Zimbabwe's national security minister has told the country's last remaining white farmers that they will be jailed if they refuse to abide by a deadline that passed over the weekend for them to leave their farms, according to a newspaper report on Monday.

And we all know that Zimbabwe has advanced by leaps and bounds over the last several years./sarc

4 million people need food aid?

Why isn't the number 6 million? Unfortunately the only way zimbabwe is ever going to recover is by crashing first.

Anyone notice that these insane third world dictator types live along time? One would think that Mugabe could have slipped in a bathtub, or been on a chopper when it went down, but ohh no...

Evicted from their own farms for being white? I wonder if Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton will loudly denounce this blatant racism?

[RegulatorCountry]

It wasn't much more than a few months ago, that Mugabe was trying to convince evicted farmers who had fled the country to return and "rent" the farms that were seized from them.

The Guardian (UK) ^ | 1-3-2007 | Christopher Thompson
Zimbabwe poised to welcome back white farmers Christopher Thompson, Harare Wednesday January 3, 2007 Guardian Unlimited (UK) President Robert Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe, which has mounted a six-year campaign to seize white-owned farms, is poised to allow hundreds of white farmers to return to their land as the country faces starvation and economic collapse. "There could be some 300 whites back on farms by the end of next year," Sam Moyo, a government land adviser, told the Guardian. "Most of them will be running commercial farms." Since November, 19 white farmers who lost ownership of their land have been granted...

Nobody cares about white farmers. Not France, England or the Unsited states, and forget entirely the UN.

The White man doesnt amount to squat. Now if this were black farmers the world would be in an uproar like they were when Apartheid was present.

That would be the liberal whites that helped Mugabe take over..
Most ALL the Decent White people left before 2000..
They are getting what they deserve, the white liberals left there...

There is one good thing out of this misery, which affects the starving black populous of Zimbabwe and the white farmers. More ammo to show that angry, Marxist, redistribution, kill white garbage will only lead to more problems. It won't be the last example, but every shred of evidence brings some bit of collective wisdom to the world.

I don't suppose we'll ever hear from Cathie Buckle any time soon.

When the white farmers are all gone these morons are going to
starve to death.

[B4Ranch]

Thanks. I thought I was going nuts. Positive that I remembered that article and now this one says nope all whites must leave.

I would set fire to the farmhouse and barns on my way out.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Just a semantic thing, but these farmers, to their great misfortune, do NOT face an uncertain future. They stay, they'll be killed or imprisoned, more likely killed.

Zimbabwe is suffering its worst economic crisis since independence, with acute shortages of hard currency, food, gasoline, medicines and essential imports.

I thought things were better when the government held everyone's hand?

This lovely character was behind the farm invasions. He actually went by the name of Hitler!

The AIDS infected Chenjerai "Hitler" Hunzvi (October 23, 1949—June 4, 2001) born in Chiminya, a village in the Mashonaland province of Zimbabwe. Hunzvi is remembered for his militant leadership of the War Veterans Association, a group synonymous with Zimbabwe's chaotic land reform programme.
