This address took place at Mount Olivet Baptist Church, in Harlem, New York, 8 September 2000.
This is before the Zimbabwe Dollar was targeted for destruction by the Bush Administration and the DNC, to protect the De Beers diamond mining interests. They did this through ZDERA (the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001, which went into force on Jan. 1st 2002).
Robert Mugabe is very old and he has been in power for too long . He should retire and let the younger generation take over . Power is addictive like heroin or cocaine !!!.
You did what you had to do. Sometimes, you just have to " take back" what is rightfully yours! What a brave, wise, and fearless leader this man is! More African leaders could, and should follow in his footsteps. Africa has and continue to be robbed by other countries. The continent really needs to unite. It is easy to break one stick, but when they are stacked tightly together, it is unlikely that they will be broken. Stay Strong, and keep speaking truth . The land is yours...not theirs!
" Mandela has sold South africans for a nobel prize. "
You should check out Naomi Klein's book "The Shock Doctrine". She has an entire chapter on how the ANC was coopted into implementing neoliberal policies.
I even have a better one. 11 white farmers were killed in Zimbabwe. Over 900 white farmers have been killed in South Africa. There are no economic sanctions against South Africa.
Why? Because for the corporations, everything in South Africa is going swimmingly. No nationalisation, no land redistribution to speak of.
The whole vilification of President Mugabe and Zimbabwe is about securing corporate (mining) interests.
@tigerone1970 those figures are fake, South Africa can not verify 900 murdered farmers. Some White racists were even saying 6000 White farmers. In the end they discovered they had simply been adding the names of White farmers who had died naturally into numbers they claimed had been murdered.
You are right...Zimbabwe has as much platinum group metals as South Africa (the world's #1 producer)...most experts familiar with Zimbabwe's geology and mining programmes predict it will one day surpass S.A. in platinum group metals production
I LOVE BABA MUGABE,KING AND LION OF AFRICA.......HE IS A THORN IN THE WESTERN WORLD AND THEY HATE HIM FOR EMPOWERING HIS OWN PEOPLE.AMERICA AND THE BRITISH THUGS TRIED TO KILL OUR BEAUTIFUL COUTNRY BUT THEY FAILED.JAH JAH SENT DIAMONS TO HIS CHILDREN.....VIVA ZIMBABWE
ur joking right? haha inflation rate above SEVEN THOUSAND PERCENT HAHAHA 100 billion dollars for three eggs. lmfao OH YAH LOVE YOU MUGABE YOU TOOK THE BREAD BASKET AND TURNED IT INTO A BASKET CASE. at least when it was the other way with the whites oppressing the black the country worked. U EVER NOTICED THAT OR THOUGHT IT PECULIAR?? EVERY SUCCESFULL COUNTRY IS WHITE HAHA
Mugabe was not wise in going against the UK and affiliates by himself...You don't bargain for land when its stolen, you develop superior weapons...Africa is too far behind in weapons...So the Nubian part of Africa has too develop a Space program , form a temp partnership w/China for trade and Security , because they will try to Assassinate any Leader who tries to liberate Africa..They need to develop an advanced Intelligence network just like the US,UK and Israel .. they need China 4 this.
iwith the power sharing thing coz to us any change is good enough but white people always want to push things until they are beneficial to them..but youre not getting zimbabwe white people let me tell you,not as long as bob is alive.
its amazing how european media has reported lies about zim, yes there may have been some truth to it, but let me tell you its was exaggeration greatly. people should go to zim and actually live there coz ive realised that people who have a problems with zim mostly are non citizens and have never been.
@tigerone1970 youre right,you seem to know wha youre talking about but ofcourse idiots like adammark1983 just talk of shit they dont even know of...its sad
"blair and his lot" that kills me...my president...call him what you want,but this man is intelligent,he speaks and the world listen,love him or hate him,but you will...best speech ive ever heard.but truth be told the british and usa do not want any african to be independent of them in any shape or form and i respect mugabe for being the only man on earth with the ball to tell them to go to hell...much respect Bob...
If i was David Cameron or Jacob Zuma i would get both the British Army and the South African SAS to invade and occupy the country and to either arrest him of kill Robert Mugabe he is known as Hitler of Africa because what he has done to his people and i think that The Queen has made a right decision to remove Zimbabwe from the British Commonwealth. If i was Jack Bauer in '24' i would shoot him in the head with a PSG-1 sniper rifle.
You're behind the news. All is forgiven now, don't you know? Zimbabwe is set to start exporting billions of dollars in diamonds - which is what the villification of Zimbabwe has been about all along.
All the lies that have been poured into your head about Zimbabwe and Mugabe were in the services of the ruling families of Britain and the US getting their hands on Zimbabwe's wealth and keeping the people poor. They failed.
@adammark1983 You must be MAD?! You must actually be mad. Invade and occupy Zimbabwe as who? But what is wrong with you westerners? You walk around like it is your birthright to invade other nations? As though the god of unilateralism takes roll call every now and then. Please adammark, I would advise you to read a book before posting something so silly.
@adammark1983 Once a white devil always a white devil. All white people should get out of Africa you have done enough destruction and racism. The white man can't be trusted ever, and that is the lesson that most African governments have not learned from dealing with the white man throughout history.
@ShabazzAllah1 I don't know why the white farmers don't just leave. Go back to Europe. We will send the tens of millions of Africans back to Africa. No more foreign aid. No more missionaries. No more sending of food,medicine,clothing. No more building of schools,hospitals,homes. No more of our advancements and technologies. I think fair is fair? Blacks are always talking about white supremacy. See how good your own treat you in Africa. I wonder if they have a welfare system like whites do?
Why should a country across an ocean help fund land reform in a state to which it was not associated with? Who can tie Zimbabwean farmers with United States tax payers? Reagan was right to negate US funding. It was a British problem, not an American one.
The US reneged on it's own principles and Constitution and took over much of the responsibilities of former colonial powers of Britain, France and Portugal during the cold war. That why it followed the French into Vietnam. Or why it supported white minority regimes in Rhodesia, apartheid South Africa, etc. Also, financing compensation to white farmers was what the US promised before the signing of the Lancaster House Agreement. Then Reagan came in and said no.
I would love for the US to have been true to itself and told the British and Rhodies to take a hike. However, the US's foreign policy has been about securing free access to Africa's raw materials, and to suppress and drain any economic system that would be a successful alternative to it's own corporate driven form of capitalism. That is why Zimbabwe has been under economic sanctions since December 21st 2001 (ZDERA).
White people didn't give a fuck when the Tutsi population was being wiped out, but a few farmers lost their lands, only then did the evil bastards were asking for western intervention. GO MUGABE.......WE'RE ALL BEHIND YOU.
They helped make the genocide happen. Paul Kagame was financed, educated and supported by the US. He set off the genocide by killing the presidents of Rwanda and Burundi. Kagame then slow walked his way across Rwanda, waiting for the massacres to burn out. It was a massive powergrab in Central Africa, going from Kenya to Uganda, to Rwanda, which gave them direct access to the riches of the Eastern DRC - coltan, copper, cobalt and diamonds.

You "Go" President Mugabe. Speak out loud for your country. As long as the African remains silent, the more other countries will steal land from them. So, you keep speaking out for what is RIGHT.your country has a perfect right to farm it's own land.Remember..we know what countries lie, and which ones tell the truth. In the meantime, keep speaking the truth....the world has a great need to hear he truth...the media shares its daily lies. Mr. Mugabe, KEEP SPEAKING TRUTH TO "WORLD POWER!"
No mention of the £44million that the Conservatives put up for land acquisition under the Lancaster Agreement-what a selective memory you have there, Mr Mugabe.
I like to agree with Robert Mugabe. I know he might have been undermined by the enemies of Africa. However, I think he has to be blamed for the countries predicament. He should not have giving the land to his cabinet members. He should have given it to qualified people.
@TheUsuallSuspect What the hell do you mean qualified people? If their African then their qualified. The games lies and deception that the western man has fooled the world the pat 600yrs is coming to a end.
Africa needs to have it's land returned to it's people in the worst way, to lower the price food and to distribute incomes over a much greater number of people.
DAM RIGHT MUGABE .. STANDUP AGAINST THESE THIEVES AND CROOKS AND BLOOD SUCKERS .. GOOD FOR U
