John Sentamu, a Uganda-born Archbishop of York in the United Kingdom, calls Mugabe the worst kind of racist dictator, for having targeted the whites for their apparent riches. Almost thirty years after ending white-minority rule in Zimbabwe, Mugabe accuses the United Kingdom and the United States of promoting white imperialism and regularly accuses opposition figures to his government of being allies of white imperialism. Second Congo War Mugabe was blamed for Zimbabwes participation in the Second Congo War in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At a time when the Zimbabwean economy was struggling, Zimbabwe responded to a call by the Southern African Development Community to help the struggling regime in Kinshasa. The war raised accusations of corruption, with officials alleged to be plundering the Congos mineral reserves. Land reform When Zimbabwe gained independence, 46.5% of the countrys arable land was owned by around 6,000 commercial farmers[56] and white farmers, who made up less than 1% of the population, owned 70% of the best farming land In November 2010 the Institute of Development Studies at Sussex University in England released a comprehensive study on the effects of Zimbabwean land reform. The study suggested that the consequences were mixed but that previous claims that the reform was a failure, that its primary recipients were political cronies or that it caused rural collapse were unfounded Elections In April 1979, 64% of the black citizens of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) lined up at the polls to vote in the first democratic election in the history of that southern African nation Less than a year after Muzorewas victory, however, in February 1980, another election was held in Zimbabwe. * Robert Mugabe ----from Zimbabwe Anne Diana § 1 Early life § 2 Early political career § 3 Lancaster House Agreement § 4 Prime Minister § 5 President 5.1 Economy 5.2 Social programs 5.3 Racism 5.4 Second Congo War 5.5 Land reform
