Zimbabwe compo row with Britain over white farmers
Sep 16th, 2008 | By David Harper | Category: WorldThe Australian: Zimbabwe’s new unity Government clashed with Britain within hours of its creation yesterday when it demanded that the country’s former colonial master should compensate the 4,000 white farmers whose land the Mugabe regime has seized for its own supporters.
The agreement to create a power-sharing government that Robert Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai signed in Harare described the farm seizures as irreversible and said that the British Government should “accept the responsibility to pay compensation for land acquired from former landowners for resettlement”.
