Zim land grabs: At least 163 white farmers to be evicted

Zimbabwe's lands and resettlement minister Douglas Mombeshora has reportedly moved to evict at least 163 white commercial farmers in Mashonaland East as government intensifies its war against white farmers.

This comes a few days after President Robert Mugabe vowed to expel the country's last remaining white farmers from their land.

"We don't need a white man to continue to guide us. No. We are now equipped with skills," Mugabe was quoted as saying during a party to celebrate his 91st birthday in Victoria Falls last Saturday.

The land grabs were set to continue despite Mugabe publicly admitting a few days before his birthday celebrations that he blundered by giving ill-equipped black farmers vast tracts of farmland seized from whites under his controversial land reforms.

Mugabe and his ruling Zanu-PF party launched the land reforms in 2000, taking over white-owned farms to resettle landless blacks.

Critics say the redistribution sparked food shortages and contributed to a massive inflation.

I didn’t know there were any white farmers left in Rhodesia.

You can bet your last dollar that Obama is taking notes on this.

Resettlement camps for all the new illegal immigrants, oh I mean Citizens, that are coming to America. Landing right in the bread basket of America.

Hell, The One will give them Our Countries farm land as their new country. Hell Meehico already owns a chunk of Kansas as a terminal aa part of the SHAFTA deal. Just set up the NEW CITIZEN Country there.

Yep you can bet he is taking notes on this one.

Why on earth are there any white farmers left there? One would think they’d have seen the writing on the wall years ago.

They need to plough under the fields and burn all the seed before they leave.

“We don’t need a white man to continue to guide us.”

Step 2: ask white man for food aid.

“”We don’t need a white man to continue to guide us. No. We are now equipped with skills,” Mugabe was quoted as saying . . .”

Why then is the US government providing food aid and other “humanitarian” assistance to Zimbabwe? Republicans in Congress are you listening. Here’s $150 million you can strike from the 2016 budget.

The sad thing is Obama will likely demand more money for Zimbabwe and the Congressional Republicans will gladly appropriate the funds.

He’s got the same goal as 0 but he’s more open about it.

Stealing land from others under the guise of ‘racial equality’.Communist thievery plain and simple. Zimbabwe in the toilet will be Mugabe’s legacy but he will still be celebrated. And so it goes with ash holes as leaders and followers.

"We don't need a white man to continue to guide us. No. We are now equipped with skills,"

Yes, the skills in how to petition the UN, the world's socialist countries to grant us unlimited aid. The skills of presenting the propaganda of the black blight at the hands of the whites. The skills in hiding the country's dissolving fiscal health, the declining sustainability of our current society. The skills to hide, from the world, the committed acts of unusual or illegal cruelty inflicted by an armed force on civilians or prisoners.

We can settle them in Detroit. They’ll have it profitable again in ten years or so.
