More of Mugabe

Since he is doing so well at ruling Zimbabwe, the citizens are going to elect him for yet another term in office... Believe that and I have some ocean-front property in Nevada to sell you. From the BBC:
Mugabe 'confident' of sixth term
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe says he is confident his ruling Zanu-PF party will win next month's elections.

He was speaking at a rally to launch his campaign for a sixth term in power and celebrate his 84th birthday.

Thousands gathered at the rally in the town of Beitbridge on the border with South Africa.
And just how good a leader is Mugabe:
Zimbabwe is suffering an economic crisis, with annual inflation of 100,000%, and unemployment at 80%. There are also severe food and fuel shortages.

Many of Zimbabwe's problems have been blamed by the opposition and Western countries on the policies of President Mugabe.
And it used to export food -- Zimbabwe was once the breadbasket of Africa. Posted by DaveH at February 23, 2008 1:37 PM
