Zimbabwe imposed its ban yesterday on production for nearly 3,000 white-owned farms as a leading aid expert said there was "precious little time" left to avoid a devastating regional famine.

The white farmers, who work on the country's most productive acreage, have 45 days before they must surrender their holdings under a land-expropriation bill President Robert Mugabe signed last month.

Actually, its not Governments at work... its supposed to say... Socialists at work.

------------

The white farmers, who work on the country's most productive acreage, have 45 days before they must surrender their holdings under a land-expropriation bill President Robert Mugabe signed last month.

Mr. Gormley said a serious food crisis can be avoided only if aid money and seeds are distributed soon to prepare for the next harvest, in March 2003.

"We continue to support rational, sustainable and equitable land reform in Zimbabwe," Mr. Boucher said. "Very sadly, that's not what's happening."

Wrong Mr. Gormley. What is needed to avoid a food crisis is a suitcase nuke being exploded in the vicinity of Mr. Mug-a-baby. The quote 'land reform' is clearly a ploy to keep Mugababy in power and using the majority of Zims against the minority.

But in your statement of supporting land reform, you are clearly a socialist.

I apologize for my hastiness in providing this story. It is socialists at work, and you are correct. Should we go have a march on their huts to protect the whites?

I would burn down my farm as I left it... Screw those racist communist stooges in the Mugabe dictatorship.

gives affected farmers until Aug. 8 to vacate their properties.

I'd be out by midnight tonight and on a plane for civilization. The quicker they get back to civilization the quicker they can start over.

"Zimbabwe begins ban on farming by whites"

How long will it take the psuedo-country "Zimbabwe" to ban the white farmers from breathing? My guess is it's coming very soon.

And how long will it be before the US, at the urging of the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, will start passing out humanitarian and economic aid to the region using our taxpayer dollars.

And the UN (and especially the US) will bail them out with huge shipments of food. Just wait and see, folks!

No aid for these turkeys..

None.

I say, asylum for the displaced farmers and starvation and death for the rest of the land that time forgot.
