Fourteen people have been arrested in Zimbabwe for circulating an e-mail calling for protests to oust President Robert Mugabe, state media reports.
The government-controlled Herald newspaper says the e-mail urged people to take part in marches on Monday.
<snip>
It complained, among other issues, of hyper-inflation, high income tax, unemployment, shortages of goods and services, and "propaganda on the radio, TV and newspapers".

This is what happens when socialist revolutionaries become 'president-for-life'...

Castro, Mugabe, etc... All the same, no matter where...

I'm sure that there are plenty of members here who would agree with having potential Bush protesters arrested. [rolleyes]

Thank God that all governments in subsaharan Afrrica are now run by persons of native/indigenous extraction, rather than by colonists or their descendants. Everything is so much better across the continent, for everyone, now that the twin scourges of empire and minority rule have been eradicated.

I have reluctantly concluded that most people the world over are unsuited to self-government.

Jesus, where is all the out crying like when SA was under appartide?

Mugabe is a savage bastard.  The whites still alive in Zimbabwe and the rest of Africa should seek amnesty in the US or Brittian. Then, they can watch on TV as Africa regresses back to the stoneage....exactly where it was before Europeans interfered there.

I don't intend this as a racial comment, but a cultural and governmental one.

What happen to the former-Atlanta mayor media darling Andrew Young and the rest of their ilk? Now the country is under black rule, and has pretty much gone down hill.

According to this post by Raven he's doing a firearms registration audit.

Registration > Confiscation > (and we all know what goes here).

Seems like he's following the pattern to a "T".

And, as others have said, where's the outrage?  Where's the protesters?  Oh, that's right, Mugabe is a "native" as opposed to a "non-indigenous" person, so that makes his crimes against humanity OK.
