Under whites Zim was the bread basket of Africa. Exporting food. The standard of living was wonderful. Today blacks are eating tree bark and dying like flies..and yet they would vote for Mugabe again. Thats what "black rule" always means. Chaos, corruption, disease...death

Zimbabwe got what they wanted a hell run by blacks rather than a heaven run by whites.

Anyone who thinks Mugabe is good should be deported to Zimbabwe. In one week after seeing the horrifying conditions will be begging to escape...

When all black leadership is selfish, stupid and violent, of course everything colapses. The few in charge don't suffer. They get exactly what they want. Personal comfort, power over the weak and can act any way they want without restraint. The dream life for the African blackman, and they will alway take it first chance they get.

'COMMUNISM' brings Starvation, Slaughter and Misery. Capitalism brings Prosperity. Too bad the people chose Communism. The UN prefers 'National Socialism', Communism's twin brother. Now coming to more nations near You, maybe Yours?

Let's be honest. A country with huge cholera epidemic, starvation and hyperinflation (or infact no currecy at all, but just bartering) isn't what Africa wants to be.

Nice story indeed, but the point isn't UK or USa being nazi imperialists, but Mugabe unable to run his country. Zimbabwe is a failed state.

If you dont have any money and ask me for $100 and I refuse you is this sanctions? I think not. Sanctions it would be if you have $100 worth of products but I dont allow you to a market to sell it. This is not the case for Zimbabwe. There is no product in Zimbabwe that is not allowed to sell. If you dont believe it, try to find examples of independent Zimbabwe businesses that have been refused export or import deal. There is none.

There are no sanctions. What you call "sanctions" is the refusal by US banks (e.g. IMF) to give Mugabe any more money. It is by no means "sanctions", it is simply a refusal to finance his corrupt regime! The only real sanctions are against personal effects and businesses owned by about 200 corrupt government officials. And even these sanctions are by US and EU only. The true obstacle for a trade is that there is nothing Zim can offer the world: both its economy and agriculture have collapsed.
