It seems that Mugabe is not demolishing suburbia, but slums, which paints an entirely different picture of the situation. I retract my earlier comment.

So Mugabe is demolishing suburbia, and human rights people call this an immense violation. Since when did living in suburbia become a basic human right? It's not like he's running a shoot to kill policy on anyone 'foreign looking' acting suspiciously. You can count the people that have been killed by this policy in single digits. Zimbawe was a country where roughly 3,000 descendants of conquest owned 70% of the land. Mugabe set up a programme in the early 90's where this could be peacefully redistributed back, they didn't play game and now he's addressing the issue another way. Have a read on Wikipedia, it's all there. Personally I see the link between suburbia and increased division in wealth very clearly. However people are just reading the headlines where he's breaking down the isolating walls of white picket fences that are, in the opinion of his people, destroying the country, and automatically assuming he is some kind of madman.

For Parore to miss the point entirely is one thing, but he should at least get the names right. I mean come on. Rob Donald?
