Isn’t it ironic that Robert Mugabe, while claiming to protect Zimbabweans from colonialism and imperialism, is in fact the catalyst through which the recolonisation of Africa by gangster warlords might take place?

And isn’t it even more ironic that in order to stop him and his maniacal party, Africa might finally realise that true liberation, in the form of actual freedom, prosperity, in the form of attracting investment, and peace can only be achieved by ridding Africa of its despots?

Security and upliftment being attained by no longer allowing the warmongers to be classified as liberators and giving recognition to those who save lives, achieve peace and uplift the people of their countries.

Let’s start with the recolonisation of Africa

In April 2008 Matthew Parris of the Times of London wrote a column in which he set out the following :

  • Africa has resources which are coveted by Western and Asian powers.
  • Neither would want to have the headaches and stigma of colonialism.
  • A country like Zimbabwe, which is good at beating anonymous citizens to a pulp, is not that good at maintaining modern state structures.
  • How easy it would be for a foreign power to pick a local leader, arm him and let him assume power. He gets to run the country while the foreign colonial power pulls the strings. In other words, rapes the country for best use of the folks back home, with Africans picking up the scraps.
  • As Zimbabwe stands today, by decimating his people Mugabe has exposed his country’s soft under belly to such an adventurer. How angry are Zimbabweans at Mugabe and the Zanu-PF? Enough to try anything I would suggest.

    I would like to take it a step further. Why even bother arming a local warlord when Mugabe himself is a gangster warlord anyway. He was very keen to take receipt of Chinese arms and sightings of Chinese troops were made on the streets of Zimbabwe. He would be only too happy to murder as many Zimbabweans as it takes to accept the new situation.

    In other words Mugabe would rather be a puppet to an Asian power than allow other Zimbabweans to be elected. He has made it clear that he would rather kill them first.

    So the next time Mugabe tells his people about liberation, imperialism and colonialism, we must not criticize him because he is right. Except the words must be in the following order. Robert Mugabe has elected to end the phony liberation of Zimbabwe and has allowed an Asian power to use him as a gangster warlord in order to reintroduce colonisation of Africa by an Asian power, as part of its imperialistic ambitions.

    The biggest danger to Africa in the form of recolonisation and economic enslavement is Mr Robert Mugabe. By undermining and weakening his country, they are ripe for the plucking. That is if foreign powers aren’t happy to just use Bob himself as the caretaker of the colony of Zimbabwe.

    When you destroy a country as Mugabe has done, there is very little that the people can do to fight back. Of course, as in the case of Mugabe, you would rather submit your people to colonialism and imperialism than give up your privileged lifestyle. After all what would Grace say about having an upstart like Tsvangirai in power — far better to enslave the country than put up with that.

    In other words, ladies and gentlemen of Africa, when you applaud this gentleman for his fight against the Western powers, all you are doing is digging the grave of Africa. The Western powers, if anybody bothers to check up, ensured Mugabe was given the green light (Lancaster House Agreement) to contest a free election.

    They have also apologised for colonialism and stayed a million miles away. The westerners you are seeing are called investors, and hopefully if thugs like Mugabe are stopped we might see many more of them. The biggest joke is that everyone is screaming foul because America and Britain won’t intervene, supposedly because there is no oil in it for them. The fact is they don’t want to intervene, so which colonisers and imperialists is Mugabe warding off? Certainly not the Asian ones — he brought them in.

    I suggest a quick reading of Don Quixote might be appropriate right now.

    What you are in fact fighting is the elitist of Africa who, once in charge, refuse to give power to their electorate. Once in, never out. Who are happy to see their people starve and die because they are all right Jack.

    They are the biggest threat to Africa’s wellbeing and the recolonisation that they claim to be fighting against.

    Why is Mugabe potentially the true liberator of Africa?

    Because through his power hungry evil regime, which takes the lives of our fellow Africans, even the most ardent Mugabe appeasers among African leaders has felt compelled to condemn him.

    Africans realising that it is our brothers and sisters being slaughtered in the name of garbage. In truth, so elite thugs can keep on sucking their country dry no matter the cost.

    If we can build on that realisation and expect the very highest standards from African leaders, in world terms, not because they’re threatening to kill people in the name of ridiculous non-existent causes, then Mugabe might well have done Africa a huge favour.

    Sort of the anti-Mugabe.
