THE TRAGEDY OF ZIMBABWE.
We have many people from Zimbabwe registered on Ctoads! Barns is very disturbed about their tragedy.
What a lovely country ... Zimbabwe was.
What lovely people the Ndebele, the people of Zimbabwe are.
What a tragedy has befallen that lovely country and its people. The thoroughly corrupt president, Robert Mugabe, has destroyed that beautiful country. He is about to be re-elected in yet another sham election. 1,000,000 people have fled Zimbabwe, driven by hunger and despair. And it is not finished yet.
We asked our members from Zimbabwe and we ask you to make a post on this latest African tragedy.
A note of interest to you, who contribute to Ctoads: today, March 18, 2008, ABC finally picked up the real story of Zimbabwe.
WE KNOW THAT VARIOUS NEWS PEOPLE AT ALL NETWORKS READ Ctoads DAILY.
What took them so long? Barns has written about the plight of the people of Zimbabwe months! Barns has written about the inflation rate in Zimbabwe for months: THERE ARE NO LONGER ENOUGH PRODUCTS ON SHELVES TO ACTUALLY COMPUTE THE INFLATION RATE. ABC thinks it is now 100,000% ! Wrong.
I hope you all take a minute to think about this topic. And drop a post on it.

The Ndebele make up only 14% of the population and controlled the country with the support of the White minority left over from when Cecil Rhodes owned the country. The Shona people make up 82% of the population and started getting even when one of their own, Robert Mugabe got rid of the Brits and took over. Since there is no oil to exploit the USA won't get involved and the tragedy continues.

on 03/21 at 05:12PM PTBy way of reference, 'jogor777', we have a number of registered users from Zimbabwe. THEY ALL RECEIVED A SPECIAL EMAIL FROM Barns on this topic. As did the large group of registered users from South Africa.
You will note the 100% absence of posts from Zimbabwe and South Africa.
So there.....
Barns and YOU, 'jogor777', appear to be more concerned about those folks than the the objects of our concerns are......
Sad. Or telling.

Exactly on point! There's nothing to be GAINED! So who cares ? Not the U.S. ,Not The South Africans. We all watch what this Black Hitler I wannabe is doing to all his fellow country men, And we all make loud noises of protest , But still it continues and NOBODY lifts a hand to stop it I HOPE WE ARE ALL PROUD OF OUR SELVES...

...It's a fact the only time any body jumps to the aid of another ,is when there is a prize to be had !! NO PRIZE NO AID !!!So hang your heads in shame people Because apart from some loud rhetoric from the powers that be(U.S.A,Russia, Britten,...) nothing else will be done .THERE IS NO OIL,NO MINERALS THERE IS NO PRIZE ,SO WHO CARES!!!!!

The situation there is most disturbing. Malnutrition, poverty, hyper-inflations, human rights obuses are overpowering these people.Mugabe's political thuggery seems to be HIS option! How scary is that?? Here's an idea all CTOADS contributers make a donation to Tearfund Zimbabwe! Or will those contributions be confiscated! Here's an idea - the presidential running mates should devote their speeches to educating the US on this tragedy.
