Mugabe got off easy
- Thread starter Johnnny
- Start date
More of a worry is how Zimbabwe will fare under Emmerson Mnangagwa, an ally-turned-enemy of Mugabe - will he usher in a new era of freedom and democracy or will he try and continue just as it was under Mugabe, with Britain eventually having to invade and rule the country again to make things better?
The trouble is tribalism is something the Rhodes/balkanization types know genocidally well enough:
The brits used it to conquer the area in the first place
(remember when they invented concentration camps?)
Mugabe's replacement, Emmerson Mnangagwais, is said to have ordered the slaughter of up to 20,000 of another tribe.
Nothing has, or really will, change on that score. The tribes or "gangs" will commit genocide when ever they can.
That and "Gawd"
"At first we had the land and they had the bible...
Then they said to close our eyes, and "let us pray", then when we opened our eyes:
WE had the bible and they had the land..."

Rhodesia, as it was called until it gained its independence in 1980 and fell under the Mugabe tyranny, was much better off under British rule than it is now. Under British rule it was the Breadbasket of Africa - now it's an impoverished nation with 90% unemployment and 79.6 billion% inflation.
I was just reading some Boer history
They have a different view
The UK's solution was to set up complex nets of block houses, strong points, and barbed wire fences, partitioning off the entire conquered territory. The civilian farmers were relocated into concentration camps, where very large proportions died of disease,[citation needed] especially the children, who mostly lacked immunities.

Well we see where the nazis learned it
I suppose "disease" is better accepted then "gas ovens" eh?

Maybe from the American concentration camps in the Philippines, or the Spanish ones in Cuba.
