#2 Ok, so the whole country has gone to hell since ZimBob took over. Look on the bright side. At least the people are no longer being oppressed and brutalized by their evil, white colonial masters.

#4 I wonder if it hurts as much when the boot kicking you in the head is on a black foot instead of a white one...

#5 tu...no it doesn't, because all you can feel is sympathy. Sympathy for the frustration and root causes that caused the black one to kick you. It doesn't hurt at all.

#6 "Police Chief Superintendent Oliver Mandipaka said Monday that 9,653 people have been arrested".
Off to the rural entertainment camps for our Youth Militia with them, then.

And you got to hand it to their CIO Psy-Ops team when they name their "Ops". Operation "Clear Out Rubbish" says it all. Just not "when"!

They also had Ghukurahundi, early 1980's, "The Wind that Cleans", when Korean trained 5th Brigade (Shona), slaughtered many Matabeles, and reduced the survivors to eating leaves from the trees and grass.
And now the tourism industry collapses as they shoot all the game for food, whilst the dams silt up and the Kalahari encroaches, but, never mind, we'll buy some old Chinese aeroplanes in exchange for crops we don't have. Is there a plan?

#7 Its clear things are about to get a lot worse in Zimbabwe and I can't see an end, short of South Africa invading and removing Mugabe.
