I did do some further reading as I definitely agree that he had a role to play in the Genocide. It’s unfortunate because I’m his early career and later in his life he showed much promise, but it just never materialized. What he did to the white minority is unfortunate, but I also think part of it was their fault. 

 

In terms of him being a war criminal, I’d say a case could be made. I will say that to be a African leader, war criminal is almost a must unfortunately. I think sometimes it’s not always fear to blame a leader too. Sometimes they do try to control their paramilitary and fail. I’d say that isn’t the case for him though. He definitely carried out a preemptive strike on a potential challenge in a very wrong and inhumane way.

How the hell was it their fault  ?

I mean they seriously oppressed these people for 150 years. They locked up anyone who spoke out against them, and didn’t ever treat Black Africans as equals. In a way, I’d consider stripping them of their land as reparations.

Again, the thing is: they were the farmers with actual knowledge, who actually knew what they were doing. Sure, reparations etc, but by doing so, everyone (except for his supporters I guess) could see from a thousand miles away there were huge problems incoming. Mugabe doomed everyone in Zimbabwe, black or white, with those actions.

In most cases it wasn’t their ancestors. Mugabe stripped the Whites of land in the early 2000s. That was only 20 years after the end of apartheid in Zimbabwe.

For many Zimbabweans retribution. The whites took their land and resources, and abused them for a century. Mugabe was a big proponent of Africa for Africans.

That’s a pretty racist statement. They farmed those lands for thousands of years. They may not farm the “European” way, but they knew what they were doing.
