Clear case of a hero who lived to become a villain.

I actually know/used to know a family of white Zimbabwean refugees who fled here because their farm was seized and their prepubescent daughters were threatened with being gang raped. Fortunately they’ve prospered here from what I can tell, but the story is so harrowing that I’ll never forget it.

Funny fact: he so hated New Labour for ending the corrupt deal he established with Carrington in the 80s as soon as it came to power, that he issued an official endorsement of David Cameron during the 2010 General Election.

You shall not speak ill of the dead... although in this case I'd be willing to make an exception.

Mugabe was a prime example of how lucky the US was to have George Washington as the leader of the Continental Army.

This. He had to do what he had to do, after the white Ian Smith years. But he was too dictatorial.

Generally not a fan of dancing on people's graves, but I can make an exception for this guy.

And this is why I said I didn't really care in the end about Koch's death and the atlas thread.  TBH its either we need to end celebrating any death or we just have to accept.

The entirety of his actions created the awful situation Zimbabwe is in today. Sadly, I’m seeing his successors continuing to make the Zimbabwean people suffer.
