AN alleged plot to drive most of Zimbabwe’s 50,000 remaining whites out of the country is being investigated by the Foreign Office.
The Sunday Times has obtained a document, apparently drawn up on the orders of a senior official in President Robert Mugabe’s secret police, which calls for the bombing of an economic target in Zimbabwe that could be blamed on “British funded terrorists”.
Diplomatic relations with Britain could then be broken off and all British nationals told to leave within 48 hours or risk being interned as suspected terrorists or terrorist sympathisers, says the document.
It is dated June 8, 2004 and is headed Solution to the White Problem.
It suggests that 75% of the whites left in Zimbabwe have connections with Britain and would follow UK passport- holders who were being expelled. Police “intimidation” at roadblocks would cause many others to give up their struggle to stay in the country.
“We realistically believe that expelling the British citizens will cause an 80% to 90% drop in the population within six months,” says the document. “If implemented soon, we could be almost entirely free of them before the final run-up to the parliamentary elections (next year).”
The paper, which purports to come from an advisory committee working on the instructions of the director-general in charge of operations at Mugabe’s Central Intelligence Organisation, was leaked to the British embassy in Harare last week. Officials there are working to authenticate it. A reporter who rang a telephone number on the document found himself connected with a member of the CIO’s staff.
“The sentiment is not very nice but until we can check it, we don’t want to say any more,” said a Foreign Office spokesman in London. “We are looking into it.”
The seven-page document is introduced as “the simplest and quickest method of ridding Zimbabwe of all undesirable whites without exposing us to an overwhelming backlash”.
Observers believe that if implemented, such a programme of “ethnic cleansing” would produce an exodus of terrified whites unparalleled in Africa in the past 40 years.
The document acknowledges there are problems with a scheme to nationalise land announced by Mugabe’s regime two weeks ago. This was interpreted as a measure to get rid of more whites following the seizure of thousands of white-owned farms since 2000.
I say, we oblige.

Ping!
bump
More like an exodus of disgusted and frustrated citizens.
Liberals in the US will greet this with a yawn of indifference. To liberals, only Caucasians are capable of ethnic cleansing. They cannot be troubled by reality or facts. And predictably, but unfortunately, it won't even appear in the NY Slimes.
Given what's been going on in Zimbabwe for several years, as reported on FR alone, "disgust and frustation" are probably the least of their feelings.
More good nooooze here !
Stay Safe !
Why would any white (besides the diplomats) still remain there till now? For how many years has this mess been going?
There's an elderly (white) South African couple I am acquainted with who would dearly love to leave the place -- forever. As it is, they spend as much time as they can with their children abroad.
Looks like Mugabe's enemies would ensure that he had a good dose of AIDS or stick some arsenic in his coffee. araRAT & Mugabe should have been dead a long time ago.
Destroyed by who? The UN won't lift a finger ... after all, it's only white people being killed and run off their land. The bleeding hearts that prattled on for years about South Africa and evil of apartheid will not say one word about their marxist hero Mugabe giving the colonialists their just desserts. The Congressional Black Caucus will probably invite Mugabe to a picnic or something. And the current administration is a little busy to involve itself in appearing to help whites in Africa ... any investments in Africa are for blacks only (and their votes, hopefully.)
These folks are on their own.
BTTT!!!!
I wish I could poison the bastard. There I said it.
Stay safe !
Relocate some Quran thumpers to Zimbabwe. Mugabe's color problem will become trivial.
The 6 million Christians slautered by Islamics in Africa over the last ten years has been swept under the media rug.
Sounds like Zimbabwe is ushering in a new surge of ethnic cleansing

So the white Zimbabweans either leave or shut up and take it like the Sudanese christians and animists, like Cuban dissidents, like Chinese christians,etc. If anyone waits for the BJ Clinton networks to say anything, hell will freeze over sooner.
Exactly
The media wont touch that can of worms.
they would implode with the concept of blacks being racist bigots
(All the chaos in Africa started when colonial control was handed over to the natives in the 60's)
Handed over to the wrong natives... communist run countries outside of Africa are a few missteps away from a meltdown themselves. I never understood why commies always seemed to be picked, but oh well. Why do people still elect Ted Kennedy? Life's mysteries.
