Abstract

Mugabe Moves to One - Party Rule
Caute, David | February 22, 1986 issue

add to cart   close window

A depressing feature of violent decolonization is that the liberation forces tend to adopt tactics and attitudes that mirror the oppressor's, as if the rationale of repression had transplanted itself in the victim. The emergency powers extended every six months by the Prime Minister Robert Mugabe's government are essentially those deployed by the regime of former Prime Minister of Rhodesia Ian Smith from 1965 to 1979, under which Mugabe himself suffered a decade of imprisonment. The grim consequence of South African destabilization has been the rapid erosion of civil liberties in Zimbabwe and the mounting pressure for a one-party state.
