The best action for afrika is for all whites to leave and let the locals play in their ebola infested, islam infected, virgin raping, woman beating culture to self destruct.

Good. Then I hope we are not giving them any aid as they do not need it anymore because they are doing so well.

Sometimes, it’s not necessarily for the best to produce too much. You’ll crash the price.

Complex, I know, but being the grandson of tobacco farmers I understand such things.

but tobacco is bad
and makes people sick

so we must send more foreign aid
to help all the poor sick people
forced into growing
tobacco
by those nasty capitalists

just don’t use tobacco in America,
or grow it
because you’re on your own
and we’ll hate you and hope you die

As a former tobacco smoker(15 years), I can say, what is so great about tobacco. Could they grow peanuts or peaches instead?! Seriously, What is so great about a product that is addictive and causes illness? I would be more amused if the government was working to find a healthy crop for future profits. Pecans?;Cotton?; Orange Trees.?!

When we took the land, taking it back to its rightful owners

Rightful owners?

None of them were owners. The land was sectioned off by British settlers.

“Black farmers are now producing more tobacco than white farmers did during colonial era.”
Not hard to believe. Aren’t all industrial farmers of today (regardless of color) using tools, fertilizers and harvesting systems that were not available or widely known ‘during the colonial era’?
That was my first reaction. It seems like an unequal comparison.

I’m sure they know how to rotate their crop to keep from destroying the soil.

"There used to be a man called Ian Smith who used to rule this country. At the height of production of their tobacco they used to produce 200 million kilogrammes of tobacco," Mngangagwa told the impressionable crowd.

So they are now back to 1979's yield.

Is this maybe because the’”white commercial farmers’ were producing food instead of tobacco?

How dare they have the nerve to raise tobacco, the Devil’s weed. This is proof that they hate humanity.

Before Mugabe Rhodesia exported food. Today it is starving. The farms are in dis-ray and producing little. The economy is a total failure. The people live in fear and life is a cheap commodity of little worth.

Aint Marxism great?
