Seems to be the Pan-African way... Thugism or Communism. Then when it all goes to sht... they blame it on white-colonialism. When a country rich in recources can't feed its people because of a corrupt, jackbooted thug... the first line of business is to eliminate the thug and the swine who back him.
Should the thug have sufficient numbers to set off a civil war... then so be it.
Yes, but the problem is that the winner of such a civil war will be either a) Mugabe or b) someone even worse.
