I was in a class with a Zimbabwean major a few years ago.
We got assigned together to a discussion of the Rhodesian War along with another American.
I will have to say that he told a good story, but seemed to have been pretty heavily indoctrinated and was reluctant to answer questions about Mugabe, corruption, starvation, oppression, etc. Personally, I half expected him to defect and try to claim refuge in the US rather than go back.
What is happening to the people of Zimbabwe right now, black and white, is a crime, and one you don't hear much about anymore.
Kind of like what happened with Vietnam after 1975 when huge groups were thrown into reeducation camps, exiled, or disappeared. The media and leftists who wanted us out seemed to have missed the outcome and moral burden of their actions in that one as well.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
