AUNG SAN SUU KYI: BURMA’S ROBERT MUGABE
By Roland Watson

Robert Mugabe is the dictator of Zimbabwe. It wasn’t always this way. Zimbabwe was formerly
a British colony, called Rhodesia. Mugabe in his younger years was a freedom fighter. He spent
ten years as a political prisoner. He led the Zimbabwe African National Union. In 1979, the
Rhodesia Bush War ended, and the following year he was elected Prime Minister. He remains in power, to this day.
Mugabe was viewed as a hero. But as he aged he became autocratic, and determined not to yield his rule. Now in his fourth decade of power, Zimbabwe has suffered immeasurably, and is one of the least developed and most repressive nations in the world
