We have good friends who fled the country as third generation Europeans in Zimbabwe. They lost everything and now live in a tiny apartment in our city. I have listened to their stories and am amazed that they live without bitterness. What a terrible outcome for the people who still live there.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-14379873614073140312011-12-03T18:41:35.155-05:002011-12-03T18:41:35.155-05:00I told you this on the phone I think.

I asked him how he could conceive of Mugabe ending up in Heaven. He replied, "He is in Hell now." My friend is giving no simple answer, but stating that Mugabe may hold power, but has made the place hell for others -- and for himself. As I said on the phone, I have not yet read this book: I know its contents too well alreeady. Godwin is a compelling clear writer, whose background is so close to my own that I find it difficult to relive the events he describes. I too pray that Zimbabwe will someday rise from the dead.Climenheisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989459133238230712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-36483569516563835132011-12-03T13:05:25.808-05:002011-12-03T13:05:25.808-05:00It's a deplorable state of affairs.It's a deplorable state of affairs.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.com
