When he set out to evict the white farmers, did he put any black Zimbabweans in school to train them to take over these farms? What about business administration majors to sustain/bring in more contracts? Better still who got these farms that are being restored to the black Zimbabweans? Why is all the media in Zimbabwe government run and anyone who tries to speak out is shut down? The people who are campaigning for Mugabe...why aren't they in Zimbabwe? It's easier to sit here with a cup coffee from Starbucks and say Mugabe is being demonized by the West, we support him. Tell that to people who have to queue up for days to get bread. Chloe,

The people who are campaigning for Mugabe…why aren’t they in Zimbabwe? It’s easier to sit here with a cup coffee from Starbucks and say Mugabe is being demonized by the West, we support him. Tell that to people who have to queue up for days to get bread.

Anything short of handing Zimbabwe back to Britain will be demonized. By the way, the Movement for Democratic Change, Mugabe's main opposition group, is financially backed and armed by Britain and the US. They're still using the same tactics to get us to turn on one another and unfortunately, they're still working.

He left himself wide open for criticsm biased or unbiased! Please read the link to this article (from 2003) about how his wife spends Zimbabwean money in Paris http://www.newzimbabwe.com/pages/shopper.1156.html And I can bet you he's got mansions tucked away in England, Paris and in the U.S as well!!

Chloe is right about the biased reporting of the situation - the leader of the country, whether he is handling the situation correctly or incorrectly - is obviously tired of things as they are. He is doing SOMETHING - just something that other nations don't like.

Granted, their hostility is to be expected with Mugabe stripping Britain of their colonial holdings and returning them to the Zimbabwean people. Their stories are deliberately remiss in mentioning that Zimbabwe's economic crisis is due to the severe economic sanctions Western nations have exacted upon that country and not a result of abject incompetence on the part of Mugabe. If the US faced the degree of import/export restrictions leveled against Zimbabwe, we'd be in the midst of an economic crisis too.
