The West Finally Agrees That Mugabe Was Right by Jen33(m): 9:05am On Jan 25, 2011
THE WEST FINALLY AGREES THAT MUGABE WAS RIGHT

Today, people are flocking back to the country including the ''terrified'' whites who fled.

The country is now more equal.

95% of the land is no longer owned by 3% of the population who were white.

Comrade Bob Mugabe's land reforms, for which he was demonised and vilified in the west, turns out not to be the failure they had all predicted, despite the vindictive economic sanctions they imposed on Zimbabwe to bring it to its knees.

But Zimbabweans endured it all and survived.

And the Land Reform Program has been a resounding SUCCESS.

Future generations of Zimbabweans will actually own a stake in their society, and share in the God-given bounties of their country.

All thanks to Bob Mugabe and his Pan Africanist ZANU PF Party.

Now that Zimbabwe's economy has been growing strongly for 3 years now, the country has suddenly dropped from the news. Na wa for imperialists!
Zim said an emphatic no to oppression and the country is now doing quite well, thank you.

"No" is a word most Africans would do well to learn. We can only develop by being ourselves.
Re: The West Finally Agrees That Mugabe Was Right by Jen33(m): 9:43am On Jan 25, 2011
Bob Mugabe is highly respected on the African Continent. He was always welcomed like a hero at the AU conferences even at the height of western opposition and sanctions. smiley

who is the west? what has west got to do with one man rulling a country for over 40 yrs? what is west about beating his fellow africans? destroying their houses and beating them to death?
there was a mediation that brought about coalition govt which saw mugabe and the oposition party form a coalition govt hence peace. the white farmers in zimbabwe need zimbabwe as zimbabwe ppl need them.
i was dating a zimbabwian girl in dubai then and their experiences were not represented 10% by the press. it was so bad that for u to eat ordinary bread, u will either go to south africa or botswana.
if we continue to praise mugabe and the west acceptance of his rightiousness, what happens to the thousand or millions that died out of hunger? my friend told me in confidence that sex for food was real and i know anyone faced with the situation then wld do same.
it is a mad thing doing, coming to a political position to die there. if for any reason, somebody is praising mugabe, then third term agenda or life presidency of obasanjo cld have been supported.
we must learn to call a spade a spade.

absolute bollocks. those people suffered because of sanctions by the west. and as per mugabe beating his fellow citizens ? i commend it. sometimes i think the only way africans can learn is by being beaten up. look at lagos for example ? to queue for common bus is a huge task. africans are so rowdy and disorganized hence they need whips to be kept in line. when idiagbon was the president of nigeria, he ruled with the whip and nigeria was very organized for it. people didnt litter, they queued and all that other stuff. as soon as he got deposed, they went back to being rowdy. so i say mugabe has every reason to whoop his fellow black men grin

south Africans cant do that,their black leaders are black skin and white in their mind,moreover their, too dem scared to even talk about land, because they have b.eee and already compensated with b.m.ws to forget their history.in most black south Africans they prefer to be fed by whites than feeding themself,i personaly conducting research about black south Africans and their neo colonist mentality.
Re: The West Finally Agrees That Mugabe Was Right by dempeople(m): 9:04pm On Jan 25, 2011
In Mugabe, I do not see a Martin Luther King Jr. rather, I see a Malcolm X. I do not see diplomacy rather, I see an "eye for an eye". Mugabe may have personality faults but I still prefer him to a Nelson Mandela any day. Africans must learn to fight with swords rather than to turn their cheeks for slaps.

What's that research you say you have been conducting?. South Africa the new gate way to the rest of Africa holding on to 50% of the purchasing power of the entire African continent. Only country to build a middle class in less than 10 years with a stable currency. largest organization of labour unions. What you talking about?

Mind you there are only 9 million white people who reside in S.A. and about 8% of them have emigrated out of the country. Who do you think is spending the money there.

is your reserch Malemononics 101.

Zim is only doing well because of an opening up of other alternatives of capital sourcing and the investment they have put in on education and infrastructure. A result of world economic shifts and no fantastic policies by Old man MUgabe.

Socialism for Africa as an ideology will only suceed in the short term at solving issues. Lets see how this trickles down to the people and how long it takes
Re: The West Finally Agrees That Mugabe Was Right by Chingwa: 9:56pm On Jan 25, 2011
grin grin Mugabe is truelly a hero. Mugabe used to come and get the red carpet in uk in all his 80s and 90s rule. He even got a knighthood from the queen. So what really happened, that after he told them he wants land back he was now a villian.

Mugabe he make me smile ooo
Re: The West Finally Agrees That Mugabe Was Right by Obiagu1(m): 10:04pm On Jan 25, 2011
Mugabe is never my hero. You cannot implement a policy like he did and let the economy and the country collapse completely and many displaced and killed.
Such policy as land reform has to be systematic that includes gradual redistribution to blacks. His approach was too abrupt and moronic to say the least!

The key word here is giving. Why don't they earn the houses instead of being given government RDP housing. Please reminisce on what this did to the lower and poor class of Americans in terms of a jump in pregnancy rates, STD and a lack of drive to go look for work and productivity

Robert Mugabe an African hero? Hero on what exactly? Destroying his own country? Spending 7 million dollar on his wedding at the age of 74? Going for a re-election again at the age of 90? I am completely aghast at what I am reading from the so called modern generation. If Mugabe is your hero, I think Abacha deserved some apology from Khudirat Abiola.
You really have to pity our people.

Don't mind them. Anytime they hear persecute "Whites", they'll start jubilating like f.ools as if that will erase their pain.

@ Jen33, you have inferiority complex that's why you think what Mugabe did was appropriate. How appropriate? Millions displaced, thousands killed, economy destroyed, country ruined Something he could have achieved without those rushed actions.

SHut your dirty stinking azz

If you hate Africa so much, we comment on her affairs


Why dont you hang with your American friends and banter about how good their country is compared to those lowly Africans. I am sure they'd appreciate your comment and incisive analyses.

What you do is unnecessary and smacks of inferiority complex stemming from some unresolved childhood experience. If i were you, I'd do what others like you have done; see a shrink.

A word is enough.

At this rate, you might end up killing yourself, and, I am sure, your relatives wouldnt want that for you. Dont do that to them. Seek help ASAP.

Actually, in the case of Zimbabwe, it was a bit more than ''erasing pain''. It was about redressing historical and present economic injustices.

@ Jen33, you have inferiority complex that's why you think what Mugabe did was appropriate.

On the contrary, YOU are the one with an inferiority complex, assuming blacks should be ''patient'' in redressing the bare-faced racism and injustice of their owning 3% of their land and mineral resources, with the white minority owning 97%, effectively making the blacks slaves and peasants on their own ancestral lands.

If you can name me one white country that will stand for that situation for even one month, not to talk of the 100 years Zimbabweans have endured it, I'll be glad.

YOU my friend are the one with the complex. Every black who thinks black people should be ''patient'' in the face of such rank, racist inequities on African soil which make them slaves on African soil is a rank FOOL of the lowest order.

But the Zimbabweans to their credit were patient.

Very patient.

In fact after they won the war of independence in the 1970s, a land reform programme was immediately announced. Britain was to fund the compensation of white farmers whose stolen lands were to be repossessed (very) gradually by the State under an ''orderly'' redistribution. This arrangement plodded on for 22 years up till 1997, at which point  less than 10% of the land earmarked for redistribution had actually been redistributed.

Britain, 1997 when Tony Blair came into power, put an end to this arrangement. They stopped paying compensation to the white farmers altogether. The courts were thus barred by law from confiscating the lands. The Blair govt said they never signed anything with Zimbabwe. The land reform programme ground to a halt.

Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe War Veterans, the thousands of soldiers who had won independence on promises of redistributed land, were getting impatient.

They knocked on ZANU PF doors. On Mugabe's doors. They wanted answers. They got one answer: Blair had reneged on the deal.

In response, the war veterans began raiding the white farms. Note:The war veterans began independently taking over the white farms. It was only later that the ZANU PF govt decided to side with THEM, since the ARMY also sided with the war veterans.

In the middle of this conundrum, stood Bob Mugabe.

He had TWO choices - he could try to clamp down on the insurrection and get overthrown by the Army, or he could throw in his lot with the war veterans and the army - with his people.

He chose the latter.

The rest is history.


How appropriate? Millions displaced, thousands killed, economy destroyed, country ruined. Something he could have achieved without those rushed actions.
Some folks really don't have brain.

You're a prime example of the wisdom in the saying that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Zimbabwe had to do what they had to do for their future generations. The problems began after the western nations imposed economic sanctions against the PEOPLE of Zimbabwe (despite the much voiced lie that sanctions were targeted at Mugabe's ''cronies''). They were denied international credit facilities available to all nations, denied foreign exchange, denied trade etc etc - ALL vindictive, spiteful, racist sanctions imposed by the evil forces of imperialism you are too scared of to challenge.

But Zimbabweans have always been a strong people.

There is no greater testament to the RIGHTNESS of their cause than that the same whites who fled in ''terror'' after  their evil deeds caught up with them, are today, queuing up to be let BACK into a more EQUITABLE Zimbabwean society  - of the type THEY proved incapable of establishing.

Unlike you, I couldn't give a rat's asss on ''whose side'' the West is on.

Just to see them SQUIRM in discomfort at the way the tables have turned in Zimbabwe, much against their predictions,  is more than enough to make MY day.

We know that had YOU been the leader of Zimbabwe, you would play the happy slave lapping up your massa's crumbs rather than fight for justice.

Your own thread's SUBJECT betrays what you have there in bold. As for the predictions, if you actually read the article, you would probably get from that that there is no resounding success being announced. The researchers are simply stating it is not going as bad as predicted and there is hope it can get better, BUT, and I add another BUT, it does not indicate a CHANGE in the WESTs view of Mugabe's decision.

Unlike you, I actually do not have a problem with the west or other sources, so whatever is said, I still take time to read and properly digest before I go about spewing to make sure I have considered the 360 of what is being said.  grin

I  dont want to understand mugabe, not by any chance of imagination, not a 90 year old looking for another term in office. How old where you when mugabe ascended the throne (yes a throne!)?
And how old are you now?He came to power even before Reagan for crying out loud!
Premier David Cameron was just 13, President Obama was just 18, Dmitry Medvedev was just 15 when your hero was handed over Zimbabwe that was feeding the world.
And by his calculation, he could be there and Obama might finish his possible 2nd term in office and leave.
You should move to Zimbabwe now and report back after one month. Buy your ticket first thing in the morning.
What next?
I should take time to understand Idi Amin, Mobutu, Bokassa, Campore, Biya, Abacha and many other African glorious heroes.
This is the reason African will ever remain backward untill God's kingdom comes.
