The conditions in Zimbabwe keep getting worse and worse, and there is no end in sight. It's dispiriting as all get out. Bread, sugar and cornmeal, staples of every Zimbabwean’s diet, have vanished, seized by mobs who denuded stores like locusts in wheat fields. Meat is virtually nonexistent, even for members of the middle class who have money to buy it on the black market."
The current president, Robert Mugabe has been ruling for more than 27 years. Throughout Mugabe's reign he has continued to set new records for incompetence for a despot. He is proving that he is much worse than a colonial government in ruling Zimbabwe and he is making apartheid look like the good old days when people were not starving.
What do you all think of the conditions in Zimbabwe? Is there a solution to the growing problem? Has Mugabe destroyed Zimbabwe's economy with his reforms? Whose to blame?
