"Must we allow these men, the two unholy men of our millennium, who in the same way as Hitler and Mussolini formed [an] unholy alliance, form an alliance to attack an innocent country?" Richard Mugabe left Harare Zimbabwe on friday last to attend as chief of state the 60th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), a United Nations agency which is meeting in Rome at the moment. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5How could Mugabe say such things? Oh well, they protested his visit in the strongest terms, he ought not be let out of Zimbabwe. & by his side was Chavez. Well what can one expect? Chavez just expelled American christian missionaries from Venezuala to mark Colombus day. He's anti-american. Only an "anti-american" could say that the whole world is threatened by the "north american empire".
the Zimbabwean state media coverage:-

I spent last night watching videos of Fidel Castro.
40 years of speeches and interviews in 6 hours, including those very rare moments when he spoke english. The most memorable being on his way to the UN to speak as the leader of the "non-aligned" group of nations. Whatever one thinks of Cuba and the Cubans and their suffering now, or what or who Castro was / is / has come, some of those words which were so often delivered in defiance of the "north american empire" still stir. Castro's oratory relied on a theatrical device, which began in the 1950s. He would pause and adjust the microphones, moving one a little and looking at it. Then move to offer the audience a side profile and punctuate his speech with the usual triplets. The oratory changes, some would say demogoguery changes, revolutions run sour, some would say they are stopped by the imperialists. But the words of fine speeches remain the same. Chavez probably does with his weekly "hola presidente!" TV program the same things to the minds of venezualans, as those first revolutionaries of the 1960s did to Cubans. He is "starting out".
Castro is a bit like Mugabe, for many he is a dinosaur. One who remains though his fight belonged to another age. One who's people have suffered more under the "revolution" than the "empire". Castro remains (as ridiculous as it sounds) because he survived. = He defied the Yankee and lived. What's the secret with Mugabe? Why is Mugabe still the sole voice of the discontent african statesman? I had thought in this year of G8 Africa! summits and speeches to get an answer. Are there enough discontent africans with "anti-american" and "anti-british" sentiments to warrent Mugabe?

Joshua Nkomo would have been a Just leader. Mugabes another in a Far too long line of african tinpot dictators living high on the backs of the masses.
Zimbabwe(Then Rhodesia) was Pre-Mugabe considered the Breadbasket of Africa. It regulalry exported foodstuffs, and no Zimbabweans were starving, today it is far different.
Now you see waht Idi Amin looked like before the Massive killings to come
