Why a Robert #Mugabe victory would be good for #Zimbabwe:

I’ll refrain from shooting the article’s horrendous sycophancy down in flames - it is too pathetic. But underneath the layer of crap, the article does have a point : land reform is the key.
While I highly doubt that what passes for land reform under Mugabe is anything but an exercise in cronyist corruption, the need for land reform itself is a persisting sore point that provides an anchor for discontent ever since the independence.
Foreign agrarian exploiters and their supporters may not like it but, even if Mugabe goes down, the need for land redistribution won’t go away and if Mugabe’s successor does not seriously tackle it, it will provide great fuel for its opponent who will then have popular sympathy on its side.
