Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe tells whites to “go back to England”
THE man who calls himself “the Hitler of our time” and once said he was better than Jesus Christ is back. And you won’t believe what he said this time.
Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, long known for his outspoken rants, has told whites who are still in his country to “go back to England”, as he vowed that those removed from land redistributed to black Zimbabweans would never be allowed to return.
Mugabe was speaking during the installation of a chief in his rural Zvimba home area, according to All Africa.
“The West prefers a weak leader who, they hope, would allow the whites to come back,” he said, speaking in Shona.
“They think if they intimidate us we will be cowed and allow the whites to come back; that will never happen.
“Don’t they (whites) know where their ancestors came from? The British who are here should all go back to England.
“What is the problem? We now have aeroplanes which can take them back quicker than the ships used by their ancestors.”
Mugabe, widely condemned for human rights abuses and rigged elections, regularly rails against whites and western leaders.
American President Barack Obama is the latest leader to draw his ire, with the eccentric president claiming the leader of the free world was “afraid of him”.
Addressing an audience of supporters, he said: “It’s your support which enables me with my small frame to instil fear in the likes of Obama.
“They invite all other leaders to meetings but say Mugabe cannot come and I wonder whether it’s my misfortune.
“In the past, when we attended these meetings, Western leaders would disappear once they knew that I was around.”
He continued on in his “tolerant” speech by explaining how Obama was afraid of him and the Western leaders of the world were trying to “intimidate” Zimbabwe into “allow[ing] the whites to come back.”
Last year, Mugabe used his opportunity to speak at the 68th UN General Assembly in New York to berate the United States and the UK for imposing “illegal and filthy sanctions” on Zimbabwe.
“Shame, shame, shame to the United States of America. Shame, shame, shame to Britain and its allies,” Mugabe said.
But that rant doesn’t come close to his most colourful quotes.
Celebrating his 90th birthday before thousands of people at a soccer stadium earlier this year, Mugbae urged the nation to shun homosexuality.
“God made men and women so they can bear children,” he told the crowd of more than 45,000 gathered for the celebration.
“We don’t accept homosexuality here.”
Other Mugabe gems include:
On Hitler: “I am still the Hitler of the time. This Hitler has only one objective: justice for his people, sovereignty for his people, recognition of the independence of his people and their rights over their resources. If that is Hitler, then let me be Hitler tenfold. Ten times, that is what we stand for.”
On white people: “The only man you can trust is a dead white man.”
On being better than Jesus: “I have died many times — that’s where I have beaten Christ. Christ died once and resurrected once.”
God help us.
