Where do you get the idea that I think that the ordinary Zimbabwean is better off under Mugabe's rule? I didn't.
What I wrote was
the majority of them actually like where they stand at present compared to where they were
The key word is
THEM.
Nor did I write that the majoirty DID actually like where they stand, simply wondered if anyone had actually considered the possibility.
The population of Zimbabwe comprises of both rural and urban dwellers.
The MAJORITY of the population of Zimbabwe are the Shona tribe, and the majority of them are farmers or farm workers.
Since they see the restoration of their lands as being overall a good thing (they may be right or wrong, I have my own opinion) the majority of support that Mugabe enjoys comes from the rural people, and the majority of the support that the MDC enjoys comes from the major towns and cities.
One thing is for certain.
They should be left alone to sort out their own mess.
