa was robbed naked, millions of it people were abducted and forced into slavery by the pink "white" race..."
Bullshit. Slavery existed in Africa since always. Africans, arabs and later Portugese were the main purchasers, but they rarely enslaved people themselves. African chiefs sold black slaves because they wanted imported goods but had little to offer. Read Livingstone to understand why slavery flourished. It was because of greed of African chiefs. They enslaved and sold Africans.

don't you understand that the powers that be want us to hate each other? It is called divide and conquer. Please discern. There is so much propaganda out there.
The Guide of the African revolution president Mugabe is an inspiration that will help even the unborn baby lead Africa in a glorious path. The enemy of the African people the satanic pink "white" race will always try it level best to preserve their supremacy and pain distribution over Africans at all cost, but that should not deter the Heroic African people.
Their satanic actions should increase our resolute spirit to achieve total independence from that proven viral entity.
President Mugabe is the first African leader to effectively remove pink "white" people domination over the brown "black" race.
So doing he laid the foundation for an Africa free of pink "white" people atrocities and demoniac crimes.
the Brown 'black" race is a race of it own and cannot remain prisoner and pain distribution ground for the pink "white" who for centuries committed crimes against browns "blacks" that make them the worse enemy and most hated enemy of the Browns "blacks
Should have remained a British colony. You would have had a nice stable government, tourism, and good international standing. It's the dumb blacks' fault! They deserve this. ALSO, CARTER IS AN IDIOT

The African people went through hell and are still going through hell because of the clearly criminal, devilish and satanic race that call itself "white" as if they have mental incapacity to see that their skin color is pink.
The pink "white" race of albinos and animal rapists as seen by their culture called zoophilia has no shame to open it mouth against an African legend that freed his people from them.

A race so horrible it could not resist to occupy Africa for centuries and commit all sort of evil on the African people, that horrible race called the pink "white" race is so horrible it created the Gay disease, that evill race threaten to bomb countries that
say the gay people are abnormal people, A race so horrible it created child pornography because in it culture they raped babies for centuries as a culture.
The pink "white" race is similar to a disease for the people of earth.
Jimmy Carter and other lefties are like a bunch of restless beavers running around the world and trying to fix every hole in a dam by a piece of dirt, but only to discover on the next round that the hole has become bigger and their fix itself need to be fixed, so they fix it with yet a bigger piece of dirt.

And even after the tenth round they still truly believe they do a useful work. Idiots.

African people must understand that we cannot allow such a race to continue it madness and continue to bully us into accepting it clearly historical evil will.
their satanic history in Africa show that the pinks are a virus for the African people.
White man is a virus? No, educated, professional and civilized man, white or black is a medicine against well known African virus of irresponsibility, mismanagement, embezzlement on the side of the corrupt government and inertia, negligence and acceptance on the side of the people. While educated and professional middle class was present in Rhodesia (and a few first years of Zimbabwe), the country was doing great. Once these people left, Zimbabwe collapsed gravely ill.

President Mugabe is the messiah of the brown "black" race and pink "White" devils opinion is deeply devilish. when you value a pink "white" devil opinion you value the devil opinion.
Mugabe is a mass murderer. Gukhurahundi alone would be enough to 'honour' him with this title, but he also has on him murders of Rhodesian civilians, both black and white, killings and robberies of white farmers and mass deaths from starvation and now - from cholera. This month International Criminal Court in the Hague issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese president for atrocities in Darfur. The precedent has been set. Mugabe will surely be a good next candidate. It is just a matter of time.

President Mugabe is making sure that the pink "white" race of slavery, genocide, racism, terrorism, domination, povery imposition and all evil that they represent no longer have any role to play in Africa.

Mchigubu, you keep ranting about sanctions, yet you have failed to explain how targeted sanctions against corrupt ZANU leaders can possibly affect poor. You also failed to provide an example of independent Zimbabwe business that has been rejected an import or export deal because of sanctions. I gave you names, dates and facts - you keep repeating cheap slogans with no fact in their support. This is called propaganda.

Yes, yes, President Mugabe is the voice of the poor, he is the voice of justice.
the evil pink "white" race as seen in their enslavement of Africans and their gay disease is hating on him because he represent pure honesty and justice.
that race which build it entire wealth on the blood of Africans, native americans continent wide, native australians and other natives in the world want it satanic system of injustice in the world to continue.
The Zim currency has reached record inflation because Zimbabwe was not living up to its means. Mugabe kept Zim spending more than Zim earned and covered the difference by printing money. that is the reason. Of course he would want to have this difference covered by someone else, Britain or IMF, but was refused. After all if your salary is $1000, but you consistently spend $1500, borrowing $500 every month from the bank, at some point the bank will refuse you - that's exactly what happened.
I am not trying to make a disconnection. Disconnection is an absence of connection and should not be proven; the onus is on you to prove that the connection exists. I have asked this question many times, but so far no one was able to answer it: to prove the connection, quote me the names of independent businesses that have been refused export or import deal due to "sanctions". I believe you will not find any. Trade with Zimbabwe as a country is not restricted; only ZANU officials are affected.

Look at what the IMF And World Bank are doing in the other countries around the world. They see profit only. Most of the west's corrupting influence is through money not armys or weapons.Dealing with those bank will not allow him to do good for his people.

Political profits are secondary to money profits.That was the purpose OSS to get involved in internal affairs of countries to unfairly send profits their way. Their goal and drive is money.
No, they are not after immediate financial profits. They are after political profits that [as they rightly believe] will eventually lead to financial profits. I don't think this influence corrupts. Look at the case of Russia. In the 90s, simultaneously with Zimbabwe, they used multi-billion IMF credits to reform the economy, however unlike of Zim, Russia succeeded and fully returned the loans with interest. Now Russia is independent both financially and politically. IMF gain is Russia's market.
Another claim that Mugabe's apologists often bring is the refusal of IMF and World Bank to credit Zimbabwe. However, strong economy does not require IMF credits, as there is a line up of commercial banks willing to credit it. Manu of Mugabe's loans in 80s came from commercial banks.
IMF and WB can provide credits when commercial banks do not want to do it anymore due to high risks and/or low returns, but these bailouts are typically provided on conditions of economic and political reforms.
Banks are not greedier than other businesses; not any differently than any company from a shoemaker to spacecraft manufacturer - they just have to make best possible profit for their shareholders or else they fail. As long as there are competitors, they can not be unreasonable because a customer can choose. But as soon as there is government control, like in a socialist state, they can do with you whatever the state wants them to do. And this is yet another reason why socialism never works.
Independent Zimbabwe lived beyond its means and kept borrowing. Servicing the bulging debt was taking more than 35% or export earnings. Zimbabwe rating plummeted, commercial banks refused further loans. Mugabe the Marxist was forced to go to IMF. Both IMF and World Bank stepped in lending $700m, but on conditions of structural reforms. Zim had to cut civil service, and move towards market economy. As Mugabe failed to comply and continued with HR violations, the credit line was frozen. The end.
I am far from saying that colonial system was perfect, however let's face it, in Zimbabwe the evils of independence by far exceeded the evils of colonisation. I think the best option for Rhodesia was not a socialist revolution, but gradual transition to the rule of middle class, regardless of race. It was perfectly possible and Rhodesia was well on the way (look at the growth of the number of blacks eligible to vote), but Mugabe, Nkomo and other black nationalists did not allow it to happen.
"You still haven't admitted the rule of Ian Smith was bias and didn't represent the majority of the country."
I never said that Ian Smith's government represented majority, did I? It represented qualified people who, for historical reasons were in minority and were mostly white, although some 60,000 blacks also qualified. And it was right. There is nothing wrong with not allowing people to vote if they do not satisfy minimal educational requirements. Else why do children not allowed to vote?

It's not like the regular people posting here have an invested intrest in Zimbabwes natural resourses, just here here being puppets for their government's intrest.
Every regular person that has any investments or at least a few dollars in the bank account has some interest in good state of the world economy, including Zimbabwe. Believe it or not, this is how the economy works these days: you put money in the bank and get an interest; the better is the state of the global economy, the higher is your interest. Banks and funds reinvest people's money around the world prorate to expected returns and contra rata the risks.

The risk factor involved wasn't equated on balanced terms any way.Their intent was to inrich themselves reguardless of the rightful owners.His policies alone couldn't have done that to Zim. Everyone knows that.
Mugabe is clearly not in favour of independent businesses. He tried to implemented fixed prices and now he wants to nationalise mining industry. Look at what he is doing with much of the stolen land - like a true communist, he gives it to agricultural cooperatives, following Chinese model. They fail one by one, or do not even start and the land remains unused.
If he was pro-business, he would have not kicked white farmers off the land because they ran most successful agricultural businesses.
I want to disillusion you my friend, most of people want to enrich themselves and this is a big driving factor for many, regardless of their race.
What makes the difference though is the whether an enrichment of some leads to robbery of the others as in case of corrupt government, or to more jobs for people and increases in tax revenues for social services, as in case of honest businesses.
In Zimbabwe we clearly see the first case; businesses are suppressed, ZANU is corrupt to the bone.
Zimbabwe offers minimal returns but poses highest risks and that is why Zimbabwe gets none of these money. It does not help either when Zimbabwes president says "we will nationalize them". At this statement the capital hiccups and strikes bold red line through the country name in their list of planned investments. So thank Mugabes economic policies for the state of Zimbabwes economy.

Sanctions are targeted against about 200 corrupt ZANU officials, like former minister of women's affairs, Joyce Mujuru, who fraudulently received Z$389,472 from War Victims Compensations Fund prior its collapse in 1997 and leaving hundreds of thousand disabled without any means for existence. Mujuru received the money on the basis of 'poor vision' and 'mental stress disorder'. And these targeted sanctions are by US and EU only. China and SA are opened.

Are you saying that ZANU bosses and Mugabes well being is linked to the state of Zimbabwe economy as directly as of all other Zimbabweans? What did ZANU chefs give up since the economy started to decline in 80s and crashed in 2008? Did they move to modest houses? No, they built new palaces. Did they give up their luxury Mercedeses? No, in the middle of biggest food riot in 1998 they bought a bunch of new MB Saloons paying millions of dollars. So, no, their economy is detached from Zimbabwean.

If not Mugabe then who?
The leader would still have to deal with governments eyeing their natural resourses. The future of Africa is already planned, but doesn't count on the brains of indivisuals living there.
To hell with the greed and the evil bastards world wide.

"governments eyeing their natural resourses" - It is much simplified view. What difference does it make if the company developing resources is local or foreign? Look at Botswana. They are sitting on diamonds. De Beers does all the work, Botswana gets royalties, everyone is happy. What is wrong with this model? If you think De Beers'es share is too much for what they are doing, impose higher royalties. They are free to go and Botswana is free to contract someone else from abroad or locally.

What is so unclear about this triangle: citizens - economy - government? Live of a Zimbabwean citizen and the state of the economy are closely connected, but well being of the government and party officials, including Mugabe, is largely disconnected from both the state of the economy and the life of an average person. After the collapse they still maintain their lavish lifestyle as before.

Natural resources indeed belong to all people and so they should benefit all Zimbabweans, however there are different ways of achieving it. The socialist way implies nationalisation of the resource industries resulting in a lack of business initiative and growth of corruption of the part of management, ultimately leading to either enforcement and tight control of each and everyone like in North Korea or economic failure like in Soviet Union. There is another way - impose high enough royalties.

The greed of African chiefs was the main reason for slave trade. They wanted cloth, knives and especially guns. One slave was worth 2 yards of cloth. One gun twenty slaves. Almost no one was enslaved by Europeans' force, all sold by Africans. First the chiefs sold their own slaves, then prisoners, then criminals, then poor and then they started to sell all and everyone they could enslave with no regard. They started to raid each other to get more slaves. Greed of Africans was the reason.

"Africa was robbed naked, millions of it people were abducted and forced into slavery by the pink "white" race..."
Bullshit. Slavery existed in Africa since always. Africans, arabs and later Portugese were the main purchasers, but they rarely enslaved people themselves. African chiefs sold black slaves because they wanted imported goods but had little to offer. Read Livingstone to understand why slavery flourished. It was because of greed of African chiefs. They enslaved and sold Africans.

This month International Criminal Court in the Hague issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese president for atrocities in Darfur. The precedent has been set. Mugabe will surely be a good next candidate.

You also failed to provide an example of independent Zimbabwe business that has been rejected an import or export deal because of sanctions.

I say "RIP Mrs Susan Tsvangirai". Zimbabwe unite in this TURMOIL of 1 more year DEATHS & SANCTIONS

The voice of injustice and evil as represented by the evil pink "white" race is not ashamed to open it clearly satanic mouth.
the evil race of pink "white" is so evil, they imposed their European names on us while making sure that African names disappears, today each state in Africa that was enslaved and brutally traumatized by them is speaking those devils languages while our own are dying.
That horrible race is the one saying Mugabe is a despot.
It is always them talking against us.

All self-inflicted. Missing white people now are we? You all loved it when you slaughtered and robbed all the white farmers you fuckin racist blacks! The average life expectancy in Zimbabwe is now 31! 1 in 3 people are HIV positive! Cholera is rampant and the rainy season is starting! Black gangs are ripping up sewage and irrigation piping to sell cheap as scrap metal. The farms are dysfunctional. Your leader has a Hitler moustache. Blacks are destroying S.Africa too.

ZANU leaders are corrupt because instead of serving their people, they brainwash them, exploit them and shamelessly steal from them. Then they live a lavish lifestyle while people around have nothing to eat, nowhere to live and are dying from diseases.

pinks "whites" can run their mouth but one thing is clear is the fact that we freed ourselves after defeating them.
Another thing is clear is the fact that we kicked them out of our land with direspect.

The Zim currency has reached record inflation because Zimbabwe was not living up to its means. Mugabe kept Zim spending more than Zim earned and covered the difference by printing money. that is the reason. Of course he would want to have this difference covered by someone else, Britain or IMF, but was refused. After all if your salary is $1000, but you consistently spend $1500, borrowing $500 every month from the bank, at some point the bank will refuse you - that's exactly what happened.
Znaika1 2 years ago
I am not trying to make a disconnection. Disconnection is an absence of connection and should not be proven; the onus is on you to prove that the connection exists. I have asked this question many times, but so far no one was able to answer it: to prove the connection, quote me the names of independent businesses that have been refused export or import deal due to "sanctions". I believe you will not find any. Trade with Zimbabwe as a country is not restricted; only ZANU officials are affected.

Look at what the IMF And World Bank are doing in the other countries around the world. They see profit only. Most of the west's corrupting influence is through money not armys or weapons.Dealing with those bank will not allow him to do good for his people. The natural resoures should benefit the people reguardless of IMF and others greed.

No, they are not after immediate financial profits. They are after political profits that [as they rightly believe] will eventually lead to financial profits. I don't think this influence corrupts. Look at the case of Russia. In the 90s, simultaneously with Zimbabwe, they used multi-billion IMF credits to reform the economy, however unlike of Zim, Russia succeeded and fully returned the loans with interest. Now Russia is independent both financially and politically. IMF gain is Russia's market.

Another claim that Mugabe's apologists often bring is the refusal of IMF and World Bank to credit Zimbabwe. However, strong economy does not require IMF credits, as there is a line up of commercial banks willing to credit it. Manu of Mugabe's loans in 80s came from commercial banks.
IMF and WB can provide credits when commercial banks do not want to do it anymore due to high risks and/or low returns, but these bailouts are typically provided on conditions of economic and political reforms.

Banks are not greedier than other businesses; not any differently than any company from a shoemaker to spacecraft manufacturer - they just have to make best possible profit for their shareholders or else they fail. As long as there are competitors, they can not be unreasonable because a customer can choose. But as soon as there is government control, like in a socialist state, they can do with you whatever the state wants them to do. And this is yet another reason why socialism never works.

Independent Zimbabwe lived beyond its means and kept borrowing. Servicing the bulging debt was taking more than 35% or export earnings. Zimbabwe rating plummeted, commercial banks refused further loans. Mugabe the Marxist was forced to go to IMF. Both IMF and World Bank stepped in lending $700m, but on conditions of structural reforms. Zim had to cut civil service, and move towards market economy. As Mugabe failed to comply and continued with HR violations, the credit line was frozen. The end.

I am far from saying that colonial system was perfect, however let's face it, in Zimbabwe the evils of independence by far exceeded the evils of colonisation. I think the best option for Rhodesia was not a socialist revolution, but gradual transition to the rule of middle class, regardless of race. It was perfectly possible and Rhodesia was well on the way (look at the growth of the number of blacks eligible to vote), but Mugabe, Nkomo and other black nationalists did not allow it to happen.

"You still haven't admitted the rule of Ian Smith was bias and didn't represent the majority of the country."
I never said that Ian Smith's government represented majority, did I? It represented qualified people who, for historical reasons were in minority and were mostly white, although some 60,000 blacks also qualified. And it was right. There is nothing wrong with not allowing people to vote if they do not satisfy minimal educational requirements. Else why do children not allowed to vote?

Every regular person that has any investments or at least a few dollars in the bank account has some interest in good state of the world economy, including Zimbabwe. Believe it or not, this is how the economy works these days: you put money in the bank and get an interest; the better is the state of the global economy, the higher is your interest. Banks and funds reinvest people's money around the world prorate to expected returns and contra rata the risks.

Mugabe is clearly not in favour of independent businesses. He tried to implemented fixed prices and now he wants to nationalise mining industry. Look at what he is doing with much of the stolen land - like a true communist, he gives it to agricultural cooperatives, following Chinese model. They fail one by one, or do not even start and the land remains unused.
If he was pro-business, he would have not kicked white farmers off the land because they ran most successful agricultural businesses.

I want to disillusion you my friend, most of people want to enrich themselves and this is a big driving factor for many, regardless of their race.
What makes the difference though is the whether an enrichment of some leads to robbery of the others as in case of corrupt government, or to more jobs for people and increases in tax revenues for social services, as in case of honest businesses.
In Zimbabwe we clearly see the first case; businesses are suppressed, ZANU is corrupt to the bone.

Zimbabwe offers minimal returns but poses highest risks and that is why Zimbabwe gets none of these money. It does not help either when Zimbabwes president says "we will nationalize them". At this statement the capital hiccups and strikes bold red line through the country name in their list of planned investments. So thank Mugabes economic policies for the state of Zimbabwes economy.

"governments eyeing their natural resourses" - It is much simplified view. What difference does it make if the company developing resources is local or foreign? Look at Botswana. They are sitting on diamonds. De Beers does all the work, Botswana gets royalties, everyone is happy. What is wrong with this model? If you think De Beers'es share is too much for what they are doing, impose higher royalties. They are free to go and Botswana is free to contract someone else from abroad or locally.

What is so unclear about this triangle: citizens - economy - government? Live of a Zimbabwean citizen and the state of the economy are closely connected, but well being of the government and party officials, including Mugabe, is largely disconnected from both the state of the economy and the life of an average person. After the collapse they still maintain their lavish lifestyle as before.

Natural resources indeed belong to all people and so they should benefit all Zimbabweans, however there are different ways of achieving it. The socialist way implies nationalisation of the resource industries resulting in a lack of business initiative and growth of corruption of the part of management, ultimately leading to either enforcement and tight control of each and everyone like in North Korea or economic failure like in Soviet Union. There is another way - impose high enough royalties.
