It became a mess when they kicked the whites out!
You need to look at what was once called Rhodesia.
Rhodesia does not exist anymore.
It's called Zimbabwe.
I know you hark back to colonial days but keep up.
You suffer in the area of perception, it's limited to what the people you respect have told you as opposed to finding your own knowledge and understanding. Your information concentrates on the end result and my observations speculate on the cause.
In many ways your opinion on Zimbabwe is like the ref who catches the end of the play and call the foul based on what you saw.
I on the other hand have seen the play develop and saw the first elbow thrown.
Africah has the biggest stores of
Gold and diamonds
Oil
Cocoa
Timber
Not to mention Iron, Platinum, Uranium, Chromium. Hell even Cement is exported from Egypt and Morocco.
Because Africa is one of the most diverse geological continents, and has very rich soils. Places like South Africa produces a lot of cars (like the Ford Mondeo, Focus and Fiesta)Wool, Beef, Sheep, Goats, Milk, Dry Grains (wheat, rice etc.) are all widely exported from Africa.
Black people in Africa had to fight a long civil war for their freedom, and now they are being fought tooth and nail by the international community for wanting to take back the soil that is rightfully theirs. This is what has happened every time that a black nation has sought independence.
Patrice Lumumba, one of the greatest black leaders to emerge in this century, was killed by the Belgians with the aid of US, so that the white international community could get the puppet government that they wanted in the Congo.
The constant interference on the part of certain powerful Flemmish interests are the principle reasons for all of the power struggles in the history of the Congo and the bloody civil war which is raging on now. The reason that black nations have not been able to prosper is the constant interference from outsiders who are still eager to exploit them.
As for Zimbabwe. In the early 1900s, African agriculture competed head to head with white settler farmers.
Africans taught the Europeans famings and other stuff.
However, in 1915, whites stole (By force) more of the high potential land and initiated a new form of taxation to suppress the indigenous competition. The result of this was that the Africans were forced to work as labourers to the white farmers.
Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980.
Part of the talks was the
Lancaster House Agreement, which provided that from 1980 to 1990, a fund provided by Britain would be used to buy land from those white settlers who could not, in effect, STAND being ruled by black Zimbabweans.
What the agreement ACTUALLY DID was PROTECT white farm owners from redistribution of their land.
Britain never had any intention to let go of the farmland.
The commercial farms were a reliable source of raw material for British factories; profits from commercial farming were repatriated to motherland; and so were the profits from white-owned industries set up by proceeds from commercial farming.
Not surprisingly, in the years following Independence, Britain released the money to the Zimbabwean government in dribs and drabs and the situation was not helped by white farmers who were setting ridiculously high prices for their farms, and invariably offered barren, infertile and disused farms.
The Mugabe government put the economic and social interests of the majority African population of Zimbabwe ahead of the interests of others. This government clearly stands out as a Black man's Government.
White supremacists are not angry because they think Mugabe is a corrupt dictator. White supremacists sponsor corrupt dictators when it suits them. White supremacists are not angry whether or not ordinary Zimbabweans are suffering under Mugabe. They don't care about ordinary Zimbabweans.
The are TWO reasons why Mugabe is so hated.
1) The Whites Loss Of Land And Power
He put land Reform on the political and economic agenda, thus an international campaign of vilification has been waged against Mugabe. The deep hyper-inflation ravaging their economy is because they starve for foreign exchange because Zimbabwe dared to try to return some of the vast, stolen land-holdings to Zimbabweans, since then the U.S, Britain, IMF, World Bank have waged a relentless economic almost psychotic war against the country.
Tony Blair was going to go to war with Zimbabwe
2) Mineral Wealth
UK and America control most of the huge mineral reserves in Zimbabwe. Britain want FULL control of the vast mineral resources like diamonds, gold, platinum, copper which Africa has in abundance and which is virtually all in the hands of western owned companies like Anglo American, SHELL, BP.
Mr. Mugabe's Pro-Nationalist policies go against their HUGE interest. This is why they were so angered at the elections in Zimbabwe to the point where they went to the UN to try to freeze Mugabe's assets and prevent him from traveling from over seas, they failed. Russia and China voted against it. Britain and the USA want their own puppet dictator, who they can pay off, so he will go along with their wishes. It’s all a carefully scripted plan to protect their huge mineral wealth in Zimbabwe and Africa in general.
Now let me answer the two main criticisms white people have of Mugabe
1) "You Know...Er....Just Leave The Farms With Us, Because....Er...Well. We're Better At Running Them And You Guys Are Hopeless....Everyone Knows"
The Land Reform Programme has already resettled over half a million Zimbabweans. A further 100,000 are to be resettled on commercial farms. The prospect for the year 2017 is that food production is set to double.
People who were once landless and living in poverty are now supporting themselves and growing their own food. A general increase in all agricultural outputs is also expected.
It is this prospect of a government successfully meeting the economic and social needs of a large section of its population that is causing anxiety in the imperialist capitals. If one government can do it, so can others and remember this was achieved as Britain,US,World Bank and the IMF embarked on a campaign of economic destabilisation to wreck the Zimbabwean economy
2) “He’s Taken The Land By Force And He Is Killing White People”
Fact is it is a matter of record that although 95% of the white farmers have received notice to quit the land all have received compensation. In point of fact, the new law passed by the Zimbabwe Parliament addresses the issue of some farmers having as many as 20 farms, some of which they have left to rot, while Africans are left with nothing.
You see, Britain FEAR Mugabe because they believe that if he is successful then other indigenous people of Southern Africa, will want their looted and stolen property back from the white European thieves. In S.AFRICA, since freedom, little or no LAND REFORM of any great significance has taken place, and the same in BOTSWANA, ZAMBIA, and NANIBIA. This is what the IMPEARLIST fear the most.
Education doesn't equal intelligence, intelligence doesn't equal knowledge, knowledge doesn't equal understanding, and understanding doesn't equal wisdom.
Observe, find you own understanding outside the books, or even other people.
Calling me a black radical is the ultimate compliment,cause that means I'm blazing my own path, long as I keep moving, its all good.
