Fuck-em, let them starve. They made it illegal for white people to own land but they were all farmers. Look at thier skinny asses now. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

How bitterly the blacks (and international intellectuals) complained when the whites ruled this land. The blacks now have black rule: I hope they enjoy it.

The hungers,the dying,the pain and the loss of a loved one, crying my eyes as they scream of hunger but no one answers back, no help the sadness of each day is like the storms of the forgotten, no more just silence...so sad as you walk seeing what was and what it is now...painful is it to see ruins and a culture of old a forgotten people only videos show of them and sadness oh the sadness is unbearable and painful to witness for we lack humanity and love for our neighbors,so sad so crying..pain.

There will be old faded pictures of people..the cars will stop running only to rust in the dry sands,the wind blowing past abandon buildings to mourn of the lost people,so sad so lonely..as you see old government buildings having broken glass and chipped walls,the silence with no one talking...so sad so so lonely and the graves are scattered all across the sidewalks and old signs saying hunger hunger but no food...a mourning for all nations to remember these proud people...sad songs playing.

@Kryptonian250 At this rate Zimbabwe in the next several decades will be only a memory. no people to speak of and no government to talk too. it will be a massive wasteland where once people lived...now its gone...forever into nothingness..deep into the shadows of emptiness. it will look like a hollow tree only its husk to remain for all to see of a once lived country. now barren, homes emptied like an empty hole with only a zimbabwe dollar sticking out crying to be remembered,..a sad day to cry.

I agree. They thought that soviet style dictatorial communist regime will provide them with all the food they want and all the goodies they want. What they got is soviet style misery. I guess they failed to learn about soviet and chinese famines caused by stupid marxists. Every country in Africa which forced whites to leave is starving.

Mugabe wants famine. He wants a people too weak to kick him out and open up to liberty and democracy.

[funkybjorn11]

What is surprising about this? This is black Africa.

[limestoneroad]

Soon South Africa will suffer the same fate as every other African country that has made the transition for white to black rule.

[Kryptonian250]

Your right about that, thanks to Mugabe and his harpy wife, that country is starving and wasting away.
