The Nando Times: Zimbabwe president defends land-seizure policy

Of course he does. That Zimbabwe has gone from an exporter of food to widespread famine, that's just incidental. It has nothing to do with killing or exiling the people who actually knew how to grow food, including black farm workers. I understand the desires of the poor of Zimbabwe for economic justice. Hey, the land was stolen from their ancestors in the first place. But this isn't the way, and anyway the land seems to mostly go to Mugabe's cronies.

#1 on the stories that should be getting more attention is the ongoing collapse of Southern Africa. Mugabe is the star.
