        Because the Zimbabwean government doesn't have power in Croatia to exhume bodies?

        Could these not be the bones of the hundreds of thousands of Africans murdered by the Great British Empire, but let’s blame Mugabe because the alternative is too uncomfortable.

        Again, get a grip of your obvious bias snd get someone to explain to you, 1984 under Mr Mugabe

        Hi Kenneth , apologies for my poor punctuation, there should have been a question mark after the word Empire. If you are volunteering to answer the above question then go ahead.

        But the article clearly states the man in question disappeared in 1984 when Mugabe was in power, a particular Zimbabwean army unit carried out atrocities in thst area and the family identified material and bones after investigation

        True Kenneth, I jumped the gun there without reading the article in full. The finger pointing from certain areas raises my blood pressure to unsafe levels. People need to educate themselves about how SA got to this point. The protagonists should not be sitting aloof of this.

        The bones that haunt? Remnants of the Rhodesian holocaust?
