Hmmm. It's time to take our studio audience all the way to Zimbabwe.\n\nNews Reporter (NR): What are the restrictions imposed on your country by the American Democracy and Economic Recovery Act?"\n\nCitizen(C): " I don't know good sir, but I am so hungry and thirsty, could you just give me a taste of your soda I see in your hand?"\n\nNR: "Sir, sir, will you just answer the question?"\n\nC: I am dying from thirst, please.\n\nNR: Well, I'll take that as a no comment.\n\nC: Sir, where are you going? I am thirsty. Do you think any of us knows what is going on? Sir? We are peons.  But rest assured that sh** roles down hill, so anything the US does to our government, it does to us first.  They wil not go hungry or thirsty, our government officials.  They are at the top. Sir?..........Sir..........oh for god's sake! I am thirsty!\n(Speaking to NR's back as he and his crew walk to van, ignoring C and load their equipment back into it.)

The Republic of Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) is a landlocked country located in the southern part of the continent of Africa, between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. It is bordered by South Africa to the south, Botswana to the west, Zambia to the north, and Mozambique to the east. The name Zimbabwe is derived from "dzimba dzamabwe" meaning "stone buildings" in the Shona language.[1] Its use as the county's name is a tribute to Great Zimbabwe, site of the capital of the Munhumutapa Empire.

He has ruined Zimbabwe with his land redistribution programs.  These programs were created to generate votes and support that destroyed the farming industry.  The small little farms are not able to feed everyone.  The larger "white" farms were very efficient and produced so much that Zimbabwe was an exporter of farmed goods.  Now they are importing basic foods.  He has ruined a nation for his own political gains.  He used the race card for his own good and not for the people of Zimbabwe.

This is not the current events category.  I don't think much progress is being made toward accepting gay rights, if that's what you're wondering.

The UK annexed Southern Rhodesia from the [British] South Africa Company in 1923. A 1961 constitution was formulated that favored whites in power. In 1965 the government unilaterally declared its independence, but the UK did not recognize the act and demanded more complete voting rights for the black African majority in the country (then called Rhodesia). UN sanctions and a guerrilla uprising finally led to free elections in 1979 and independence (as Zimbabwe) in 1980. Robert MUGABE, the nation's first prime minister, has been the country's only ruler (as president since 1987) and has dominated the country's political system since independence. His chaotic land redistribution campaign, which began in 2000, caused an exodus of white farmers, crippled the economy, and ushered in widespread shortages of basic commodities. Ignoring international condemnation, MUGABE rigged the 2002 presidential election to ensure his reelection. Opposition and labor strikes in 2003 were unsuccessful in pressuring MUGABE to retire early; security forces continued their brutal repression of regime opponents. The ruling ZANU-PF party used fraud and intimidation to win a two-thirds majority in the March 2005 parliamentary election, allowing it to amend the constitution at will and recreate the Senate, which had been abolished in the late 1980s. In April 2005, Harare embarked on Operation Restore Order, ostensibly an urban rationalization program, which resulted in the destruction of the homes or businesses of 700,000 mostly poor supporters of the opposition, according to UN estimates.

A good place to check would be by going to the UN web site and looking more into Nigeria, its government and social issues. www.un.org
