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.

[Robb Ellis found this fascinating article on military co-operation between Pakistan and Zimbabwe. I had some problems posting Robb’s original comments on this so here instead is the original article. It appears as if Mugabe is doing whatever he can to try and keep his military force up to date and that is what this is all about. Jan]
Shaukat Aziz approves revised draft of pact for troop deployment to Zimbabwe
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz has approved the revised draft of an agreement for deputation of Pakistan's armed forces personnel to Zimbabwe to improve military and defence cooperation between the two countries, sources in the Defence Ministry told Daily Times on Friday.
The sources said that according to the revised agreement, the armed forces personnel selected for deputation to Zimbabwe would get enhanced monthly packages. The draft agreement contains 26 articles that define terms and conditions of the deputation, which have been mutually agreed by the governments of Pakistan and Zimbabwe, the sources added.
They said that officers from the rank of captain to brigadier and those of equivalent ranks in the Air Force and Navy on their deputation to Zimbabwe would get monthly salary in the range of $1,500 to $3,300 and other allowances and privileges such as free accommodation and medical cover. The sources said that the monthly salary of troops in lower ranks would be from $615 to $712 besides other allowances and privileges.
“The duration of appointment on deputation in Zimbabwe will be of two years, extendable for another year. The officers will be entitled to $30,000 and other ranks $15,000 comprehensive insurance to be offered by the government of Zimbabwe,” the sources said, adding that the previous agreement was revised on Pakistan's request after the Zimbabwe government asked Islamabad for provision of six flight instructors.
The sources said that Pakistan agreed to provide technical assistance and training facilities to Zimbabwean armed force and signed an agreement in this regard on April 29, 1983. “The revised agreement would ensure better conditions to our troops on deputation because the terms and conditions under the 22-year-old agreement were not feasible keeping in view the increased cost of living,” the sources said. “The new agreement will be renewable after every five years and will extend automatically until one of the two parties requests for changes or termination of the agreement,” the sources added.
