Zimbabwe: land of the hungry, home of the knave.

"[Mugabe and co.] shall tell the ambassadors that this is not a country which is a piece of Europe."

Living in the past, hmmmmm?

Personally suspect that Mugabe had bad experiences with people of European descent while growing up, and that has led to his antipathy for those of European descent.

Oddly though, he has kept the Germanic name, "Robert." Would have guessed that he would have undergone a name change to something more African.

Mugabe and Socialism turned Zimbabwe from properous to utter poverty.... with the shortest lifespan of any nation on earth.

Its time for Mugabe and the Marxists to max out their evil lifespans.

And what is the test to see if you are European Envoy?

If you have two nickels in your pocket when they ask you to jingle them.....

Ehh, Africa, Mugabe grows fat, and the people grow skinny.
