    The nearly 40-year reign of Robert Mugabe, one of Africa’s last liberation leaders, appeared to be coming to a closehttp://nyti.ms/2z4M7Lq

        "Liberation leaders"??? Are you serious??? He "liberated" his country into dictatorship, repression, poverty, and chaos. Sorry, but he replaced one form of oppression with something far worse.

        His reign over a former colonial territory that was once the breadbasket of Africa was an unmitigated disaster.

        Stop calling Mugabe a liberator. He is the unabashed Butcher of Rhodesia. Unlike Mandela, Mugabe engaged in systematic retaliation against those who imprisoned him, as well as wanton butchery against blacks & whites who opposed his iron fist.

        It's hard to shed a tear for Mugabe. He will not be missed, irrespective of the manner in which he was deposed.

        A long overdue reign that needed to end at least a decade ago. Excellent development for the people of #Zimbabwe
