Zimbabwe farmers plight

In relation to what we were discussing yesterday. I agree that resolving all historical mistakes by violence is not the solution. But, accepting what bad things happened before to fate, and not trying in any way to correct those mistakes might not be the solution either. You can read a lot about this in press. Of course, take the british newspapers with a grain of salt because of obvious reaons.

Quote - "The struggle to take back this land was the motor force behind the war against white rule which led to victory in 1980. Zimbabwe's white farmers have owned much of the country's best agricultural land since they took it under colonial rule when blacks were forced off their ancestral lands."
