>Veterans of Zimbabwe's independence war made a significant break with President Robert Mugabe for the first time Thursday, calling him dictatorial, manipulative and egocentric.
>The Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Assn. has been a pillar of support for the 92-year-old leader for decades, but it released a statement criticizing the man it had long been quick to defend. The veterans are known for unleashing violence on those opposing the government.
>The surprise revolt by Mugabe's aging corps of loyalists comes after nationwide anti-government protests organized via social media. Many in Zimbabwe are frustrated by a rapidly deteriorating economy, a currency crisis and alleged corruption.
>“We note, with concern, shock and dismay, the systematic entrenchment of dictatorial tendencies, personified by the president and his cohorts, which have slowly devoured the values of the liberation struggle,” the statement said after dozens of veterans' representatives from around the country met Thursday, changing anti-government slogans. Veterans of Zimbabwe's independence war made a significant break with President Robert Mugabe for the first time Thursday, calling him dictatorial, manipulative and egocentric.

>“Regrettably, the general citizenry has previously been subjected to this inhuman and degrading treatment without a word of disapproval from us,” the veterans' statement said of the incident. “That time has passed. We wish to categorically condemn the brutal suppression of the freedom of expression, whether exercised by ourselves or by anyone else.”
Do they think this will bring back the farmers?

They're desperate at this point, but not desperate enough to give the land and rights back to their "white oppressors".
It's a deep wound between races that will not heal so easily, and apologizing with regrets is only hollow words that will spur no one to return.
Their first customers will probably be Chinese, if China finds anything worth exploiting in Zimbabwe.
Maybe it's a strategic military position, who knows.

This is all whitey's fault
