Rule #1: Use enough gun |
He single-handedly destroyed one of "richest" countries on earth when it comes to natural resources. It will likely never recover. His death is a cause for celebration. https://www.foxnews.com/world/...-zimbabwe-dead-at-95 Robert Mugabe, the controversial president of Zimbabwe who was forced to resign in 2017 after decades in power, has died at age 95. "It is with the utmost sadness that I announce the passing of Zimbabwe's founding father and former President, Cde Robert Mugabe," Mnangawa wrote on Twitter. "Cde Mugabe was an icon of liberation, a pan-Africanist who dedicated his life to the emancipation and empowerment of his people. His contribution to the history of our nation and continent will never be forgotten. May his soul rest in eternal peace." Mnangagwa's statement did not provide details of Mugabe's death. Family members also confirmed the death to the BBC, that news agency reported. Reuters reported that Mugabe died in Singapore, where he had previously undergone medical treatment in recent years. In November, Mnangagwa said Mugabe was no longer able to walk when he was in Singapore for medical care -- but Mnangagwa did not specify why Mugabe was being treated, according to Reuters. Officials often said publicly that Mugabe was treated for a cataract, and denied reports that he had prostate cancer, the report said. In August, Fox News reported that Mugabe had been hospitalized in Singapore four months earlier. A photo tweeted in August showed Mugabe with his son, Robert Mugabe Jr. Mnangagwa claimed at the time that Mugabe "could be released soon." In May, Mugabe announced plans to place as many as 30 vehicles as well as farm equipment up for auction, suggesting financial problems for the family. Mugabe took power in Zimbabwe after white minority rule ended in 1980. He blamed Zimbabwe's economic problems on international sanctions and once said he wanted to rule for life. But growing discontent about the southern African country's fractured leadership and other problems prompted a military intervention, impeachment proceedings by the parliament and large street demonstrations for his removal. The announcement of Mugabe's Nov. 21, 2017 resignation after he initially ignored escalating calls to quit triggered wild celebrations in the streets of the capital, Harare. Well into the night, cars honked and people danced and sang in a spectacle of free expression that would have been impossible during his years in power and reflected hopes for a better future. Mugabe's decline in his last years as president was partly linked to the political ambitions of his wife, Grace, a brash, divisive figure whose ruling party faction eventually lost out in a power struggle with supporters of Mnangagwa, who was close to the military. Despite Zimbabwe's decline during his rule, Mugabe remained defiant, railing against the West for what he called its neo-colonialist attitude and urging Africans to take control of their resources, a populist message that was often a hit even as many nations on the continent shed the strongman model and moved toward democracy. Mugabe enjoyed acceptance among peers in Africa who chose not to judge him in the same way as Britain, the United States and other Western detractors. Toward the end of his rule, he served as rotating chairman of the 54-nation African Union and the 15-nation Southern African Development Community; his criticism of the International Criminal Court was welcomed by regional leaders who also thought it was being unfairly used to target Africans. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." -- George W. Bush | ||

I can't find the exact quote, but something like "I don't wish death upon anyone, but some obituaries I read with great pleasure." Today is one of those days. "The Truth, when first uttered, is always considered heresy." | |||

If ever given the chance, I'd drop trou and fertilize his grave. Mugabe and his GDC brothers aided and abetted by President Carter and his fellow travelers and too bloody long a list of like-minded Brits to type out on my phone, looted Rhodesia, utterly destroying the country. The destruction of the country led to destruction of the will of the people to do more than beg, and so there was an increased reliance on international charity. Now the people exist much as the welfare queens of America, utterly dependent on an EBT card. I hope Mugabe enjoys the company of those on the seventh circle of Hell.

Wont shed a tear for that POS. And I was never so disappointed in a US president then I was with Reagan when he had that fuck come to the White House and shook his hand and praised him, saying it was a "great honor" to have him in the White House. | |||

Was listening to the radio this AM and the talk radio host was saying that Hell will have a big welcoming party for him, Mugabe being like royalty there. The country of Rhodesia used to feed a lot of Africa and now cant even feed itself.

As bad as he seemed to be, he is typical of the governance in region. Now that he’s dead we’ll have to wait to see if his replacement is any better. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Local liberal TV Station in Raleigh has and on line story speaking of him "liberating" Zimbabwe. More revisionist history and liberal/socialist cover for their kind. | |||

Waiting for the lefties to start heaping praise for his 'pioneering efforts' to destroy places like Rhodesia and South Africa while ignoring his decades long record of abysmal govt leadership and human rights. | |||

https://flashbak.com/on-this-d...f-independence-9557/ Lots of photos and history here. Leaders of African National Congress of Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) Robert Mugabe, left, and Joshua Nkomo were in cheerful mood at a joint press conference they gave in Dar Ea Salaam, Tanzania, on Oct. 9, 1976.  WHITE FARMERS IN RHODESIA 1980: The Mills family of Borrowdale, nr Salisbury, display some of the weapons with which they are prepared to defend their 500 acre poultry farm. They are Gerald Mills (from North Wales), wife Caroline and daughters Daphne (hat, 12) and Vanessa (10). Date: 02/02/1980  ____________________ | |||

Will they put his picture on a Zimbabwe $100,000,000,000 bill? It's an unjust world that lets good people die of, for example, cancer at a young age, but lets this motherfucker live to a ripe old age.  | |||
