Mugabe fans the flames of the revolution
President Robert Mugabe's ruling party in Zimbabwe plays host to a conference this week of former liberation movements in Southern Africa to make the case for land reform, a senior party official said on Tuesday.

The three-day conference opening on Wednesday in Harare is meant to "strengthen" the struggle against the remnants of colonialism, said Didymus Mutasa, the secretary for external affairs for the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF).

"There is a lot of criticism of our land reform programme and we want those who are supporting us to understand why we are doing it," said Mutasa.

Invitations to the gathering described as "one of the first of its kind" have been put out to former guerrilla movements from Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia.

2. Yeah, who the hell do these natives think they are anyway?
Only colonizers and capitalists are allowed to just take stuff.
