The big problem with all of this is that the military are the people who have been supporting Mugabe for 35 years. They are a bunch of thieves and gangsters themselves. Just because Mugabe is out, it does not mean that whoever replaces him is any better. There is not one country in Africa that has improved itself after Colonial rule. Majority rule has meant a long slide downwards in every measure of human progress. There is absolutely no reason why Zimbabwe will buck this trend.
Thre will be a brief upswing while the west pumps money into the country to try to give it a fresh start, but the old habits of theft and confiscation of assets will resurface and the country will continue its downward slide.
The journey has no end until the people come up with a jolt as they crash into the back of the cave wall.
The new government will beg whites to come back. They will give the farms back to the original white owners, but only the stupid or desperate will return because they know that as soon as it is all prosperous again, the politics of black envy will kick in again and they will steal it all back again.
