With due respect madf, 'tribalism' is part of the mix in both countries but very far from being the whole story. Both societies are quite complex socially with different levels of settler/colonist population, mulatto and secondary colonial (Indian, Arab) 'classes', implanted capitalist enterprises with their visiting experts and executives, and so on. The harsh, venal rule and ugly discourse of people like Mugabe shouldn't be allowed to mask all that.
