White Farmers Reject Mugabe Plea To Return (Zimbabwe)

The only white farmers left are the liberal whites that aided Mugbe to take over.. They deserve MORE than will get.. They deserve Zero commpassion..

[CurlyBill]

"I would love to go back but the economy's in ruins. The place is a shambles. So many professional people have left. It would need a new regime before most of us would think seriously about going back."

No surprise here. The savage thugs take over the entire country and turn it into a cesspool.

[Enterprise]

"Okay, Mugabe asked them nicely to return, and they refused."

Oh now you've done it. You've done the MSM's work for them. The evil white farmers were politely asked to come back and they refused. Blacks will starve to death in Zimbabwe and the MSM will label the white farmers as greedy genocidal racists! And all because YOU pointed it out first! (smirk)

Send them a boat load of loin cloths, spears and some cattle dung to put in their hair.

Then send them, Nelson Mandela, Koffi Anan and our "Black Caucus" to tell them all once again about bad it was to live with those whites and the evils of Apartheid.

The change was coming but the politicians from other countries had to meddle and have it overnight.

The formerly successful farmers bring knowledge and experience. What do Mugabe and his thugs bring to the table?

The incentive to work as a slave on their own land for the ones actually dumb enough to go back to Zimbabwe. As in rounding up their families and putting them in some gulag, and then telling the farmers "make this farm produce, or watch us rape and murder your wife and children."

White man seen the big cooking pots and said no thanks.

[sionnsar]

mugabe really is a black hitler. you wont see it in the press

To the press and the UN, blacks are still an inferior human species, their plight not worthy of comment.

[cgbg]

The white farmers should make a deal--they will return if Mugabe and his hundred closest advisors form a circular firing squad and kill each other.

[decal]

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, I wind up dead..

[RWCon]

First, bring back Ian Smith.

[shield]

Yes...these fools went in harvested the white mans crops had a large return. Then when it was their time to step up to the plate to grow crops they all miserably failed. They've also destroyed the land...w/out proper care for the land...the land will not bear any crop/fruit whatsoever. We white folks knew this was coming....how quickly it came.

[Unam Sanctam]

I feel a rather sinful schadenfreude over this...

[mmercier]

>> The only salvation will be a change of government and a return to the rule of law.


Salvation is the UN, they will bail them out with "unconditional" food aid, to be delivered directly to the Mugabe regime and sold throughout south and equatorial Africa via well worn black market routes.

The "problem" will then evaporate in the media, and the new "problem" will be famine in Zimbabwe in a few years.

So it goes.

[nightdriver]

I expect the good ol' liberal U.S. to step in one of these days and flood the place with our taxpayer's money and food.

If left to it's own devices, Zimbabwe would become Matabeleland again, just like it was when ol' Cecil Rhodes found it in the 1890s, with about 500,000 subsistence-farming population instead of the 15,000,000 it has today.

[bannie]

The term "joint venture" in this makes my skin crawl.

That's the term that got me too. "Joint venture"???? What in the hell is that????

Hey, whitebread! Get back here and fix our destruction and give us the credit. You owe us.

VOMITOCIOUS!!!

[tyen]

There is an even worse outcome from all this. I bet that liberals around the world will pony up donations when Zimbabwe starts to really hit the skids and famine start to stack up corpses like cordwood. And prolong the misery of what used to be the breadbasket of Africa.

They have fouled their own nest. The kindest thing the world can do for this nation gripped by the viral infection of collectivism is to not lift a finger to help, let the nation catastrophically collapse inward upon itself, and thoroughly document the ugly aftermath as a lesson for all future aspiring followers of tyrants that promise riches from looting.

[Chode]

they are savages... not even animals to this to each other!!! WARNING it's not for a weak stomach...

We can send Koffi over to run that place! THEN TAKE AWAY THE THIEF'S PASSPORT!!

[Rocky]

If this was a script for a movie, we would guess it was a collaboration of Monty Python and Woody Allen. What's heartbreaking is that this stuff is actually happening.

[ColdSteelTalon]

A farmer that had his land stolen from the regime or its thugs would be insane to go back there, and risk thier lives again.
