Zimbabwe is the current basket case but the same has happened in Angola, Zaire, Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Eritrea.......the list goes on.

South Africa can be added before much longer. Hmmm, what do most of these countries have in common?

[seatrout]

Every country in sub-saharan Africa (except, maybe, for Botswana) is a prime example of “King Midas in reverse.” Angola, Congo and Zimbabwe (and soon, sadly South Africa) are stellar examples of this.

It is time to re-colonize Africa and exploit their natural resources.

Chinese are busy doing that already!

'Zimbabwe is mine' says Mugabe

LOL, is somebody fighting him for it??

[RJS1950]

Is there something genetic about the blacks in Africa which causes them to want to destroy and pull down that which is beautiful just because the white man built it? Are they racists? Fools? Just naturally warlike? Whatever it is, they have it in spades.

What you list are the outcomes of one frame of mind -- tribalism. They warred and killed each other off before the colonization and when the colonial controls were removed they reverted back to their fight for power. Before colonialism the various tribes made scant use of the natural resources there other than the triving centers of slavery and now that the evil europeans are gone once again making use of their natural resources is secondary to which tribe rules.

Except North Africa,but that’s an extension of the middle east

Mugabe has gone from being a racist nutjob to an anti-human nutjob.

[Cronos]

oh, don’t worry, China and India will colonize Africa soon enough....

If there weren’t so many girly-men in-charge in the world, this monster would be dead by now.

Very good point — the white Zimbabweans are as much a part of the land as the blacks

[Cronos]

Good point — north of the Sahara, Northern AFrica has always been part of the Mediterranean world — right from the time of the CArthaginians and Jugurtha. Ethiopia too has always been part of the wider Eurasian world — they even speak a Semitic language, were mentioned in the OT and NT and are among the first Crhistian nations in the world (along with Armenia) — way before Western Europe.
