Zimbabwe's Mugabe: 'We will not prosecute killers of white farmers

Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has said that people who murdered white farmers during a government-sanctioned purge in the 2000s will never be prosecuted.

The 93-year-old president addressed a rally in Harare on Monday to mark Heroes’ Day, which commemorates soldiers who have fought for the country, particularly in its independence war against British colonizers.

Zimbabwe implemented a controversial land reform program in 2000 that saw squatters invade and seize hundreds of white-owned farms around the country. The violent seizures resulted in the murder of several white farmers, with many more displaced, and close associates of Mugabe given large chunks of land.

So going into Africa and trying to civilize savages produced savages who hate Whites. They should have been left the way they were, with bones in their noses.

African countries that were colonized have the appearance of civilization: a parliament, a president, general elections, a school system, the language of the colonizer. But they still kill each other.

When will Whitey get it? Tried to civilize Africans. Failed. Tried to civilize M*slims. Failed. Tried to bring democracy to m*slim countries in the “arab spring.” Failed.

Another Trump foreign policy doctrine should be issued: The USA will not send food to countries that kill their farmers.

The problem with sending aid to places like that, for the most part, seems to be, that the head cheese and his minions get the good stuff and there’s barely anything left for the innocents.

Africa wins again.

All Mugabe did was make his policy official. It was obvious this is how it worked.

How about people who help Mr. Mugs himself have an accident? I seriously wonder if they would get a similar amnesty.

Since the Mugster is basically a mafia don with UN membership who holds power over the other Zim gangsters by sheer terror, you can bet he has internal enemies of diverse races and tribes. He may have about as many people sad at his passing as Lavrenti Beria, Stalin's chief of the secret police (NKVD), the regular police, and of a small private army--the most feared and hated tyrant, torturer, rapist, and moral monster in a country that had a great many competitors for that distinction.

As soon as Stalin died in 1953, Khrushchev (the Communist Party Secretary) convened a meeting of all the top Party brass, including Beria. All at the meeting ludicrously accused Beria of collusion with British intelligence (does that ring a bell, snowflakes?) and plotting to turn Russia capitalist.

The official account is that Beria was immediately arrested, put through a show trial, and shot six months later. But others say that every man sitting at the meeting pulled his sidearm on cue and took Beria out on the spot, so that he couldn't escape and take his horrible revenge--and that they made up the "trial" scenario so that things would look as legal as anything ever is in Russia.

Did you ever read, Sic semper tyrannis, Mugs? It's a matter of time.

The whites need to revolt and overthrow that tyrant. If they kill a black man trying to kill them they go to jail.

It’s news because the news companies (The media(tm)) want to make white people angry so that they can spark a civil war and sell papers and ad space.

We’re being baited, and have been since the mid 60s.

Catherine Buckle.

She was a white Zimbabwean whose farm was overrun by "war veterans" (squatters). She wrote extensively about the siege, eventually having to abandon the farm and flee the country.

IIRC, she was sympathetic to the black cause until the invasion changed her attitude.

Zimbabwe’s Mugabe: ‘We will not prosecute killers of white farmers

I think he copied this from Obama and Holder. So shouldn’t that read;

Obama/Holder: ‘We will not prosecute killers of whites.’

Have black farmers robustly succeeded in restoring a functional agricultural sector?””””

ABSOLUTELY NOT !!!

Before 2000, Zimbabwe grew enough food that they exported to other African countries and still had plenty for their own people.

Now, Zimbabwe must IMPORT over 97% of their daily needs.

It will take a complete overthrow ob Mugabe to clean this up & restore the farms.
