(White farmers that have settled successfully in other lands): "No, thank you."

Mugabe is just trying to lure them back so he can kill some more of them.

As the white farmers show up, the govt troops blast them from strategic spots. So when the President gives his next speech, he can say that none of the whites took the offer.

I don't trust this guy at all. Hopefully, the white farmers stay away at least untill he is gotten rid of.

Aha! Time to bring somebody back who know something about raising FOOD!!!

As it was said a while back over here in the states when G.W. was elected, "the adults are back".

These machete-wielding, Marxist thugs actually think the targets of their "revolution" are going to come back and help them out of their death spiral? They're amazingly delusional, but not quite as far gone as anyone who would take them up on the offer, and returns to Zimbabwe.

Sounds to me like Mugabe realizes that the ground must be tilled. Don't worry, once it is tilled and planted he will go back to taking over the land.

If Mugabe had even half a brain, when he ran the white farmers out he would have turned over the farms to their black employees who would know how to farm. Instead he gave the land to his cronies who didn't have the slightest idea what to do.

Imagine Ted Kennedy instituting land reform and giving Iowa to some of his Nantucket drinking buddies.

They're amazingly delusional,...

No, they know that the Western LSM will be on their machete-wielding Marxist side.
