Whites Face Expulsion from Zimbabwe

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.

HARARE, Zimbabwe — President Robert Mugabe plans to expel
all white farmers from Zimbabwe before next year’s
elections, according to a secret document obtained by the
Sunday Telegraph of London.

The secret order from Mr. Mugabe’s ZANU-PF party to
self-styled war veterans outlines the political goals of the
campaign against white farmers.

Titled “Operation Give up and Leave,” it reads: “The
operation should be thoroughly planned so that farmers are
systematically harassed and mentally tortured and their
farms destabilized until they give in and give up.”

[Information Minister Jonathan Moyo, asked about the Sunday
Telegraph article, said yesterday he preferred not to
comment on such “idiocy” because doing so would give it “a
semblance of rationality.”

[“It is out of the realm of rationality,” he told Agence
France-Presse.]

The document was circulated in July, just before the recent
round of invasions in Chinoyi, Doma and Hwedza in which many
farmers were evicted and farms brought to a standstill by
the forced removal of their workers.

Farmers who resist, it says, should face the
“Pamire-silencing method,” a reference to Chris Pamire, a
businessman and former ZANU-PF supporter who fell out with
Mr. Mugabe and was killed in a mysterious road accident.

“You know what happened to Pamire” has become a widely used
threat.

Referring to the opposition Movement for Democratic Change,
the document states: “The opposition should be
systematically infiltrated with highly paid people to
destabilize and cause divisions and infighting.”

War veterans are promised “big rewards if the opposition and
white farmers are brought to their knees.” It assures there
will be “no going back on farm seizures.”

Church leaders, meanwhile, have begun a blistering attack on
Mr. Mugabe, accusing his government of allowing a breakdown
of the rule of law.

In a pastoral letter published over the weekend, the
Zimbabwe Council of Churches said the unrest had led to
chaos.

“Many people have fallen victim to this monster,” said the
letter. “We are witnessing murders, rapes, beatings and
abductions.”

It was the strongest denunciation by the churches since the
state-sponsored violence against white farmers and black
critics of the regime began last year.

“We have heard political leaders instigating violent actions
against their opponents,” it said. “Death threats have been
publicly made. This is unacceptable.”

Whites, meanwhile, have been told they must renounce their
right to a British passport this year if they wish to retain
Zimbabwean citizenship. The announcement has left many of
the estimated 40,000 British nationals in Zimbabwe in a
dilemma.

A circular from the British Embassy warns that those who
keep Zimbabwean citizenship will lose their right to
consular assistance.

Last week, Joseph Made, the agriculture minister, said
white-owned farms listed for resettlement must be vacated by
Friday. More than 90 percent of the country’s 4,600 white
farms are listed, and the Commercial Farmers’ Union has
warned that the disruption will cause food shortages.

There is a growing fear that violence will intensify as Mr.
Mugabe, angered by the continued presence of the whites,
steps up his election campaign.

He has intensified his anti-British rhetoric in recent days.
In a speech last week, he devoted nine of the 23 pages to
the hanging of a black girl by the British colonial
authorities in 1898.

On Thursday, he declared: “Whatever machinations the British
are capable of — and they are capable of many — they will
not shake us from our position.”
