Before the chaotic and often violent seizures of thousands of white-owned farms in 2000, Zimbabwe was a self-sufficient regional breadbasket and a major exporter of corn.

Mugabe should provide for them. He is the author of the nightmare.

Incompetant Negroes should go back to hunting and gathering.

It's not "negroes", but the particular despot in power in Zimbabwe, Mugabe. To the west lies Botswana, also a black-governed country, which has reportedly higher living standards than South Africa. It's the liberation politics that Mugabe never wanted to let go.

Ah I see. So what is he doing wrong?

Mugabe confiscated all the white farms in the country (that were very productive - it was called the bread basket of Africa) and given it to black people with little or no farming experience.

The rest of the world should not be burdened to feed an SSA population that is starving because of the actions of a tyrant. It sucks for the people that are unfortunate enough to be born there but it isn't fair for the rest of us to provide anything. What should happen is the reconstruction of their government.

[Morena]

I say no. They made their bed, now let them lie in it. Also, no refugees. :no:

Let them starve to death. The world needs less africans.

Oh the Great White Tribe - is nothing strange. Only scattered, never lost in the winds of change. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmwEnfyFTtY)

I agree. I'm fed up with the fact that we have to give them billions of dollars so they can barely survive. They're not colonies any more, they should feed themselves.

[Leto]

They're not colonies any more, they should feed themselves.
Yeah, if they are humans, they should find a solution. Even animals find food for themselves. After all, there is the African Union and similar organizations. The West cannot maintain the whole continent. They'd better take care of themselves.
