too what end? to feed people so they can just subsist...i dont giving donations if there was a natural disaster, but a man made one just keeps the problem going year after year.hmmm...Etheopia comes to mind...Africa aid was a bust...from a starving small poplulation to a tripling of the population since LiveAid...and everyone is still holding out their hands needing more food so they can just survive another day...yep..sounds stupid to me. Is the Red Cross now a self employing organization, not helping but hindering a growth of a country.

...these Zulus ran off the white farmers thatonce made Zimbabwe a food exporter in Africa.

I'd make them beg, if it were me....or at least give the land back first, or are paid for the land they were run off of.

Any contribution to this cause is a contribution to Zanu-PF's war chest. Even when Mugabe dies or is deposed there will be widespread tribal bloodshed. The Shona and the Ndebele tribes are bitter rivals - you're looking at Sunni vs. Shia all over again.

Give the farmers back their farms, get rid of your dictator. Then money for food. The quicker you do it, the faster you get food. We are all tired of Africa's endless problems. You do your part FIRST, then we might help later. We also might not. Maybe you have worn us out after all these decades of providing you food and money. Maybe you will blow away like the dust you have chosen to become.
