Robert Mugabe citáty

Robert Gabriel Mugabe je zimbabwský politik, druhý prezident země úřadující v letech 1987 až 2017. Vystudoval ekonomii v Londýně. Do roku 1960, kdy se dostal do politiky, pracoval jako učitel. V letech 1964–1974 byl vězněn. Roku 1980 se po prvních všeobecných volbách stal prvním premiérem. V témže roce Velká Británie uznala nezávislost svého bývalého koloniálního území pod názvem Zimbabwe . 31. prosince 1987 byl Mugabe zvolen prezidentem. Postupně si získával stále více moci a jeho vláda se pomalu stávala diktaturou. Kvůli jeho programu na vyvlastnění majetku bělošských velkofarmářů se země dostala do vleklé hospodářské krize. V zemi je nyní 85 % nezaměstnaných a sužuje ji rekordní hyperinflace – pro rok 2008 to bylo 231 000 000 %. Inflace v Zimbabwe je nejvyšší na světě, částečně také proto, že Mugabe nechával nekontrolovaně tisknout peníze a pouštěl je do oběhu. Mnoho Afričanů nicméně vnímá Mugabeho jako hrdinu boje za nezávislost.

Dne 21. listopadu 2017, krátce po úspěšném armádním puči a sesazení z čela ZANU-PF, ohlásil svou rezignaci na prezidentský úřad. Zimbabwe vládl 37 let.

We have a bumper harvest, not only maize, but also tobacco and many other crops. We are not a poor country. If anyone wants to call us fragile, they can. You can also call America fragile.”
