What does it mean? I don't have a dictionary, and the Internet thesarus doesn't have it.
I too fear it will be musicial chairs with guns for a few years after Mugabe.
Tossing someone off or out of a building, I think.
Hang him high.
We need a word for “thrown off of a roof”. “Defenestration” means “thrown from a window”.
Two definitions for the word in Websters Dictionary —> 1) a throwing of a person or thing out of a window 2) a usually swift dismissal or expulsion (as from a political party or office)
There is something fishy about this. Why warn him that you’re going to get him? I hope they do off him, though. What a monster.
How about if they expulsed him from a tall buiding window?
That sounds pretty fitting for this SOB.
My 2 cents: this is a put-up job by Mugabe to justify another purge of the armed forces. If you are a coup plotter, what value is there to telegraphing your intentions?
Peanut brain Former President Jimmy Carter said that Mugabe “exemplifyies the finest aspects of humanity in achieving liberty and justice”

The one unforgivable crime for a socialist despot is to run out of things to steal. Bobby Mugabe isn’t, of course, the only one in Zimbabwe nor will his death or downfall cure the problem. Plenty of his people are perfectly happy with starving literally half of the country so long as their half remains in power. Every time you think it couldn’t get uglier in Zim, it does.
Proof once again that Jimmy Carter is an enemy of human rights.
Better just to kill him with no threats at all.
