The sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by the U.S, Australia and the UK aren't helping Zimbabwe either, to be quaint; blaming everything on Mugabe is hypocritical.

why do white people hate Robert Mugabe eventough it have noting to do with them, i know its because he took the land from the white owners and gave it to the blacks. ofcourse they try to act so nobel when talking about africa.....the only thing whites want from africa is to embizzel her for the precious minirals she have nothing more. all wars going in africa are innitiated and supported by white people. white people are like termites you never know they are their until ur house falls on you.

I African leaders can be brave like Mr Mugabe then the so colled international comunity

will, by cirumstances be forced to work with africans as equal partners not as our masters.

viva Mugabe show them the way.

I understand that Africans are bitter, and perhaps may always be so, about European colonialism and interference.

However given that time machines don't exist wouldn't the best revenge be living a good life. Why, for example, are African leaders so comfortable with disparity of wealth between themselves and the people they are suppose to serve.

Does Mugube truly feel he has earned and is morally entitled to has vast personal wealth?

Robert Mugabe, please go away and let your people live.

@strongbadassman yes while many black people die because of Mugabe,once Zim was self sufficient now its a third world country,Remember when Mugabe first got his fleet of new mercedes,but they broke down because nobody could service them

@extrapressure Ok. I contribute in comments sometimes so that this generation of African youths might know where to begin when they emerge African leaders.When the youths are sure of the problems there is solution and I see it happening in future.The stuges and puppets raised by direct contacts by the whiteman are gradually aging out and a new generation is comming up. I see some hope for peace and development in future. Sorry if I miunderstood you. Thank you for your good contributions as well

@davies93313 you misunderstood me. i know britain, america and australia all hate how mugabe doesn't do things their way. the world is full of dictators, but the superpowers only care about the ones that don't reckognize their authority. in their eyes mugabe oppresses whites (they conveniently forget all the horrible things those land owning whites did and how they got their land) and they can't tolerate that. do they care how many raped and killed in darfur? no. but in oil rich libya....

@extrapressure If you don't know, white upper class are behind almost all the evil happenings in Africa in complex manipulative ways that are very secret. Africa seriously is still under colonialism but this time in another form. It is not a guess.I worked so hard to discover this. Even though I may sometimes be inaccurate in my details because I am not a god, believe you me I am basically correct.I suggest you stop trusting the so-called elites' sources because they are all tools.
