Robert Mugabe RIP

Nice guy, Robert.
Average badminton doubles and a lousy Karaoke singer.
But he liked his dogs and was rather crap to everyone else.
But lets remember the nice things

We're applauding his demise in Current Affairs.

There's enough of this disingenuous nonsense about what a great guy the brutal dictator was (from people who are usually moaning about "blacks") on the CA forum.

Burying him is a waste of dirt.

Far too late, and more or less irrelevant now that he was deposed. He needed to die around 10 years ago back when Tsangirai had a real chance of replacing him but he just hung in there

Our current President was a big fan of Mugabe in his time. Mugabe had impeccable Marxist Leninist credentials, and was a beacon of revolution in Africa when he came to power.

He might send out a message of condolence like he did for Castro.

Had the pleasure of meeting him at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

Sure your lads went and actually fought for Franco. 150-200,000 murders during and after the war, do you still mourn him?

Yeah but he had a longer run than Idi Amin but just as progressive at his own pace.

Good riddance I say. He’s no loss.

Before Mugabe showed his true colors I imagine.

Despite his treatment of white farmers, seems to be these normally right-wing whites who praise Mugabe (but they'd be critical of other dictators). Why is that? What edgy anti woke thing did he do?

Mickey D has never been afraid to demonstrate his support for socialist mass murderers no matter how much evidence has piled up against them. I don't think he believes any action is wrong once the red flag is wrapped around it. My bet is he will issue some statement of condolence given that he no longer has to worry about being elected.

Great longevity but longevity is not everything .

I wonder does he and his like have meet ups in the after life .

Compare notes sort of thing .

Raconteuse

I guess the odds of longevity are in your favour when you're living in luxury and not an ordinary Zimbabwean.

They were sent to the front and fired on by their own side by accident, then spent some weeks garrisoning a town before being sent to launch an attack on a village, which failed, with casualties

The Red Terror was brutal yes, that they were every bit as brutal however is to be rejected The number of deaths from the Whites was much higher, and followed a different pattern to the Reds. A large amount happened within the first month of the conflict in the major cities, while the Nationalists engaged in systematic cleansing

I’m not so sure you really know a thing about our President to be honest.

Again any support he showed for any despot would have been shown before said despot showed himself for what he really was.

That's the problem with freedom fighters, they get in power, and there is no freedom.

I’m getting a sense of déjà vu from this post.

Anyway re: Mugabe, good riddance.

Managed to be much worse than the racist Smith who came before him

Dreadful despot

Doctors have described his condition as "Much improved".

If only he could died 35 years ago..

Hindsight is 20-20 but

Foreign Affairs Minister Brian Lenihan Snr paid tribute to Mugabe’s leadership in the Dáil in May 1981. Mugabe had survived at the helm, at that point, “for more than a year in the difficult initial stage of nationhood”.

Lenihan added: “All the indications are that Zimbabwe will survive and will be a nation with a real leadership role within the African community.”
