Any facts on Zimbabwe?
964441
Republic of Zimbabwe, and formerly known as the Republic of Rhodesia, is a landlocked country in the southern part of the continent of Africa, between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. It borders South Africa to the south, Botswana to the west, Zambia to the northwest, and Mozambique to the east. In 1888, Cecil Rhodes signed a treaty with King Lobengula of the Ndebele, who succeeded Mzilikazi. It allowed extensive British intervention in the area, and its purpose was primarily to allow mineral extraction. In 1889, Rhodes obtained a charter for the British South Africa Company (BSAC), with the object of occupying and administering what subsequently became known as Rhodesia, and mining gold and other minerals. In 1895 a column of 200 armed white men recruited by the BSAC in South Africa, occupied Mashonaland and promoted the colonization of the region and its land, labour, and mineral resources. \nIn 1896–1897 the Ndebele, Cazembe and the Shona staged unsuccessful revolts against white colonialists' encroachment on their native lands. This was later known as the first Chimurenga (War of Liberation). Nehanda Nyakasikana, Chaminuka, Muponda, and other Shona spirit mediums and rulers were leaders in this rebellion, and were later captured and executed. The Shonas and the Ndebeles with their spears and knobkerries were no match for the heavily armed British South Africa Police (as the police force of Rhodesia was called), who had horses, guns and cannons. Southern Rhodesia was administered by Rhodes' BSAC until 1922. In a referendum that year, the settler population rejected a proposal for incorporation into the Union of South Africa, and instead became a British self-governing colony.

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.

The CIA World Factbook is a great place to get information about countries.  Just Google Argentina - it will be the first link.  I tried to put a URL here, but it didn't work!

Mozambique joined the Commonwealth in 1995. One of the reasons being that at the time it was surrounded by Commonwealth members (this is no longer true as Zimbabwe isn't in the Commonealth anymore) and much or its tradea nd business was done with members of the commonwealth. Also the Commonwealth provides assistance in many areas, which mozmabique has been able to take advangtage of. It is an interesting anomoly though but there must be something in it as Cameroon and Namibia have also joined the commonwealth and were never British colonies (in the full sense).

It's a sad fact that many African countries that start off as democracies revert to tribalism. Zimbabwe is a extreme example but you'll find Mugabe has his defenders here on Answers. Most of these 'defenders' have of course never been to Zimbabwe and are just spouting someones  propaganda. I hope the RSA doesn't follow this path but of course corruption is rife throughout the country and this often leads to one party states which are the end of democracy.
