Re: Mugabi
One thing which no one has mentioned is the fact that Mugabe did not gain independance for Zimbabwe from Britain , the guy who brought independance to Rhodesia/Zimbabwe was Ian Smith . All Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo did was lead a bunch of killer marxist thugs armed by the Chinese, Russians and North Koreans . The same folks who shot down a civilian airliner carrying women and children and then machine gunned the surviving passengers . And what did the British Govt. do ? ....sod all ....so much for Harold Wilson and his famous at the time speech about our "kith and kin" .
Britain abandoned Rhodesia/Zimbabwe at the time of UDI in 65 , when Smitty took over, the bush war followed , with thousands being killed on both sides till 79 when a settlement between Ian Smith's Govt. and the Zanu/Zapu forces was reached.
Definatly not one of Britains finest hours
