Give up ? Robert Mugabe.
Following independence in 1980, Zimbabwe was second only to South Africa in economic production.
In the first two years after independence, the economy grew by 24 per cent. This was followed by 5 per cent annualised growth in the next 15 years. The highest inflation rate was 12 per cent.
Then the old Marxist got hold of the place and, today, only the Palestinians are worse off. His land “reform” in 2000 decimated the agriculture sector which had been a large source of foreign exchange and export income. Now, the country is starving. Life expectancy for a woman is 34 and it isn’t just due to AIDS.
This Wikipedia article is as sympathetic to Mugabe as anyone could be and it describes a horrendous situation.
Will no one ever learn ?
And what does this tell you about the UN ?
