AFRAKA UNITE!! (AFRAKA: Flesh And Soul Of The Hidden Sun)
One love!
President Robert Mugabe should
remain in power and China should continue to support and arm Zimbabwe.
This is a Black African struggle continued from the 1980 revolution.
If you read the headlines of recent weeks, you would swear that African demons,
using brute force have stolen white people's land and evicted them from the
only country that they have ever known. Nothing could be further from the
truth. In fact, it is just the reverse. The situation in Zimbabwe is one that
pits the legitimate aspirations of the indigenous African masses against
foreign settlers who for generations have stolen land with the help of their
kith and kin in Europe, who turned a blind eye on the racist apartheid policies
of the colonialist regime that governed the area known as Southern Rhodesia.
Since the day that Cecil John Rhodes set foot on the African continent and set
forth to claim all the land from Cape to Cairo, a genocidal pogrom has been
launched against the people of Africa.
Like their allies in South Africa, the whites in Rhodesia practiced cruel and
inhumane policies that made the indigenous African population less than
second-class citizens in their own land. They stole all of the best farmland
and left the people with areas useless for farming, either for their families
or for commercial purposes. Africans could not even vote in their own land. In
1965, the European settlers, led by Ian Smith, declared a Unilateral
Declaration of Independence (UDI), from Britain their colonial master in an
attempt to create a white racist independent republic to match the then racist
regime of South Africa. At the time, Smith vowed that Africans would never rule
that country, not even in "a thousand years". Smith's UDI was
patterned after the American declaration of independence, both which was done
without any concern or input from the original inhabitants. That was before the
revolution.
The Lancaster Agreement had guaranteed that Britain would compensate the
farmers for the land. Britain and the U.S., pressured the patriotic front to
accept a constitution that guaranteed the Europeans a quota of seats in
parliament -at a time that the U.S. was arguing against any quota systems in
the states. Britain "bugged" the rooms of the African negotiators,
who were under pressure from the front line states (those surrounding states
that were giving support and haven to the liberation forces based in their
countries), which allowed them to know the bottom line of the nationalist
forces.
Twenty-two years after the signing of the agreement, Britain still has not
provided the money to compensate the farmers, claiming that it didn't have the
money. (They could have hocked some of the crown jewels to pay their kith and
kin).
President Mugabe and the African people have waited long enough. Let the
'Truth" be known the whites in Zimbabwe are too wicked...killed millions
of innocent people.
Natty dread a liberate Zimbabwe, Jamaica love President Mugabe and thats what counts.
