And they had some bloody good soldiers, too.

Not just the mercs, also the Selous Scouts.

But what finished them was international public opinion.

Today, the white population is less than one percent of the population of Zim and it is an older population.

Let any white start an insurrection anywhere in Africa and the whole of Africa will unite against them.

Any crimes committed against the whites will quickly be forgotten or excused.

Any revolt, to succeed, must origiate with and be prosecuted by indigenous peoples with no help from whites or from mercs of any colour.

Western countries such as Britain can exert military force only at the explicit request of an African government, and then only with regional acquiescence.

Clive,

From the looks of your home page, you have or had a stake in that country. If so, I hope the tragedy for you and yours was of a limited nature.

Selous Scouts?

You mean these guys?

I don’t know. They kinda look like pansies to me.

Ha ha ha. I was joking. Don’t take that seriously.

Please!
