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.

A defiant Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe said at the close of the
three-day Organisation of African Unity (OAU) heads of state summit today
that he did not care if Britain imposed sanctions on his country.

With the backing of the heads of state at the summit, Mugabe said the black
people of Zimbabwe had been a labour class in their own country for too long
because the minority whites controlled all the economic resources.

“We do not want to be a labour class for life,” Mugabe said, adding that he
did not care if Britain imposed sanctions on his country. “We’ve already been
under sanctions for a long time,” he added.

The summit re-affirmed the resolution of the land issue, stating that it was
central to ensuring durable peace, stability and economic development in
Zimbabwe.

The African presidents urged Britain to co-operate fully and “enter into
dialogue with the Zimbabwean government with the purpose of finding a final
solution to this colonial legacy”.

Gaddafi says the land belongs to blacks
Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, who spearheaded the formation of the African Union,
said it was not possible for African countries to remain neutral on the
question of land.

“We have to defend the blacks. We have to give African land back to the
Africans,” he said, adding: “You cannot be neutral in a case like this. We
are here for blacks and not whites.” Gaddafi said Europe and the US should
compensate the Africans for the land they had destroyed.

The 37th and last OAU heads of state summit ended with the endorsement of a
working document prepared by the council of ministers which includes among
other things, the budget and launching of the organs of the African Union
(AU).

The heads of state adopted the New Africa Initiative, a merger of the
Millenium African Recovery Programme (MAP), spearheaded by President Thabo
Mbeki and the Omega Plan of Abdoulaye Wade, Senegalese President. – Sapa-DPA
