Robert Mugabe may be on the way out. We're not acquainted with his successor, Emmerson Mnangagwa, but we are familiar with the sort of "hard" rhetoric that Mugabe likes to use. An example (from The Independent)
'Reports that Mr Mugabe had been flown to South Africa for medical treatment have been denied by sources in Zimbabwe, which pointed out that the president was deeply suspicious of white South Africans in general and Zimbabwean exiles in particular. One of his main criticisms of his South African counterpart, Thabo Mbeki, they said, was that he was "too soft" on white people, allowing them too much sway in state institutions and in the running of the economy.'
So, is being "soft" on white people the same as being "soft" on terrorists? We report, you decide...
