Robert Gabriel Mugabe, one of the greatest African revolutionary leaders of the twentieth century, a student of Kwame Nkrumah, and a believer in African agency, has one fault in the mind of Western leaders. Mugabe is an avowed antiracist. This is his crime beyond all else. The politically astute African world understands that the white farmer clique in Zimbabwe has constantly manipulated the Western press and the Western governments into supporting their desire to control the land they stole from the African people more than a hundred years ago. The fact that Mugabe’s government has returned land to the rightful owners and has sought to distribute the vast wealth of his nation to the poor masses has provoked violent reactions from the Obama government and created a blasphemous spiral of vitriol from the American state department. Afrocentricity International condemns the continuation of the perilous sanctions against the freedom-loving people of Zimbabwe simply because the Obama administration has not been able, after two elections, to put a puppet government in place in the country. Morgan Tsvangirai, even with the millions given to him and his organization, has not been able to defeat the aged icon. The reason is clear. Mugabe is the founder of his nation as Mandela is of his nation. Mugabe, unlike Mandela, fought the enemy on the ground as a guerilla leader from his bases in Zambia and Mozabique, and saw first hand the barbarism of the Rhodesian settler regime. It is true that this knowledge and experience, despite his early attempts to reconcile with whites and with the British and American governments that had supported Ian Smith and the minority regime, has made him cautious in dealing with the protector of white racial privilege. The Zimbabwean people have spoken! Long Live the Freedom of the Zimbabwe People! Unity is our Aim; Victory is our Destiny!
