Mugabe Hands Out Good Advice (For Once) September 28, 2007

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe’s verbal attack on the leaders of the United States and Britain is a sign of desperation at a time the southern African country’s economic situation remains dire, analysts here said.
Addressing the U.N. General Assembly in New York on Thursday, Mugabe demanded that President Bush and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown keep out of Zimbabwe’s affairs.
“They have no role to play in our national affairs. They are outsiders and should therefore keep out,” he said, adding that Zimbabwe would never again be a “colony.”
I agree. Just get the whites out, and let the country and its people revert to the natural state. Judging from the history of the last several centuries, and the disastrous effects that interfering with black Africa (including chattel slavery and colonialism) has had on American, British and French cities, and their country’s body politic, whites should have never “interfered” to begin with. How does the bumper sticker read? “If I would have known this, I would have picked my own cotton.”
Mugabe also called for an end to economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. and the European Union.
Now that’s contradictory. If Mugabe truly wants non-interference, he shouldn’t mind the sanctions, because they are the ne plus ultra of non-interference by the US and the EU.
