The Chinese will find Zimbabwe is now a much more favorable business climate to extract resources. Not that they had a hand in this or anything....
It was resign or die cleaning a gun
I wonder if he is even still alive. They may trot out a body double for a few photo ops, but I have a feeling he is dead.
Now, will the ‘new Boss’ be the same as ‘the old Boss’?...................
Thank you for posting. Hope things improve for the white minority in that Mugabified dump.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the good news that it ought to be. It isn’t as though Ian Smith’s Rhodesia will be restored anytime soon. Rather, Zimbabwe will get more of the same (or perhaps even worse) with Mugabe’s thuggish former ex-VP and right-hand-man Emerson Mangangwa in charge of the country. The only reason Mangangwa turned on his former leader is that Mugabe pushed him out to make room for his wife as heir to the throne.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Sadly, what comes next might not be much of an improvement.
Trump went on a trip around the globe and the events in his wake are not just a coincidence. People of nations long abused by corrupt leaders are listening to Americans.
He’ll be replaced with another dictator who will steal from the country to enrich himself.
So a presidential slot has opened up. Go for it, Hillary! If you can’t be the first woman US president, perhaps you can be the first woman Zimbabwean president.
Then again, Hillary’s corruption might be too much for even Zimbabwe to swallow.
For years I have asked my Ethics students whether it was better to be Patrick Tillman or Robert Mugabe, since Tillman did everything ethically right and ended up broke and then dead, while Mugabe did everything ethically wrong and ended up very rich, with a trophy wife, and running a country for over 30 years. (In Christian classes I would add that Tillman died an atheist and Mugabe is a baptized Catholic, so at least, if Catholicism is correct, Mugabe will get to heaven after going through Purgatory.) It was a little like the Kobayashi-Maru exercise in Star Trek. I’ll have to find someone else to take Mugabe’s place now.
Now, if they change the name of the country back to “Rhodesia”...
Soon Robert can say hi to Charles Manson in hell !
It was Enoch Powell who said that every political career not interrupted by premature death ends in failure.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Anyone really think the new thug will be any better than the old thug?
such a sad day for the United Nations!
Unprecedented? A dictator stepping down? Maybe not this first time. Obama, the Dictator, stepped down.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
