Mr. Mangoma uses a 10 million Zimbabwe dollar bank note, worth 0.00008 of a U.S. cent, as a bookmark because he "doesn't care if he loses it."Robert Mugabe's sham election victory marks yet another stepping stone on Zimbabwe's march towards complete demise. One million percent inflation, an incompetent dictator at the head of a brutal police state, and an impoverished people: this is a truly miserable state of affairs.
What can the West do? Absolutely nothing. It's morally excruciating to admit, but any action the West takes will at best be ineffective and at worst will aggravate matters further. This is an African problem - one that, for the sake of Zimbabwe's people, Africa needs to figure out rather quickly. Perchance Mbeki can find somewhere in his conscious the conviction to disavow his former comrade-in-arms?
