"For untold numbers of Zimbabweans, toilet paper — and bread, margarine, meat, even the once ubiquitous morning cup of tea — have become unimaginable luxuries. All are casualties of the hyperinflation that is roaring toward 1,000 percent a year, a rate usually seen only in war zones.
Zimbabwe has been tormented this entire decade by both deep recession and high inflation, but in recent months the economy seems to have abandoned whatever moorings it had left. The national budget for 2006 has already been largely spent. Government services have started to crumble."

Até 2003/2004, o Zimbabwe era uma das mais prósperas economias africanas. Mas o ditador Mugabe achou que poderia melhorar a coisa. Nacionalizou as propriedades agrícolas, expulsando os "brancos" (sobretudo ingleses) que as exploravam. O resultado está à vista. Como cantava o Sérgio Godinho, "África é dos africanos, já chega 500 anos, já chega 500 anos." Preparem a ajuda internacional para as vítimas da fome que se demoram a erguer.
