Zimbabwe update

It's been a while since I last blogged about the ongoing crisis in Zimbabwe, wher the story has been one of Robert Mugabe speaking the language of cooperation with the opposition but practicing something else entirely. Today I read in The Telegraph that:

"A secret airstrip is being built in a diamond field illegally seized by the Zimbabwean army 14 months ago which would enable clandestine weapons shipments. "

Robert Mugabe is a tyrant but until South Africa takes action his people will continue to live in poverty; the breadbasket of Africa is now just another African basket-case.
