False.
Robert Mugabe is a true African hero.
The only reason Europe and America are so anti-Mugabe now is because he basically told white people to get the f--- out of Zimbabwe. He wanted to stop the exploitation of black people in Zimbabwe by European and American business interests so he took control of Zimbabwe's resources from the foreign whites that controlled Zimbabwe since colonialism and turned it over to the native black population. Here is a good article that explains why Mugabe is so hated by the white power structure and why Mandela isn't:
Why the West Loves Mandela (and Hates Mugabe) The basic upshot is Mandela allowed the white economic power structure that existed during colonialism and apartheid to exist after South Africa got "independence." Mugabe on the other hand kicked out the white economic power structure that existed during colonialism and this is what pissed white people off.
Mugabe took his country back and gave it to the people. This is why the white power structure hates him so much. Back when he was another one of those corrupt African leaders that let Europe and America control Zimbabwe's resources exploiting the land for their gain, they loved Mugabe. In fact the Queen of England bestowed Mugabe with knighthood in 1994. However, once he said Africa should be for Africans the white power structure got mad and labeled him a dictator.
You see the pattern? When a leader is doing America or Europe's bidding he's cool. He gets things like a knighthood. But when he kicks white business interests out of his country and turns the resources over to the people he becomes an evil dictator. This is the same story we saw with Batista and Castro in Cuba. When a foreign leader does what we say he's our friend. When he doesn't do what we say he's a dictator.
The truth is it was white European countries and America that turned Zimbabwe from the breadbasket of Africa to what it is today. After Mugabe refused to allow them to exploit the resources of the country, they crippled the economy of Zimbabwe through economic sanctions. The same type sanctions they have tried to cripple Cuba with. Its the same story all over the world. If you go against the white power structure they will try to destroy your country through sanctions. If you do what they say they will suck your nation dry of its resources like they've done all over Africa.
