Supposedly Mugabe pawned most of the country to Libya for “free” oil. Supposedly everything was hocked even govt buildings. This is where Obama wants to go. His old man as a economic minister in kenya was such a success.

Imagine that! China is bailing out a country ruled by an African socialist dictator who is destroying his own currency by printing money like there’s no tomorrow, while running up enormous debts! What are they thinking?

China is trying to take control of the entire south african continent. They sure have enough people to move in and take over. Especially Zimbabwe because they are starving to death.
