Zimbabwe tells farmers to leave their land

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.

Joseph Made, Zimbabwe’s minister for lands, told white farmers to immediately
leave their property to make way for black settlers, in an interview with the
state-run Sunday Mail. “Commercial farmers have refused the concept of
co-existence, and some of them have even gone on to beat up resettled
farmers. That is unacceptable and we now require all those in areas gazetted
for resettlement to pave the way for settlers,” Made said. The Zimbabwe
government has gazetted 5 327 white-owned farms totalling 9,5 million
hectares for seizure, marking more than 90% of all white-owned land.

Made’s statement came after last weeks upsurge in violence on farms around
the northern town of Chinhoyi, where violent mobs ransacked about 50
white-owned farms. White farmers have won a Supreme Court ruling that
declared the government’s resettlement scheme unconstitutional and that
ordered police to evict thousands of pro-government militants who have
forcibly occupied white farms since February 2000.

Robert Mugabe, the Zimbabwean President, has ignored the ruling and pushed
ahead with his governments scheme, which aims to redress inequities in land
ownership left from the white-minority colonial government.

The farm violence has had a strong political colouring, closely tied to the
government’s crackdown on dissents ahead of presidential elections due in
April. Mugabe is expected to face his toughest challenge ever from Morgan
Tsvangirai, leader of the two-year-old Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).
