  1. Yes it did. Sanctions didn't cause Mugabe to give the farmland to political allies and those who don't know how to farm resulting in declining production, food shortages and eventual famine. Why didn't he give the land to the natives who actually knew how to farm due to experience working for Whites?

  5.  @patrickdayton2080  I guess you never heard of Soviet imperialism. <sanctioning others nation and people because of hatredness of policy against land grape and cooperation establishment in their respective countries> Really? So how did Yugoslavia, Guyana and Somalia managed to get US support during their socialist days? And how did Tanzania, Madagascar, Benin, Cambodia, Eastern Europe, etc. manage to fail without the excuse of Western interference?

  9. Yes it was land reform which is just another way of saying nationalization, abolishing private property, redistribution of wealth/resources, etc. Standard Marxist fare.

  11. <But allowing the minority whites to own 80% of the wealth and land is not acceptable.> You have only Nelson Mandela to thank for that. And minority Whites are responsible for 80% of the wealth and food produced in South Africa and why South Africa hasn't collapsed yet.
