This is a perfect example of a dictator trying to make him pass as a democratic politician. He should be removed from power.

"with annual inflation rising above 100,000 per cent and unemployment at 80 per cent."

Wow, I hope those 20% that have a job spend their money real quick. I bet theres lots of AIDS hookers and jungle weed to get the job done.

80% unemployment is an incredibly scary concoction for civil unrest and a possible civil war. And we all know the UN is going to sit on their asses again if anything happens.

yeah white people did that, thanks berlin conference. Fun Fact: Africa and it's countries are the only countries in the world that actually generally suffer more when valuable resources are discovered within their boarders. Slaves? Rubber? Gold? Diamonds?
