Robert Mugabe, the longtime leader of Zimbabwe who was forced to resign in 2017 after a military takeover, has died.
His successor Emmerson Mnangagwa confirmed Mugabes death in a tweet Friday, mourning him as an icon of liberation.
Mugabe was a former guerrilla chief who took power after the end of white minority rule in 1980 and presided over a country whose early promise was eroded by economic turmoil and human rights violations.

“Mugabe was a former guerrilla chief who took power after the end of white minority rule in 1980 and presided over a country whose early promise was eroded by economic turmoil and human rights violations.”
Gotta love the wording of that sentence. Makes it sound like Mugabe just had bad luck once he took over. Classic media rewrite of history.
Hes rotting in hell with the British politicians who put him into power.
Took the breadbasket is Africa and made it so it could not even produce enough fo feed its people...
Another socialist success story
At last he can’t do any more harm.
Sort of like in America when some America hating, white man hating, Christian hating black turkey named O'Bummer became president. Liberalism is to blame for both. Liberalism is the bane of civilization, the enemy of Jesus Christ, and Satan's most valuable tool.
Sort of reminds me of California. This is what happens when liberals take charge.
“One of the worst *&$!@ to ever disgrace this planet.”
He was Idi Amin without the personality.
Oh Bobby, You shoulda been a BJ.
Baltimore leaders he mentored are sorrowful
Mugabe political acolytes leading Philadelphia lit candles
Baltimore is Rodesia
Do you want to see how biased the media is?
Let’s redo this headline:
A.H., ex-leader of Germany, dead...
Try that replacement you see a mass media article about anyone—then you will see the problem.
I spit on this corrupt mass-murderer.
Can anybody name one country where the majority of the pop. is black and is first world ? Where are they better off than in the USA ? Yet they whinge and complain and rob and hate 24/7 !
I hope it hurt.
He had his supporters in this country. Blacks who didn’t believe the press. But then we don’t here.
More proof that Billy Joel was right.
“Only the Good Die Young”.
Not really. The only thing Baltimore can feed are its rodents.
Yes. Bermuda is an excellent example.
Another good example of a prosperous and well-run, BLACK-run country is Botswana. Although they are not yet “first world”, for quite a few years, they have been one of the fastest-developing economies in Africa, and have some of the best infrastructure outside of South Africa. Very low on the corruption index, and also score very highly on human rights. Same challenges as many other African nations, but the difference is that Botswana is actually overcoming them.
>>Why do these dictatorial filth live so damned long?
Because good people let them.
