Zimbabwe was once known as the bread basket of Africa. The coming man made disaster is going to change human history.
I know a committee is horrible at running things... But I think 140,000 FReepers can run a country better than most of the world's leaders. ;-)
Zimbabwe is rapidly changing from the bread basket to the basket-case.
What the hell is the UN doing to stop the up-coming disaster in that country?
A Section 8 order. How appropriate.
Mugabee is a socialist. They will stand back, do nothing and blame the U.S. or global warming or something like that when this reaches critical mass.
Is this a Zimbabwe ping list, If so I'd like to be on it. Thanks.
I bet Mugabe is a Kerry fan like all the other socialists.
Zimbabwe is a classic case of a nation the UN should be moving on.
If the UN ignores the impending tragedy, as it seems to be doing, I've no idea why any civilzed nation would continue to support it.
Socialists hate religion especially christianity.
Before Zimbabwe's independence in 1980, the Catholic Church built schools and hospitals at farms it owned across the country to provide education and health care services to blacks who were marginalised by the country's former white rulers.
*** Interesting. I suppose he doesn't want any of the children to get educated. How Leopold-esque of Mugabe. Kick out the missionaries! Not that the Rhodesian government liked them being there either but they let them stay.
It's time to pull the plug on Africa.
Now that its under home (thugs, dictators, etc) rule its under a quick drop into its own dark age. Its time to quit sending money and just let them fight it out.
When millions die off from war and starvation, the population is weary of war and they have no food or money then maybe they will want to join the civilized world.
South Africa is next in line for the starvation train.
No the Sudan is a nation where the UN should move in and they're not. And if they're ignoring the Sudan, what makes Zimbabwe so special? The Great Dyke? I don't think anyone really cares about Zimbabwe because there's nothing there for people. So they think but Zimbabwe is rich in natural resources but only the Red Chinese have figured that out apparently.
Religion is a tool for socialists, to be used when needed to de disgarded when it becomes an encumbrance to the cause.
This is just my own opinion, but I do believe that a faith rooted in God through christian education enables a person to be free. It helps a person to be upwardly mobile and exploring his/her life. That's why socialists hate it, but then they hate ANYTHING relating to any mode of worship or spiritual practice that hints at independence. Look at Falun Gong in China. Incidentally, when I talk to old people who used to live in places in Zimbabwe, they used to hate christian missionaries because it made 'certain' people too educated and gave them grand ideas.
When Africa has wrecked itself, the Muslims will move in.
Muslim nations are in Africa. It's just a matter of time before wahabi islam moves down from the North.
I include the northern counties in Africa also.

So now it's in the hands of the country's new black rulers.
