This is nearly two years old, but it didn't show up when I searched.

Mugabe has some nerve asking these farmers to come back, after he threatened to kill them and their families if they didn't leave.

I’ll just bet there were a couple of White Farmers who took him up on the offer. Some farmers love that lifestyle, and consider any chance to resume their work is bigger than Mugabe. The smarter ones probably went to other areas of Africa. You cannot trust Mugabe.

I can’t imagine any white farmers, who escaped with their lives, would return to a country ruled by a monster who wanted them dead, and who confiscated their property in the first place.

Let Mugabe and his country suffer what they have brought on themselves.

I feel bad for the formerly Zimbabwean farmers who were robbed 17 years ago. As for those who return, they are fools and deserve what they get. If Mugabe wants Zimbabwe to eat, he needs to send his farmers elsewhere to learn how to grow food and then let the people he chose to keep in his country grow that food. Anyone who is not Zimbabwean (which does not include those chased out when their land was stolen) but still gets involved there is a special kind of stupid.

Simple. Farm grabbin Bob wants them to rebuild the farms so he can take them again.

Zimbabwe white farmers must fight or flee
Thousands of Zimbabwe’s white farmers must decide by midnight tonight whether to fight President Robert Mugabe’s government and risk jail or to flee lands they have farmed for generations.

The farmers should have salted the land when they left and told him to go pound sand.

It is one of the most remarkable stories of Africa. Here was a land that could have feed the entire continent, and if you’d left them alone....there would be a thriving economy, with everyone on the plus-side.

On a lighter and funnier note - remember when Mugabe took that pratfall?

Google image - "Mugabe fall" - It is a hoot!

The white farmers the blacks killed would like a re-do.

Sucks to be arrogant, ignorant, criminal and hungry?

Without a foreign armed force to protect any farmers willing to return, fuggeddaboutit!

He did more than threaten. Many white farmers were killed by the marauding gangs of "veterans".

They were against apartheid. So they switched to the same thing buy blacks in charge. The world is going to have to admit one day that Sherman was right.

The other part of the story, after 17 years they could not train enough natives to operate a farm. Not just planting
and harvesting but managing resources and so forth.
