        Because of the economic blockade placed and led by Blair & Caire Short, we will never know how Mugabe would have ended and or, if the political map of Africa would have been any different. Our history continues - sadly - to be written in prose...

        This fool is also hard to hate. He had Africa at heart. But greed cost his reputation.

        As his time of reign in Zim has come to an end, I am thankful for this comrades liberation of his nation from the British. His heart has always been Africa first but we know certain obstacles are a work in progress to overcome.

        Really, former President Robert Mugabe resigned as age caught up with him not to continue. The question is what legacy has he set for the people of Zimbabwe and Africa at large. I think he seem patriotic and set a legacy for all greedy African leaders.

        He is a Gem! All the sellout leaders of Africa should learn a lot from Mugabe. He stood his ground, left a dignified nation where there is no economic slavery like SA. Though economically ruined all thanks to Britain, USA & Co. All the best Mugabe! ♡

        He over stayed in power as if there were no true nationalist remaining in Zimbabwe to move the country forward. The military was patience and handled everything professionally. Yet, he is a hero to many. Safe exit!!
