They weren't run into the ground by idiotic leaders.

Mugabe and his thugs decided that they could do the typical collectivization spiel on farming and kicked out the whites who were the countries go to farmers, as well as the middle class. Just like Holodomor and The Great Leap Forward however they learned something shocking, forcing people with no knowledge on how to effectively farm using modern industrial agriculture equipment doesn't work, especially when you have run off everybody who could have taught them.

Nobody here is saying that African's are to stupid to farm we are saying that the people who ran Zimbabwe into the ground were genocidal idiots and their policies ruined a once thriving African Country as the bellow states.

In December 2017 the website Zimbabwe News, calculating the cost of the Mugabe era using various statistics, said that at the time of independence in 1980, the country was growing economically at about five per cent a year, and had done so for quite a long time. If this rate of growth had been maintained for the next 37 years, Zimbabwe would have in 2016 a GDP of US$52 billion. Instead it had a formal sector GDP of only US$14 billion, a cost of US$38 billion in lost growth. The population growth in 1980 was among the highest in Africa at about 3.5 per cent per annum, doubling every 21 years. Had this growth been maintained, the population would have been 31 million. Instead, as of 2018, it is about 13 million. The discrepancies were believed to be partly caused by death from starvation and disease, and partly due to decreased fertility. The life expectancy has halved, and death from politically motivated violence sponsored by government exceeds 200,000 since 1980. The Mugabe government has directly or indirectly caused the deaths of at least three million Zimbabweans in 37 years.[104] According to World Food Programme, over two million people are facing starvation because of the recent droughts the country is going through.

The above is Mugabe and his cohorts legacy.
Then should everybody not gloat and just pray for the people. Them just like the people in Mainland China need the Cross. The Christian thing to do is pray for those that you don't even like. It is one of the commands God gives us. Pointing the finger and laughing is not Christian at all.

What does me criticizing Mugabe and his Ilk for idiocy have to do with the people of Zimbabwe's suffering?

Proverbs 26:5
Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes

In any case, I do hope for the betterment of the country and it's people, but the fact is at the end of the day these fools are still in charge, nothing has changed and I will still mock the leadership as such until they resign and admit they were wrong, Christianity Is about being the good Samaratan after all.
