Change has already come to that tragic country. It wasn't a change for the better. That is the trap the gullible and idealistic and the would-be revolutionaries fall into when they find fault with their present society - change is relatively easy; change for the better takes a little more than high ideals and carefully fostered resentment of the status quo.
What astonishes me - that's no exaggeration - is the degree to which ostensibly intelligent people are willing to ignore the obvious disaster and its obvious cause. Rhodesia has been given over to ignorance and hatred, thugs, parasites, and party functionaries who would benefit greatly from the bullet in the back of the head that they have so liberally prescribed for their enemies. Instead an international community too squeamish to watch the children who they condemned to it to starve , and too cowardly to name a political doctrine false and racist, will continue to prolong that country's agony and congratulate itself on its own moral superiority for doing so.
Reminds one just how thin is the veneer of civilization and how shallow the intentions of do gooders.
....What you said.
Needs repeating....
