Test: Political and Policy Analysis Article - Nkrumah's Freedom Fighters and Zimbabwe - 4

WHY EUROPEANS HATE ZIMBABWE. One of the major reasons the United States and Europeans will never forgive ZANU PF is, in 1972, white casualties began to rise in the liberation war. The South Africans withdrew their boarder police and soldiers from Rhodesia and white Rhodesians began to defect from the army and immigrate. As a result, the US government began to recruit marines, seals and commandos leaving Vietnam, together with mercenaries from British SAS, Europe, Eastern Europe, Israel, Canada, Australia and Canada, to come and save white supremacy in Rhodesia so as to prevent the fall of South Africa after. In spite of this, the 15 and 16yr old bones of Nehanda (black Zimbabwean guerrillas) without jets, tanks or artillery, continued to rout the Rhodies and the best America and England could offer (seals, commandos and SAS special forces) to a point of making the east of Zimbabwe, liberated no go zones for Smith’s soldiers. At the same time, the guerrillas were also infiltrating Salisbury (Salisbury that was defended by seals and SAS elite forces) and bombing Shell fuel tanks in the heart of the capital, to prove that Europeans were touchable in their homes and not invincible. For that, the western would never forgive the guerrillas and to add salt to injury, after independence we kicked the boers in Mozambique, Kagame in Congo and Savimbi in Angola, while taking back land from white settlers, to really become the hated runway, masterkiller slave. In Zimbabweans the oppressor sees an untamed Django. And Nkrumah had a hand in all of that. In fact, Nkrumah also checked U.S. and other Western mercenaries engaging in similar atrocities at the behest of Belgium by sending a very well-trained and armed Ghanaian contingent to go and defend Lumumba against the Belgians and Americans imperialists. He was also the person who trained our first Zimbabwean freedom fighters. Some think the war ended in 1980. Settler colonial Europeans never accept defeat to natives. They actually moved from a Hot War to a Cold War against Zim sovereignty. They tried to incite civil wars between Ndebele & Shona, rebranded themselves as white Africans & led 20yr siege. All around the colonial globe they just went into Restrategizing mode. Note all colony currencies devalued drastically since 1960s when they no longer had control
