Just a rumor, which is baseless.

Military sources in Harare say that Zimbabwe will acquire 12 FC-1s

as
replacements for the Chengdu F-7s, currently based in Gweru. The

FC-1,
a
lightweight multipurpose fighter based on Russia's MiG-33, will

provide
a
credible answer to the challenge posed by the 28 JAS-39 Gripen

multi-role
fighters that the SA government has ordered from Saab, the Swedish

arms
manufacturer.

The rural population is starving, their currency is not worth the

paper
it's
printed on, they can't pay their international bills, Mugabe turns

away
international food aid saying they have everything under control

and
don't
need charity, and now this! Who's he plan to use them on, Britian?!

Can't
anyone stop this idiot Mugabe?!


South Africa has invaded Angola in the past and only Fidel Castro's
Cuban revolutionary brigades could stop the SA advance. All African
countries are afraid of SA, remember it has been a mere 10 years

since
the rule of apartheid was toppled. It could return any time.


Zimbabwe is ofcourse not Angola. Sth Africa involved itself in
Angola becuase it had become a home base for ANC insurgents.

Mugabe's muderous Korean Brigades (massacred at least 20,000) should
have given us a taste of what this man was about.

The fact that Apartheid collapsed was a tragedy.

http://www.christianaction.org.za/ma...-MURDER_IN.htm

" The UCA Report on Murder in South Africa reveals that according to
the official statistics, in the 44 years from 1950 to 1993, there was
an average of 7036 murders per year. This covered the turbulent strife
of
the apartheid years of warfare, conflict, terrorism, riots and
"repression".

(IE when Whites were accused of 'inciting' violence and just before
handover the rate was even less, around 2000)

However, in the first eight years (of peace) of the new democratic
dispensation, under the ANC, an average of 24 206 murders were
committed each year - officially!. However, if the Interpol statistics
are accepted, then the murder rate in South Africa during the ANC
years has averaged 47 882 per year."

So in ten years we have 30,000 Whites out of an estimated total of
240,000 (470,000 interpol)

We have up to an 8 times increases in murder according to Interpol and
4 times according to the ANCs own dubious data 10 years after then end
of Apartheid.

Zimbabwe has an even more massive increase in murder rate, with often
defenceless old White couples tortured to death in the most brutal
manner.


Some countries like Spain and Britain are actively trying to

overthrow
african regimes right now. They want to lay their hands on the oil,

gold
and diamond fields.


They over throw themselves quite easily enough: they were never stable
before or after White or Arab historical involvement. Modern rifled
weapons merely makes things worse.

The conclusion is that Whites and a lot of Blacks were better of under
White rule.
