Let them eat TV's....

Here is a post from Iran celebrating Mugabe's "cultural" ties with Iran....

Ummm, what cultural ties?

There are few Muslims in Zimbabwe (most of them are immigrants from Malawi or other nearby countries who came to work in the mines or farms)..

Referring to the friendly relations between the two capitals, Jokonya said in a meeting with Iran's Ambassador to Harare, Hamid Moayyer, that Tehran and Harare joined "positive" cooperation in all fields.

...

The minister also appreciated efforts by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) to develop TV networks in Zimbabwe.

Translation: Setting up propaganda tv and radio....

Jokonya further lauded Tehran's role in introducing and promoting the international plan for Dialogue Among Civilizations.

Between Marxism in Zimbabwe and with Islamic theocracy...nice dialogue.....

The Iranian ambassador, for his part, said that Tehran and Harare shared a growing relations in political, economic and cultural fields.

Moayyer added that the Export Development Bank of Iran (EDBI) has allocated a 15-million-euro credit for investment in different agricultural, media, scientific and cultural projects in Zimbabwe.

He said that the IRIB would complete equipment of the Bulawayu TV Network in the second major city of Zimbabwe after it finished an ongoing project with the National TV Network of the country.

People starving, deporting the opposition to the countryside...ahh but let's have our priorities straight: TV...
