In Zimbabwe there shall be "HUMAN BEINGS"........ Robert Mugabe.

Last year, President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe celebrated his 88th birthday. 

(With the help of Wikipedia, I was able to dig up a little into the history (past) of the Zimbabwean figure.)

As one of the leaders of the guerrilla movements against white-minority rule, he was elected into power in 1980. He served as Prime Minister from 1980 to 1987, and as the first executive head of state since 1987.

Mugabe rose to prominence in the 1960s as the Secretary General of the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) during the conflict against the white-minority rule government of Ian Smith.

Mugabe was raised as a Roman Catholic, studying in Marist Brothers and Jesuit schools, including the exclusive Kutama College, headed by an Irish priest, Father Jerome O'Hea, who took him under his wing. Through his youth, Mugabe was never socially popular nor physically active and spent most of his time with the priests or his mother when he was not reading in the school's libraries. 

He was described as never playing with other children but enjoying his own company. According to his brother Donato his only friends were his books. It is clear that Mugabe is well read and properly exposed. His Catholic background clearly exposes his thinking about the place of the laws of God concerning man and man's relationships with his fellows. 

The west is in the habit of painting this gentleman in very bad light and colors. They hide the fact that the issue of land reforms and his uncompromising position towards LGBT rights in Zimbabwe are main aspects of the reason why the West by sanctions and intimidation have decimated the economy of Zimbabwe. They have done all they can to get this man out of power with the hope of installing a puppet in his place as they have done in most African countries.

Would it be right for Mugabe to compromise on his faith and beliefs because the West must be pacified. It appears that the West like to claim to be Christians and yet they love promoting the very culture that was responsible for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. What is Christian about homosexuality, lesbianism e.t.c.? One would tend to ask " aren't these illicit sexual orientations and behaviour responsible and contributory to the outbreak and spread HIV and AIDS?. Again, just thinking out aloud! One can not be certain of exactly what the cause of the disease is.

If  God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of the carnality and also had Canaan destroyed because of their carnality, isn't it safe to say that promoting this sort of carnality is tantamount to inviting the wrath of God ? I would let you be the judge of that.

Next, lets take a look at the issue of Land reforms in Zimbabwe; when Zimbabwe gained independence, 46.5% of the country's arable land was owned by around 6,000 commercial farmers and White farmers, who made up less than 1% of the population, owned 70% of the best farming land in Zimbabwe in Africa, a land of predominantly black people. 

I am not promoting any form of racism nor would I ever do so. We are one family of people and we all are God's children so lets be open minded but also lets look at things from the perspective that it is most definitely an "impossicant" [impossible and can't happen] for Africans or blacks as a minority in any nation of the world (with the exception of African nations) to own 70% of the agricultural land or 70% of the natural resources of such nations. Well, what is good for the goose isn't good for the gander ehh! 

Britain proposed and Mugabe (and Zimbabweans) accepted a "willing buyer, willing seller" plan as part of the Lancaster House Agreement of 1979, among other concessions to the white minority. As part of this agreement, land redistribution was "blocked" for a period of 10 years. Then in 1997, the new British government, led by Tony Blair, unilaterally stopped funding the "willing buyer, willing seller" land reform program on the basis that the initial £44 million allocated under the Thatcher government was used to purchase land for members of the ruling elite, rather than landless peasants. Tony Blair was thus indirectly indicating that the land should go to landless peasants. Who then were the so called "landless peasants"? Are they not the sons and daughters of the original dwellers?, the original ,black Zimbabweans? 

Furthermore, Britain's ruling Labour Party felt no obligation to continue paying white farmers compensation(for a land that did not originally belong to them and for which they actually paid nothing to own), or in minister Clare Short's words, "I should make it clear that we do not accept that Britain has a special responsibility to meet the costs of land purchase in Zimbabwe. We are a new Government from diverse backgrounds, without links to former colonial interests. My own origins are Irish and as you know we were colonised not colonisers". Well, then why are they angry that the land was or is being redistributed to true blooded landless Zimbabwean peasants?.

Mugabe holding firmly to his religious beliefs, does not and probably would never agree that a man has the right to marry another man or a woman another woman, this kind of lifestyle simply doesn't seem to fit into what one would call human rights. Does Mugabe's opinion of things therefore make him a bad man? or is it wrong for someone like Mugabe to have a negative opinion about this overwhelming promotion of carnality?

Over the years, Mugabe has been known to make provocative statements when it comes to issues like LGBT rights in Zimbabwe and the statements below have been attributed to him;

"Nature is nature. It has created male and female,"

"You David Cameron, are you suggesting that you don't know that or is it some kind of insanity or part of the culture of Europeans.

"In their newspapers, that's one of my sins. That I called (gays) worse than pigs and dogs because pigs know there are males and females. It's even in the Bible that you create through the system of marrying. "That's how we were born, so we reject that outright and say to hell with you. I won't even call him a dog because my own dog will complain and say, but what have I done."

"We won't accept [gay rights in our charter]. There are other countries who have accepted that and put it in their constitutions. Please, young men and women, you don't have the freedom for men to marry men and women to marry women. You have the freedom for men to marry women. That's God's freedom. That's what created you and me."

“I should like to shut them-up in some room and see if they get pregnant; if they don’t then its jail because they have claimed they can have children. So, to that kind of rot, we say no, no, no, no!”

“Women are also engaged in this vile activity. We have some claiming to be men but what is it that makes you a man... Show us your manhood; you want to make other women your wives and you the husband?

"Well, that is madness; we refuse to accept that.”

"In the UK and in America, there shall be gay, homosexuals and lesbians; in Zimbabwe there shall be human beings."

The issue(s) with Zimbabwe date too far back and are just too complicated and long that it would most certainly be impossible to exhaust them in one piece. If however you are interested in knowing and understanding the truth behind all these issues then you most certainly need to do some time traveling into history and then gradual with an open mind return to the present.

 Nonetheless, I think I should leave you to do  your own digging in a quest to adequately sort out the truth from amidst clutter of journalistic entertainment.

 Since I cannot decide for you, I would leave you with this question, Is Mugabe indeed a bad man? Is he singularly responsible for the decimation of the Zimbabwean economy?

I leave you with these words "regardless of  race, color,  creed or ethnic affiliation, we are one family and have the responsibility of looking out for our fellowman. Always seek out the TRUTH because the NEWS MEDIA is no longer in the BUSINESS of GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF ISSUES, They are now about entertainment ratings. INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM IS NOW IN A COMA and WOULD SOON HAVE ITS LIFE SUPPORT PLUG PULLED. 

WHEN this happens. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . LIES, MANIPULATIONS of TRUTHS, POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, DIPLOMATIC USAGE OF TRUTHS, COVER UPS and HALF TRUTHS are ALL that would be left in what you see and read from the NEWS MEDIA.

It is your prerogative to SEARCH OUT the truth!
