Zimbabwe

Mugabe is doing to black people what the west has always done by proxy but refuse to confront that guilt and responsibility. Zim used to be called the bread basket of Africa, its core white farmers mobilizing its cheap black labor to grow huge cash-crops and easily feed the country and those around it. Now it's the basket case of Africa, Mugabe allowed to fester there too long as he has outlived his usefulness to the west now the Cold War is long over, the original reason why the British help put him in power. Mugabe is doing what's he's doing because he's knows the west wont do anything to stop him. Even if he had oil, as long as he was doing what we taught ...  Read the complete review

Simple huts, like haystacks, little kids with innocent faces and swollen stomachs, a few chickens, some maize, lots of uncultivated land and distant mountains: Zimbabwe, somewhere between Mutare and Harare. I tried speaking to the bare-foot little kids. They were super polite and super serious looking. Conversation was difficult. Had it been Brazil or Malaysia I could have talked about Princess Diana or Manchester United and they would have smiled. But these Zimbabwean kids, lucky souls, had no TV. The way of life of these people has no doubt been carefully worked out over thousands of years. They know what to grow and how to grow it. They do not ...  Read the complete review
