The smell of blood will soon fill the air.
Well. I'd like to think so, but the Shonas are not typically an agressive tribe. Unless the Zulus of South Africa arm and protect a contingent of a combination of Ndebele/Shona insurgents, I don't see any ZANU-PF blood being shed.
The only blood will be that of the opposition, and as their ranks include the Ndebeles who as a whole do not support Mugabe's ZANU Party, I think they will suffer the Bloodbath as Mugabe seeks to shrink the population to a number that can be fed and loyal to him. I don't have a lot of hope left for Zimbabwe. Even when Mugabe dies, the rest of the ZANU elites are just as bad; if not demented as Mugabe is, the new leader will develop his own case of paranoia.
The problem is that there is no base in an adjoining country from which to launch an insurgency. None of Zimbabwe's neighbors want to have that country as their enemy, as they are the only country, with the exception of South Africa, that is both well armed and with battle experience.
I'd like to see Predators or missiles of some sort, just crash land on the households/heads of every memeber of the ZANU Politburo.
That kind of warfare would prove to be a serious deterrent to many of the problems around the world.
If I was as rich as Soros, I would fund my own Pest Control Army.
I agree with you - Mugabe is Napoleon in this Animal Farm metaphor, and it is the blood of innocents that will be shed.
All in service of the Revolution, and Animal Farm.
