The web link  below may hold the key to understanding some of the facts behind the turmoil in Zimbabwe. Once this is understood, the  distortion and demonization of Robert Mugabe by those fair minded Africans may take another shape.

This is pure land problem similar to that in Kenya, Democratic Republic of Congo and Dafur in which many poor Africans are being slaughtered or forced into tent cities in no man’s land.  If Africans leaders, particularly the youths,  fail to comprehend what is happening  in Zimbabwe, they  will be  accepting the disinformation being promoted by the very people who want to control land in Zimbabwe and  resources everywhere in Sub-Saharan Africa. Sub-Saharan Africans may soon be dominated by rich nations who are hell bent on controlling  that region!  Already, there is AFRICOM forces in the continent. Soon, Africans will be reduced to door keepers in their own land!

Repeat, it is very important that Africans understand facts from both sides of the argument  before passing judgement or giving an opinion. THE LINK BELOW GIVES SOME HIGHLIGHTS.

 **********************
African and Zimbabwean youths must educate themselves about the history of their countries instead of behaving like cows being led to some water hole which may be poisonous. The question is, who should control Zimbabwean land,  Britain with the help of USA or Zimbabweans? This is the question which many Africans leaders must independently tackle  among themselves without being bribed to take distorted view and run amok with it.
