Read your excellent article in the Bangladesh news and was delighted that
this tyrant's reputation is not obscured by hyperbole.
I lived in Zimbabwe many years ago [I am Australian on my way to your country to assist in English teaching] and I had personal experience of Mugabe.
Mugabe was a freedom fighter with a difference. He earned his reputation among his troops by enjoying torture. Mugabe's favourite weapon was the humble pair of pliers. With these he would remove the lips of his victims and leave them to their fate.
One of my fellow workers, a female, obviously did not please Mugabe and he set upon her with his pliers and removed her lips. I found her in her home after she was missing for a few days. She told me what Comrade Mugabe did.
I am a socialist with very little liking for colonialism. What Mugabe did to his fellow Africans was sheer evil.
Maybe we might pass each other in the street one day in Dhaka?
