WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Mugabe is "starving his opponents to death"
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has tightened control over food supplies in his beleaguered country, starving opponents and manipulating relief aid to enforce his hold on power, a Danish human rights group said on Wednesday. “If it is not possible to increase non-partisan food supplies into the country, it is our opinion that starvation and eventually death will occur along party political lines in Zimbabwe,” Christian Tramsen of Physicians for Human Rights-Denmark said at a news conference in Johannesburg. The Danish report, based on extensive interviews within Zimbabwe over the last three months, is the latest to allege that Mugabe has cut off food to opponents who have challenged the power of his ruling Zanu PF party. Earlier in November the European Union accused Mugabe of using foreign food aid as a political weapon, while the United States has said it might consider measures to guarantee that food aid deliveries are free from political interference.
Half of Zimbabwe’s 14 million people are at risk of starvation, according to the United Nations’ World Food Programme (WFP). Zanu-PF, which blames the country’s food crisis on drought, denies it has politicised food distribution and has accused some aid agencies of sending more relief to opposition strongholds. The Danish report alleged that the government began tightening control over food supplies ahead of the March 2002 election which saw Mugabe elected to his fifth term in office. With the country facing its worst economic crisis in 22 years of independence, the state Grain Marketing Board has used its power to permit sales to supporters of Zanu PF while turning away members of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), the report said.
