Why aren`t the Uk,US or Unicef etc helping Zimbabwe?

Question

Is it perhaps there is no oil?

Answer 1

Why should they do that?

Answer 2

There's nothing in it for the nations you mention and Zimbabwe is sufficiently far away so as not to destabalise and spill out onto their doorsteps.

Answer 3

Send Jimmy Carter... He installed Mugabe, now he can help repair the disaster he caused.

Answer 4

Because, Zimbawe is run by a baboon who does not want any help.

Answer 5

No. It is because one of their daughters wants to marry one of our Princes in the Gt.Britain Royal Familly.

Seeing as he is a Prick, we assume she is. And so we choose to give no help to her Country. But should she eventually bring intelligence to The Royal Family, then I suppose that would be OK. Really they are a representation of the obscene differences between rich-and-poor in Britain. It is Revolution-making. And then who will live ? It is not their fault they are Royal. Or is it ? Are they at all aware of the disgust and hatred for the Rich-b******s they are, while their people exist on Welfare. No - they are not. They should live for a while ( I year in South Seacroft, Leeds 14. ) in a morning-chorus of Alsatians, rather than Corgis. We hope the 'budding-Princess' lives for her time in Leeds in LS14. Then she will be able to 'gauge' the People of Britain. They are lucky there is not already nooses around their rich-******* necks. I would like to swop my Fridgedares' contents for theirs. The next time HRH Eliz II visits Leeds, be aware that the only people worshipping you are ****-l*****g Conservative-voting-c**p. We are NOT pleased to receive The 'Budding' in The City of Leeds, and we wish she would transfer immediately to London. After all, the bloody Royal Family are from there. They don't speak like we do. They are 'Blue-England-South'. Tossers. And their wanting to go into The Military is encouraging the Thought that War and Conflict is Good, rather than something to be sorted out by the Intelligent. Be advised all members of the Royal Family of Gt.Britain, that should our lot as the Unemployed and Homeless and Stateless continue for much longer, the Revolution that can never happen In Gt.Britain becomes nearer. Rich-b******s; get back down South where you Rubbish belong. ..........................

Also Zimbabwe has got really bad P.R. at the moment. Also Graeme Hick ( Cricket ) turned out to be a masterbater. We are not too sure if Groebellar is sane ( Association Football ). Do the Wogs know what they are doing ? If they have annoyed the BBC and ITV, then surely they must be bad. And all that sunshine. They must really try harder; it seems like a waste. But they have no beaches.

Answer 6

Its not a racial thing...

Its Mugabe... Its impossible to help people if they cannot help themselves

Answer 7

No oil.

Answer 8

No one will care about zim until people start taking a look at how they are being conned by their own governments globally. Governments should be ruled by a public law & not the 'I see I take law'? I seriously doubt most forward thinking people would vote for any political party these days. We need a system change anyone agree?

Answer 9

The Rhodesian white farmers produced 20 times the countries food requirement, all people including blacks of course were well fed.There is now a disaster , starvation, police brutality and it is our fault

Answer 10

Its apparent you dont know much about their history

Answer 11

you are correct in saying there is no oil so these governments do not care ,i however care i have met many people from Zimbabwe and i have not yet met a bad one ,they are being butchered by this terrorist called mugabi and i wish someone would do the same to him as was done to saddam hussain and the sooner the better for humanities sake

Answer 12

The cynics say that there is no oil in Zim. Zim could be incredibly rich in agricultural terms - it was.

UK will not intervene militarily as Zim was once a part of the British Empire - if we step in there we will be accused (by African nations) of being racist and neo-colonialists.

The USA has very little influence anywhere in Southern Africa.

UN, Unicef etc are being kept out by Mugabe's Police State.

South Africa should be helping Zim, but they have their own problems with HIV and  serious crime, and they cannot get out the Casspirs and sjamboks in case the tribal diversities accuse the Government of being united.

Answer 13

Of course there is no oil! So why would you expect the US and UK to invade or bring i quote bring (Democracy & Freedom) to Zimbabwe.

Answer 14

me thinks that the oil answer is the right one however most politicians will tell you it because they want the African nations to deal with Zimbabwe as its an 'African' problem me thinks they all have very long noses due to all the fibbing they do

Answer 15

It's simple there are no financial benefits to be made by saving Zimbabwe and it's people, it's a sad fact but true. And is something that the world's super powers will never admit to.   Sad to say but epidemics like this will continue to happen as world population and economics grow at almaring rates.  Man is it's own worst enemy and will be the dismise of it's self.

Answer 16

I was discussing this earlier - I find it completely amazing that our troops and the american troops keep invading places where the people don't want them or their help - yet when people are crying out for international aid like Darfur and Zimbabwe - then we ignore them. Your oil suggestion hits the nail on the head. Iraq has massive oil reserves, whilst Afghanistan now has a major new oil pipeline - plotted, ironically along the smae route as the American stations out there. Co-incidence? I think not.

Answer 17

No easy mineral wealth to exploit.

Also Zimbabweans are "mere" Africans and they don't count, remember Rawanda!

Hope you don't misunderstand.

I'm being sarcastic,not racist!

Answer 18

What a silly question ! They recieved millions for 20 years or more. Where's the money gone ?

What have they done with the very profitable industry build by the colonials ?

They may have no oil but they got plenty of ore. Where is the money from that going ?

Africans are lazy and let the Mugabe  rule them. They must like him.

Answer 19

yes no oil on help ,why you think everybody is inters ted in darfur simple oil

Answer 20

I see the mental home is open again.

Why, when things go wrong in other country`s, does everyone expect the UK & USA to jump in and be the hero.

All of Africa is ignoring what is happening on THEIR doorstep so why the h**l should the UK & USA get involved.

Mugabe was voted into power by these people who agreed with him to throw the white farmers off their land.

Look at the farms now! Deserts....

Don`t bring that holier-than-thou attitude here. Oil has **** all to do with it.

Africa is NOT prepared to do anything, nothing!

So why should the UK & USA???

Why don`t you ask the Chinese - Russians - French - German - Italians etc, why they just sit doing nothing???

Answer 21

That's exactly what I was going to say!  No oil, no deal.

Answer 22

Don't want to upset companies who are plundering other African country.s.Africa mainly Nelson Mandella

support Mugabee.If the West goes in bad for profits.

Answer 23

There are two faces that Zimbabweans are used to seeing at election time. One is the seemingly ageless visage of their current President, Robert Mugabe, and the other is that of Tony Blair. The last polls to be held in the southern African country two years ago were billed as

the “anti-Blair” election. After seeing off rumours of a palace coup from members of his own ruling party earlier this year, Mugabe launched into a four-hour speech in which he made no mention of millions of starving Zimbabweans, nor of astronomical inflation. There were, however, countless references to the former British prime minister and his sinister plot to recolonise Zimbabwe. And so it has been for the past five years. Mr Blair told the Earth Summit in Johannesburg that the state of Africa was a “scar on the conscience of the world”.Mugabe replied: “Blair, keep your England and let me keep my Zimbabwe.” Ever since Mr Blair’s public attack on the disastrous handling of the seizure of white-owned farms in Zimbabwe, Mr Mugabe has used the notion of a foreign conspiracy to enduring effect. Meanwhile, a country that was once the breadbasket of Africa has lurched into famine and the British Government has abandoned its megaphone diplomacy in favour of back channels and what the South African government calls “quiet diplomacy”. In the 27 years since emerging as the first leader of independent Zimbabwe, the former Catholic school teacher has proven himself incredibly adept at twisting the words of his allies and opponents and staying a step ahead of both. While the 83-year-old President is often portrayed as a cartoon of an African dictator in the British press, he has managed to identify himself so completely with the independence struggle that white critics are seen as a neo-colonialist and possibly racist. The very slim hope of political progress in Zimbabwe now rests with talks under way in South Africa. The International Crisis Group, an independent think-tank, said this week that British attacks on the Mugabe regime had been “counterproductive” and sanctions “ineffective”. No one close to the drawn-out negotiations in Pretoria seems keen for Britain to pick up the megaphone again.

Unfortunately nothing will be done in the Hour Of Need for Zimbabweans .

Answer 24

Good Question... and you also got the answer right... as ashamed as I am to say it.

Answer 25

You answered your own question.

Answer 26

We should never, EVER, support countries like Zimbabwe (*ahemRhodesiaahem*) and South Africa.

Why should western men support these 2 countries, when they have been the most prominent in SLAUGHTERING their white population?
