In Zimbabwe today more than half the population are starving! There is state hijcking of food aid. State prevention of food production. Unemployment of over 70 per cent. Inflation out of control - 200% and rising! Stae approved murder and torture. The press has been muzzled and the judiciary subverted with some judges jailed.
At independence Zimbabwe was heralded as the bread basket of Africa. Since Mugabe's land reform began in 2000 the harvest of maize the staple grain has fallen by more than 70 per cent. leaving nearly 7 million people on the brink of starvation. The distribution of international food aid is highly politicised and anyone suspected of supporting the opposition is left hungry. Most Zimbabweans agree that land reform is essential but not like this!
