cont'd ...the one mistake mugabe made was kicking out the white farmers, yes, they were a minority, but as stated above even the majority must look out for the interests of a minority, because in this case the minority created over 90% if not more of zimbabwe's GDP. had he left the farmers alone he would not only be in power, but his country would be rich, because after eithiopia zimbabwe was the next biggest producer of foodstuffs on the african contenent.

yes the white farmers had control of the land, but atleast the natives of that country had employment and got paid for it, atleast that country had an income, if mugabe had let them be, and told them the land now belongs to me, what he should have done is charged the white farmers a lease untill such time as said farmer retired and or left the land then it could be claimed back. NATO wouldnt have got involved. but too late for that,
