The African Union’s rotating post of chairman has gone to Robert Mugabe. Zimbabwe’s veteran president enjoys respect across the continent, but faces travel bans from both the US and EU for harassing opponents.
Mugabe assumed the largely ceremonial role on Friday at an African Union (AU) summit in Addis Ababa as it leaders and UN chief Ban Ki-moon called for global action against Boko Haram in Nigeria. […]
Western nations accuse Mugabe, a former guerrilla leader who fought against white-minority rule in former British-ruled Rhodesia, of crushing political dissent and ruining Zimbabwe’s rural-based economy. For many in Africa, however, he became an anti-colonial hero. Since independence in 1980, his ZANU-PF party has won every election. […]
One African diplomat told the news agency AFP: “It’s not a very encouraging sign. The Mugabe style belongs to a past generation, the one that takes power hostage, and this is no longer the AU creed.” …

That is indeed priceless.
The natives are restless.
Sheesh! They probably would have elected Idi,”I like liver!” Amin if he weren’t pushin’ up daisies!
He has made eveyone in his county trillionaires.
What a lunatic asylum that must be.
Funny, on several levels.
The US now has minority racial rule.
Does that mean a guerilla movement to impose racial majority rule is legitimate?!
The campaign of violence against whites, stealing their land and this guy gets rewarded for it
He has made everyone in his county trillionaires.
Post of the day.

But, thirty years ago Mugabe was the darling of all the American leftists and could do NO WRONG, even when his men slaughtered civilians from shot down commercial aircraft!
The only "rotating" thing Robert Mugabe should be connected to is a spit, over a very hot fire.
If Mugabe is at its head, you know a lot of what you need to know about the organization.
Why has there been no international outcry about the ethnic cleansing in Zimbabwe, as white farmers had their land expropriated? Why no discussion of the fact that Zimbabwe has much fertile farmland, and used to be able to feed themselves and export food, but now that country depends on international handouts to avoid mass starvation ???
I could not get the local liberal arts moviehouse to show the movie “Mugabe and the white Africans”. I guess it does not fit the liberal communist agenda.
“Zimbabwe’s veteran president enjoys respect across the continent...”
As long as that is true, Africa will remain the latrine of the world.
That pretty much sums it up about Africa. Left to its own devices, the place would still be mostly prehistoric.
This is truly Satan’s time.
But they are not left to their own devices here. Communism is an internationalist movement, and as such they are still very much colonized by communism and communist countries (biggest one China, obviously).
