2. "I think this program is genius." ?????
"A few European corporations have controlled the land until now." Got a source for that statement? From what I've read Zimbabwe has gone from a nation able to raise it's own food to one in which the majority of citizens are facing food shortages.

The farms were owned and successfully operated by families providing food for the nation and employment for many, until the owners were forced out or fled taking their equipment and leaving fields unplanted. Much of the land is now out of production. Odd that Mugabe's buddies ended up with big tracts of land. Keep in mind the farms aren't the size that lent themselves to sustenance farming. They're large tracts which require significant capital investment in equipment and the employment of many to operate.

Mugabe's stunt has devastated the country.
