Zimbabwe tells white farmers to leave
7: 03 AM AEST August 20

Zimbabwe's minister for lands told white farmers to immediately leave their property, to make way for black settlers, in an interview with the state-run Sunday Mail.

"Commercial farmers have refused the concept of co-existence, and some of them have even gone on to beat up resettled farmers," Joseph Made told the paper.

"That is unacceptable and we now require all those in areas gazetted for resettlement to pave way for settlers."

The Zimbabwe government has gazetted 5,327 white-owned farms totalling 9.5 million hectares for seizure, or more than 90 per cent of all white-owned land.

Made's statement came after last week's upsurge in violence on farms around the northern town of Chonhoyi, where violent mobs ransacked about 50 white-owned farms.

White farmers have won a Supreme Court ruling that declared the government's resettlement scheme unconstitutional and that ordered police to evict thousands of pro-government militants who have forcibly occupied white farms since February 2000.

President Robert Mugabe's government has ignored the ruling and pushed ahead with his scheme, which aims to redress inequities in land ownership left from the white-minority colonial government.

The farm violence has had a strong political colouring, closely tied to the government's crackdown on dissent ahead of presidential elections due in April.

Mugabe is expected to face his toughest challenge ever from Morgan Tsvangirai, leader of the two-year-old Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).

Ah, I see: Fascism is fine if it's perpetrated by blacks against whites.

I thought all the Liberals on this board would be outraged since a minority (whites in Zimbabwe) is being oppressed.

Didn't say it was right...but it's more like payback is a bitch from an historical perspective.

Since Africa has always had a burgeoning slave trade, perpetrated by blacks against blacks, using your own reasoning above, would you say that Europeans coming to Africa and buying slaves was just paybacks against a people who had been enslaving each other for generations?

and now guess what.....blacks wont be able to run these farms. It has always been the same. Take a look to all these former colonies... a total ruined. Well UN should consider a desert storm stle operation to kick these tribal bastards out....

Sure, but since Africans have been doing this capturing and enslaving of each other for centuries, that issue gets a little more complex.
I don't know of any history of Blacks enslaving Whites in large numbers occuring anywhere. Anyone?

Didn't say it had anything to do with slavory either.

Just oppression by the ruling class is all...white, black, yellow, pink. I don't care.
