In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I would like to thank you and your leader «1» who has sent a message for me. In Islam, which we are following, the question of race and racism is not of consideration. Islam is unconcerned about the color of the face; it measures a person's worth based on his piety. The fact that you have a grievance against America and other governments that are criminal and oppressive is not confined to you alone; this America and its gang behave in a similar fashion with the common people wherever they are. For fifty years, our nation was under the yoke of the ominous regime because of America and England. So many crimes were perpetrated by the government of this father and son that it defies description. Our country was totally ruined in the reign of this father and son and that which was made habitable was the graveyards. Because of the killings that they masterminded, they made our graveyards populous and our land bare. They squandered our resources and gave them to foreigners, and made us totally dependent on America and others until by the grace of God, our nation woke up, and by placing its trust on the Blessed and Almighty God and unity of expression and without having any weapons and equipment revolted, started a movement and pushed aside all the forces of darkness.
I hope that the secret that became the key to victory in Iran will be a model for all downtrodden peoples. That secret was unity of expression and trust in Islam.
If in a nation the conviction in spirituality is found, then can they overcome their problems. We went through the same miseries and oppression that you went through- or perhaps more. However, today we broke this great barrier and it is hope that this movement will finally culminate in triumph and we can put the progressive tenets of Islam into action. I pray to Almighty God for the victory of the oppressed over the oppressors. Convey my greetings to that section that are oppressed and have revolted against the tyrants, and inform them that with unity of expression they can attain victory.
May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
«۱»- Robert Mugabe.
