Just Kidding About the Whole "White Devils" Thing

Now that his "land reform" program, which was nothing more than unleashing armed criminal gangs to confiscate land from, and often kill, white farmers, has utterly devastated Zimbabwe's economy and deprived it of its best source of foreign exchange, Robert Mugabe is changing his tune about all those "white devil" farmers. He says they can come back and farm.

I doubt many of those farmers, who are happily working the land elsewhere, will take him up on his offer.
