Reply #85: Show me where they agreed they didn't have a good claim

The seizures after the 10 years had to be compensated by the Zimbabwean government - it was in the constitution.
I don't expect property in various ex-colonial countries to be seized without compensation (or Britain, for that matter, when the land was seized by kings and barons); that goes for Zimbabwe, South Africa, Canada or the USA.

If Mugabe had been giving the land to common Zimbabwean farmers, instead of his supporters, then Britain would have been willing to negotiate a new agreement where they did help with the compensation.

However, I'm glad to see you say you're not for Mugabe.
