[edit] War against white farmers

Why is there nothing on the subject of the war against white farmers in the article? Shouldn't it be front and center? The farmers are murdered and their wives and daughters raped. The lack of farmers has resulted in famine. I am not understanding this. The article seems to make Zimbabwe a rosy place to live. Edw1234 (talk) 14:18, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


I Agree with the statement above. More needs to be emphasized regarding the violence that has taken place since the land reform. Human rights organizations around the world have condemned the actions of Mugabe. Can we please add? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.206.16.35 (talk) 16:24, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

If you are going to talk about white minority farmers, you then have to include land issues in Zimbabwe, how the majority were forced out of their ancestrol areas and what the British gov;t promised at the lancaster house talks. And why most Zimbabweans do not sympathy with white farmers (let's face it there has been vilation against white farmers, increasingly less sympathy). Are y farmers victims, or the land grabers of native lands. Land issues in Zimbabwe are very controversial!!!

[edit] 2008 General elections

The 2008 general elections are currently happening in Zimbabwe. This can be added to the topic. Bold Vier (talk) 18:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] relationship between the parliament and the president

So the article lacks that vital information we need to know now. Is parliament the sole legislative body? What is the relationship with the president? Can the P veto bills? Can parliament override him? TONY (talk) 13:54, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] goodbye bob

Mugabe must go. The solution is now clear. Makoni and the generals should oust the old man immedaitely. Then Makoni should hand over power to Tsvangirai and retain himself the head of army position. this will ensure balance. Also join the rand economic zone quickly, that is yr only hope, zimbabwe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.223.189.100 (talk) 06:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ZDERA

In the text it's mentioned that ZDERA prohibits the International Monetary Fund and other international financial organizations from extending loans or other financial aid to Zimbabwe. I'm not entirely familiar with the connection between the United States Government and the IMF, but does the US have any jurisdiction over their actions? Also, from what I read in the text of the law itself, it only prohibits the US representatives to those organizations from voting in favor of debt relief and financial aid. While the US does have significant weight (16.79% in the IMF), it does not, to my knowledge, have veto power over IMF decisions. Is there any opposition to clarification of the article?

As nobody has voiced any objections, I have clarified the meaning of the ZDERA legislation. CelticMarauder (talk) 13:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
