You ignore the fact that the west placed crippling sanctions on Zimbabwe when Mugabe began the land reforms. He did what was right when he kicked the white farmers out. Tell me, would you be ok with whites owning large amounts of lands in Somalia which they stole from the native population?

1) What sanctions do you speak of? Zimbabwe was never sanctioned until 2003 by the USA and Mugabe had already destroyed the economy by then,
2) Those were white Zimbabweans who had lived there for generations, they were farmers who had nothing to do with the colonial rule
3) No it was a retarded move, because they were experts in land-farming in Zimbabwe
4) Even, after the land reforms were made by Mugabe, the black Zimbabweans farmers couldn't make use of the farmland that was previously owned by the white Zimbabwean farmers after it was given to them.

The Bantus have been never native to Southern Africa, they were expansionist like the white Europeans, they massacred the Khoisan tribes who were the original inhabitants of that region and became the majority over time.

The recipe for disaster was having an insane marxist leader like Mugabe in power.

You're an idiot. Read up about what Mugabe done to the Zimbabwean economy.

For all the lawlessness in Zimbabwe, the country in fact suffers from an overabundance of laws. Indeed, Mugabe has introduced so many economic edicts in the past year that most citizens have found it impossible to keep track. He fixed the price of a loaf of bread at half the bakers' break-even price, and levied astronomical fines on any baker who charged more. Bakers stopped making bread until somebody noticed that sesame bread, a "luxury item," wasn't price-controlled; by sprinkling a few sesame seeds on their standard loaves, bakers were able to get back in business. A pair of mortuary workers were arrested recently for running a profitable "rent-a-cadaver" business: because Mugabe had decreed that drivers in funeral processions would get privileged access to the trickle of fuel coming into the country, these entrepreneurs had begun leasing bodies to Zimbabwean drivers.

Zimbabwe's only real surplus is HIV, which has infected a third of the population, causing life expectancy to drop from fifty-six years in the early seventies to a deeply distressing thirty-five years today. In 1999 Mugabe's government actually did something that no other African government had tried: it introduced an "AIDS levy"—a three percent tax on every Zimbabwean's salary, which was to be used to fund AIDS prevention and treatment. Predictably, most of the money disappeared.
