Most & all iterations of It's a Long way to Mukumbura has the lyrics "And the crowd is fighting there" and my father, a Rhodesian himself, recalls it saying that aswell.
The communists didn't want a reconciliation, they wanted instability in the region and still do. They ruined Rhodesia KNOWING the Blacks would suffer immensely under a regime controlled by corrupt black men. If you can't understand that, you can't understand anything about Africa.
I had no idea that country even existed, and so recently too. Still have no idea what type of country it even was or how it even fell so it would be nice if someone could enlighten me
It was the best country in Africa. Blacks had the highest standard of living in all of Africa. It turned into zimbabwe. Which is a failed state now and the poorest in Africa. The communist robert mugabe took over and destroyed the country.
As a child, it was a great country to be in and very prosperous. Discrimination from my recollection, is like any other country. Unfortunately, it was the time of being a Christian Westerner or a commie sympathiser. Most of Africa chose USSR backing including those who wanted black independence through force. The loser is always the population and today, Zimbabwe takes after the famous Zimbabwe ruins. The country has gone back to the days when Cecil John Rhodes got involved.
