From what little I've heard I get the sense that it's something "bad" but my knowledge of it pretty much starts and ends with this meme I posted.

By the way, here's the source for the meme.

    Eh, Rhodesia was awful, but never once tried using biological warfare as "population control" against the natives like South Africa did.

      Rhodesians only didn't resort to such tactics because they were preoccupied with slaughter by conventional means :theory-gary:

      jk i didn't know about SA's biological warfare, what'd they do?

        Project Coast. The idea was to get a force multiplier to "thin the herd" of the black majority. AIDS was also on the table, if some ex-mercs are to be believed.

        Rhodesia's government was operating under more of an old-school paternalistic colonialist sort of white supremacy as opposed to the Hitler particles the almost-fascist National Party was emitting.
