President Bush's Visit To Africa
and Colin Powell's Letter in New York Times 23-6-2003
Africa Strategy notes with sadness and shame the degree of hypocrisy in which the current Right wing Republican Administration of George Bush has conducted its foreign policy on Africa. The forth coming African tour of Bush between 7-12 July 2003 is designed to threaten the peace and widen the gaps between moderate states and war mongers in Africa.
Whites Must Give Up the Land!
Today, Europeans own almost all the land in the Americas, almost all the good land in Australia, New Zealand, and Tasmania, and most of the best land in many African countries like South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Kenya. To acquire this land outside Europe, Europeans did not use law, justice or money.
No Sanity Left In British Journalism
By Dr. David Nyekorach - Matsanga in London
What a travesty of journalism! And what has become of this world of the Queen? Is the end of the world nearing? Where will it begin? Are there any more intelligent journalists left in Britain? Democracy, good governance, public accountability, redounds positively on good journalism. But when all papers turn yellow like the editors who allow these stories to appear in Britain then we know these are the signs of a desperate nation
BBC and illegitimate White Control
Transparency for Britain means handing the land over to 'mentally enslaved Africans' who would easily 'give' the land to colonial Whites.
Media bias on the Zimbabwe Crisis
The BBC, Guardian UK, Independent UK, Daily Telegraph UK and most news feeds are misinforming the public about the Zimbabwe land affair. They choose to feature or highlight articles that sympathize with the White farmers that are crammed with lies.
Zim election - a defeat for imperialism
Since 'free and fair' elections so insistently demanded by imperialism have failed to deliver results to its liking, imperialism is busy hatching a variety of schemes for destabilising and removing the Zimbabwean regime. These schemes range from inciting disloyalty among the Zimbabwean armed forces, instigating regional and tribal tensions, and skilfully pitting the urban against the rural population, to legal challenges to have the election results annulled in several constituencies, and tightening the economic screw through the IMF, the World Bank, the EU, etc., with the intention of causing economic collapse and political turmoil.

African leaders rally behind Mugabe
November 11, 2000 - CBC News
Several African leaders backed Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe Friday, praising the way he's handled a bloody dispute over farmland owned by a small minority of whites. The presidents of South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique also called on all Western countries that have promised money for land reform to pay up before anyone else is killed – including the U.S. and Britain.

HISTORY
The scramble for Africa began in the mid-1870's with the purpose to colonize the "Dark Continent". In 1876 Leopold II employed Sir Henry Stanley to acquire as much land in the Congo Basin as he possibly could, which he did. With the treaties that Stanley had obtained, Leopold was able to claim the Congo legitimately, he named himself sovereign of the Congo Free State/Independent State of the Congo.
In 1908 Belgium took the lands for itself as the Belgian Congo.
Leopold II was succeeded by his nephew Albert I, who ruled from 1909-1934. He in turn was succeeded by his son, Leopold III, who ruled through 1951. He turned power over to his son Baudouin in 1951 while in exile and it was under Baudouin's reign that the Belgian Congo achieved its independence in 1960.
