There is no easy answer to this situation. The famine in Zimbabwe was self-induced by the racist and short-sighted policies of president Robert Mugabe in his effort to drive out white farmers, who also happened to be educated and experienced in farming.
It's tempting to say, "No way, they don't deserve it." But that would punish the people for the evils of their leader. But then again, maybe that's what it would take to spark a revolt.
No easy answers.

Mugabe, of course,
wants there to be food shortages.
How else conduct the genocide of his enemies under the cover of 'unforseeable circumstance'?
Socialism is a one-way street, with mass exterminations awaiting at the approaching dead-end.
