Not a white genocide: White farmers were killed during Zimbabwe’s land invasions but it was no genocide.  Claims that during Zimbabwe’s FTLRP and land invasions ‘most white farmers were murdered in the evictions. A genocide took place in Zimbabwe men women and children were cut down like blades of grass, their crime was BEING WHITE’ and that Zimbabwe ‘slaughtered a lot of the white farmers’ are false and misleading. White farmers were, indeed, killed. The highest number of deaths is 29, given by the Commercial Farmers Union, occurring between 2000 and 2016. This figure includes white farmers murdered in crimes unrelated to land occupation. There were no children killed.  At least thirty four black people had been killed in one year of the invasions - in the year 2000. Some uncorroborated reports put the total of the unnamed black farm managers and workers killed by 2017 at 78.  https://factcheckzw.org/zimbabwes-land-reform-a-complex-history-yes-but-no-genocide/
