Zimbabwe: On the Edge of the Abyss

: Why???
The Saturday edition of the New York Times featured a story on the plight of Zimbabwe's children. According to the story, kids are crossing the border into South Africa to somehow make a meager living to eat and not starve to death. What was particuarly sickening was the plight of the girls and women. I am too ashamed and too sickened to even write about their predicament.

As I continue to monitor Zimbabwe, I saw a story on Al Jazeera about the total collapse of the Zimbabwean economy. The story featured a teacher who had over 30 Trillion Zim Dollars at home. But, he could not spend it anywhere because no one takes Zim Dollars anymore:




I wonder if the butcher understands the true state of affairs in his country. Someone has to have the courage to tell him. I wonder if the MDC truly has the backbone to see this through, though. So far, SADC has proved to be spineless. I am pessimistic about the Monday meeting. Mugabe is playing everyone for a fool and won't settle for anything else but total power. That's reality.
