10 Countries That Have No Room To Talk Trash
9. Zimbabwe
Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe has been accusing the West of neo-colonialism, neo-imperialism, greed, immorality, and the mistreatment of the immigrants and minorities. But very few world governments come even close to the outrageousness of this East African country.
Soon after independence Mugabe set about creating a ZANU–PF-run one-party state, establishing a North Korean-trained security force, the Fifth Brigade, in August 1981 to deal with internal dissidents. Mugabe attacked former allies ZAPU, in which the Fifth Brigade crushed an armed rebellion by fighters loyal to his rival Joshua Nkomo, leader of the minority Ndebele tribe, in the province of Matabeleland. Between 1982 and 1985, at least 20,000 people died in ethnic cleansing and were buried in mass graves. Mugabe consolidated his power in December 1987, when he was declared executive president by parliament, combining the roles of head of state, head of government, and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, with powers to dissolve parliament and declare martial law.
The government of Zimbabwe has been guilty of blatant racism and tribalism which has manifested itself in the genocide against the Ndebele tribe, as well as persecution and driving out of the white minority. Mugabe has caused massive corruption and greed, gross economic mismanagement, authoritarianism, and the invasion of Congo.
