Looks like Zimbabwe is trying to allow the white commercial farmers back in.  Not sure what the circumstances are.  I hope it works out for everyone involved.

And where the *expletive deleted*ck are they going to find 3.5 billion?

Yes,  that's a rhetorical question.

An African nation is paying reparations to whites. Interesting.

There was mention of that in one of the articles.  Either way, it takes more than just the land to restart a commercial farming operation so I don't know how this will work out.

I heard something similar before.  The sentiment was to build a wall around Africa and for the West to leave them alone and isolated.  Let them succeed or fail on their own because outside help isn't helping.  If Africa is to become something, it will have to be done by people in Africa.

Depends on what time of day it is and whether or not they cut some zeroes off their currency overnight.

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Some Africans have a right to first world standards provided by some Europeans.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Looks like Zimbabwe is trying to allow the white commercial farmers back in.  Not sure what the circumstances are.  I hope it works out for everyone involved.

Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I see no one has yet offered the obvious here...

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

From the second link:

Quote
Zimbabwe is buffeted by its worst economic crisis in over a decade, including scarcity of basics such as cornmeal.

Rhodesia was the bread basket of Africa. Zimbabwe can't grow enough corn to feed their own people.

Good thing that the world got rid of that TERRIBLE country, Rhodesia. Imagine the suffering the people of that country would be enduring if it still existed. They might even have food to eat! The horror!

When they got rid of all the Rhodesian's, the Rhodesians must have carted off all that magic dirt that made them prosperous.

It was doing fine as Zimbabwe also, but when Mugabe took power 20 years ago or so he confiscated all the big farms and turned them over to friends.  They did NOT know how to run a farm and they didn't have the business contacts or credit to buy seed and equipment.  Went from a food exporter to a food importer in a very short time.
