    • Abstract:
      This article discusses the opposition of Great Britain to Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's land reform initiatives. Negative publicity from the British media and British government's efforts to separate Zimbabwe internationally have created perceptions of instability which in turn have scared away investors and led to capital flight from Zimbabwe. The author accuses Great Britain of portraying Mugabe as a tyrant, despite the democratic atmosphere in Zimbabwe.
