  Ross - we can't keep blaming British Colonialism for all of Africas woes.
  
  Britain did not rule every African state, nor create all their borders, but virtually every African state is currupt and run by a one-party dictatorship - that's why they don't publicly condemn Mugabe.
  
  It is tribal there, very tribal and most don't get on with each other, even in the same country.
  
  The point of my original posting was to show the difference between a white-run country
  (as of many years ago) and a black-only run country, as of nowadays. Even many blacks can see the difference.
  I have photos of Rhodesia and what the buildings and public parks etc. were like in Salisbury and now what they look like in Harare; I also have some of Jo'burg then and now and it is a marked difference.
  
  I have photos of Mugabe's Palace he had built and it is unbelievably opulent, disgustingly so.
  Those not of his tribe and who don't vote for him can (and do) starve to death.
  
  Mugabe's land-grab from the whites killed the food harvests and Howard is right that Uganda and other African states offered white farmers, who are skilled in farming, the opportunity to farm there; I don't know how many took up the offer, but I'm sure that many who could get out, did so before being killed by Mugabe's war veterans.
