Thanks Buddy
Mugabe has got to be the worst President of any post-colonial country in Africa and the neighbouring countries of South Africa, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambiqa and Botswana must be just as bad as they won't say anything to ZANU-PF or Mugabe.
The International Community sit and wring their hands and do nothing and say about never allowing this kind of thing to happen again - but it IS happening again - NOW.
I haven't been to Zims since 1975, Rhodesia it was called then: 32 years ago and what a beautiful, peaceful country it was then; everyone - black and white were well fed, well educated, medical services the best in Africa, employment very high - and pay too.
No apartheid that I know of; they couldn't import things after sanctions, but it made them stronger and more innovative at making things and at this very difficult time, they were feeding all the neighbouring countries as well as their own.
The only thing they didn't have, was the vote and this was exploited by Russia and China.
Glad to hear your friends got out safely, but as you say, they now have the hard-time of starting afresh, albeit free.
I hope your brother-in-law's family are safe and his extended family.
May God bless the people of Zimbabwe and allow them to be free of ZANU-PF and Mugabe.
