#1 Well, it sounds like they are fucked to me.
Maybe they should try to "keep it in their pants", and quit taking away white farms. Yeah, that should just about do it.

#2 Zimbabwe's problem is that it took all the land from the white farmers, who knew what the hell they were doing and gave it to poor blacks, who did not know what the hell they were doing. Thus, crops fail and starvation ensues.
Leave it to the UN and the WFP to encourage more socialist aid instead of teaching these people excatly how the fuck to run a farm.

#3 All countries are badly hit by the Aids pandemic, which kills those who would normally be the most productive farmers.

I thought all the UN's AIDS statistics were nullified the other day. But, even if not, are they not missing the point that AIDS not only kills the most productive farmers, but also kills all the mouths they have to feed?

Actually, IIUC, Bob gave the best farms and ranches to his cronies, who've done jackshit with them. The poor were run off by war vets (aka Farmin B Hard) and ZanuPF cronies

#7 The Gleneagles group shot a number of about 50 billion for these Australopithecines. I wonder how much of that dough goes into educating these moops about farming as well as birth control.

#11 Unless they send the man himself, it'll do no good. Nothing can be achieved unless Dear Leader offers on the spot field guidance...

#12 "...made worse by problems with fertiliser and seeds in some countries..."
Fertilizer and seeds. That would be U.N. bullshit and Zimbabwe's bad seed, Bob.

And why are the "most productive farmers" out sewing their wild oats into the AIDS-infested countryside? Bob's anti-white, totalitarian boondoggle gets a pass from the U.N. and the BBC.

Let's hear it for free land, free sex, and free food. Zimbabwe is yet another workers' paradise.
