Punk lehti: Zimbabwe taistelee imperialismia vastaan

[Dangr]

"Zimbabwen Gwebin maatalousylipiston koulutuskeskus AGROBERT:in rakennustyöt aloitettiin lokakuussa 2007 ja
se on noin 80% valmis. Keskuksessa koulutetaan vuosittain 20 maatalousteknikkoa, myöhemmin ehkä enemmän."

Ehkä viisivuotinen koulu? Eli tropiikin auringon alle luokkahuoneen ja majoituksen rakentaminen sadalle oppilaalle ja jollekin opettajille kestää muutamanvuoden vähemmän kuin olkiluodon kolmosvoimalan?

Etelä-Afrikassa tosin nämä valkoisetkin ovat imperialisten jälkeläisiä eli isojen maiden omistajia ja muita rikkaita.

Etelä-Afrikassa on kyllä ihan valkoisiakin persaukisia. http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/slideshow?articleId=USRTR2C3ZV

Yleistyksesi ei palvele mitään muuta kuin ikivanhaa kuvaa apartheid-buurista ruoskimassa sjambokilla zuluja - joka ei ole pitkään aikaan pitänyt paikkaansa.

Plus että eteläisessä Afrikassa ja mm. Keniassa menestys liike-elämässä on myös aasialaisvähemmistöjen memeettinen erityispiirre. Keniassa Kenyattan hallinto koetti ratkaista tätä suosimalla - kikujuja.

Racism in Zimbabwe - Wikipedia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Zimbabwe

Racism in Zimbabwe refers to racial discrimination, primarily against White communities in the country.[1][2][3] After the collapse of white-ruled Rhodesia wherein the majority of the farmland was owned by the white minority, a new ZANU government was formed in Zimbabwe. This government, led by Robert Mugabe, forcefully evicted much of the population from their farms. The white population of Zimbabwe has subsequently declined from a peak of 260,000 in 1975 (four percent of the population) to under 30,000 in 2014.[4][5] Genocide Watch has declared the violence against whites in Zimbabwe a stage 5 case.[6]

Genocide Watch

According to the 8 stages of genocide, Zimbabwe is currently at stage 5: 'polarization'. Like many other African countries, the tensions within the country have much to do with the country's ethnic and colonial history. Polarization has always been high between the Shona and the Matabele and between the black population and the white minority. Robert Mugabe has ruled the country since 1980, after years of guerrilla war against harsh white minority rule. After taking power, Mugabe's party (ZANU-PF) has tried to eliminate all sources of opposition in order to stay in power.

In 1983 and 1984 massacres of over 20,000 Matabele citizens of Zimbabwe were committed by the Fifth Brigade of the Zimbabwe Army.  These massacres are called the "Gukurahundi". This mass atrocity meets the definition of genocide because it targeted ethnic Matabele people.  The massacres were carried out by the North-Korean trained, exclusively Shona Fifth Brigade under orders from President Mugabe.  Genocide Watch called in September 2010 for prosecution of Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe and other leaders for genocide and crimes against humanity for the Gukurahundi (see below).

The small white minority (under 100,000 people) was targeted by Mugabe's dictatorship in order to gain support from the black population.  Mugabe launched a "land reform" campaign to return white-owned land to black Zimbabweans, but without adequate compensation. Much of the land went to Mugabe's political cronies.  The rest has returned to subsistence farming.  Land invasions by Mugabe's ZANU-PF militias have caused agricultural and economic collapse, as white farmers fled Zimbabwe with their families before black managers could be trained to run the commercial farms that had made Zimbabwe agriculturally self-sufficient.

Agricultural workers fled to Zimbabwe's cities when the commercial farms collapsed, and built shantytowns around them.  In a vicious policy called "Drive Out the Filth", Mugabe's government bulldozed the shantytowns and left hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans homeless and starving.  This policy was declared a Crime Against Humanity and an early warning sign of genocide in a resolution of the International Association of Genocide Scholars in 2007.
