Zimbabwe to US critics: 'Go and hang on a banana tree'
 

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) ? U.S. critics of Zimbabwe's human rights record "can go and hang on a banana tree," a Zimbabwean official said in comments published Tuesday, while he also indicated that the southern African country is waiting for an overture from the administration of President Donald Trump.
"We are waiting for a cue from a new government," Zimbabwe's state-run Herald newspaper quoted presidential spokesman George Charamba as saying. Charamba also denounced U.S. Ambassador Harry K. Thomas Jr. as "a leftover from a terrible era," an apparent reference to past U.S. administrations that have had testy relations with Zimbabwe's longtime leader, Robert Mugabe.
On Monday, the U.S. Embassy expressed deep concern about what it called the "continuing deterioration" of human rights in Zimbabwe. The American statement followed the arrest last week of Evan Mawarire, a Zimbabwean pastor who launched a popular protest movement on social media dubbed #ThisFlag.

We care so damn much about the Middle East and their oil we no longer need but we don't give a shit about Africa.

What does Africa have to offer -- some mineral wealth ... Cheap unskilled labor? The Chinese are active there utilizing the low cost African labor market to some degree.

Yes basically mineral wealth , africa is quite rich with it. Tho it is mostly bought by chinese.

Not much of a hanging

Banana trees are soft as fuck

10% of our supply of Uranium for operating Nuclear Reactors - if we drop that, we either have to buy more from Russia or Canada, or raise electric power rates :thumbsup

Diverse wildlife on the brink of extinction. Once it's gone it's gone. We should protect it as if at war, nobody else is.
