Zimbabwe was liberated by Zimbabweans, hosted by Frontline States who were Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique, Angola, Botswana and Nigeria; it was liberated through material support from progressive countries like China, then USSR, Romania, Yugoslavia, Cuba, Bulgaria, then Czechoslovakia, Vietnam, Egypt and many progressive countries on the African continent.<\/p>\n

They also bolstered the busting of sanctions by Rhodesia, while winking their eyes as Rhodesians accessed their markets for earnings which contributed to the Rhodesian war effort.<\/p>\n
