The Westerners may well be aware of Mugabe's end of colonization. But, someone who has murdered is called a murderer. And should be treated as such. Stalin stopped Hitler and industrialized Russia, but he's a murderer. Lots of people in Russia adore him, and though I know full well why, I've never had anyone explain to me why that is. But we have here an African who killed Africans, so we are supposed to see the other side more clearly. Are the murdered Africans supposed to count less heavily on our conscience?
- mmsimanga 7y agoI totally get where you are coming from and I agree with you. I also see the point the parent comment was trying to make. If you meet 10 Zimbabweans you likely to find a few who adore Mugabe. The comment was just to inform those not so familiar with Zimbabwean politics and history. He is still a murderer but sadly there are fellow Africans some very close to me who only see the liberation hero. I just think it is important to understand where the other side is coming from. I strongly disagree and think some of the opinions are based on willfully ignoring facts but it is the world we live in.
