Since I’ve seen no accounts of Europeans finding starving Africans in Zimbabwe when they arrived, the question is this: how were Zimbabweans feeding themselves before white men areived?

Asking white farmers to come back isn’t the answer and it won’t help matters. It’ll only set the stage for another expulsion of whites from the land at a later date. They need to figure it out on their own.

Smart? Yeah...except that white farmers have to eat the food too. They’re gonna poison themselves?

Contrary to what you might think, Zimbabweans aren’t dumb. If there was an attempt to poison them, they’re GONNA find out. And then they’ll murder every white person in the country.

You’d better come up with a better idea. Geez. SMH

Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) became independent from Britain after a nearly 20 year long war of independence, which led to Mugabe coming in.

Northern Rhodesia (Zambia), OTOH, became independent from Britain peacefully and without a hitch.

Zambia is not doing that great now but it is doing considerably better than Zimbabwe is. Its government, while admittedly crappy by western standards, looks quite good compared to Zimbabwe's. It's at least politically and economically stable.

Something went right in Northern Rhodesia that didn't in Southern Rhodesia.

Yeah, ok...give Mugabe an FU. Then what? They can’t afford land lots anywhere near that size elsewhere. If they could, they wouldn’t have went on a homocidal rampage trying so hard to keep Rhodesia in the first place.

These are English/British people. What? They’re gonna go back to England and farm like they did in Zimbabwe? LMAO! Nope. They’re farmers, and they don’t know how to do anything else, and they’ve got nowhere else to farm.

Well.....

I feel bad for the average Zimbabwean.

They appointed a crook to lead them who destroyed the economic infrastructure of the country while enriching himself, his family and cronies. A leader who has been accused of crimes against humanity and who is now forbidden to travel to almost any western country. Yet Mugabe isn't going anywhere.

And as a result, they are now starving to death and no solution on the horizon. The great experiment based on race, failed.

I didn't even realize how bad it continues to be in South Africa. Last year had more farmer murders than the year prior.

Race has nothing to do with it. This is all on Mugabe, who is clearly a piece of you know what. He cares nothing for his people, and this is the result. Now look at the black ran country of Botswana. Their economy is going up every year....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Botswana

Once again, race has nothing to do with it. The main thing that makes a country rich, is good trade. Who is trading with Zimbabwe?

LMAO...you don’t feel bad for any Zimbabwean. Give it a rest.

Since when do you folks care about people appointing crooks to lead them? Please! Your government has appointed crooks to lead people all over the world, including Africa. Mobutu in the Congo was one of the biggest crooks and murderers of all time, and he was our man. We killed his predecessor just so we could put the guy in power. Gimme a break.

There would’ve never been a Mobutu if white Rhodesians hadn’t tried to subjugate and humiliate native Zimbabweans on their own soil with their own home grown version of Apartheid. What Mugabe did was stupid, but certainly a natural reaction to decades of white dominance.

BTW...Rhodesia was an experiment based on race, but you most certainly approved of that one, didn’t you? Well, it failed too, so at least your point is consistent. LOL
