Guys, it was you who wanted black majority rule, supported guerrillas and who danced and shouted pambere neZanu at the independence day in 1980, right? Wasn't it you who kept voting Mugabe in 80s and 90s and who cheered at evictions, beating and killing of white farmers in 2000?

Either accept consequences of your own stupidity and stop asking for help or agree that you do not possess a sufficient collective mentality to be independent and ask UK to take you back as a colony and rule you.

Its funny how all these African countries go to shit when they kick/kill out the whites and try to run their countries.

Humanity went over a cliff in the 1960s. We decided it was more important to build weapons than to educate the people of the less developed world. Eiesenhower said it best "Every ship or weapon built is a theft from the hungry". We decided to fight the cold war instead of save humanity.

Napalm. It will solve their hunger once and for all. You must be cruel to be kind.

The skilled white farmers were kicked out of Zimbabwe....now Zimbabwe is paying the price with starvation.

Well, good for you, or rather good for your parents! For many, however, this is not the case. Half of the population is dependent on the foreign food aid. So for the population at large, the thesis about learning to feed themselves still holds true. This is least about learning how to farm and most about how to organise politics and economics in a manner that will make commercial farming profitable and not risky. Today many farmers (not only whites) do not plant crops in the fear of invasions.

Well right about now I am going to tell you something that will both shock and surprise you but my family and relatives in Zimbabwe are feeding themselves and helping each other without assistance from no one. The pieces of land that they own weren't acquired through invasions or fast track redistribution neither do they have anything to do with ZANU PF. This makes your comment to me, in as far as I am concerned, an invalid one. So sorry, you're air. Nice try though.
