The only wy he is leaving the office is horizontally.

Seems like more and more countries are going the socialist commie dictator route. Maybe the free west should just stop giving them any kind of help. They obviously can’t take cre of themselves.

“recounts” in selected areas dominated by one’s corrupt supporters controlling the “recount”

hmmmmm..... why does this remind me of our own corrupt and depraved 3rd World socialists led by Albore in 2000?

"Since independence in 1980, the annual income of the average Zimbabwean has fallen from $1,200 to under $500. Unemployment is currently as high as 80%, and inflation is well over 120,000%."

If those are all 1980 dollars, the 20% of working Zimbabweans got some sizable raises.
If they're 2008 dollars, even the working 20% might well have eaten each other before the vote count is in.

"...Zimbabwe will never be able to recover so long as the international community timidly leaves Mr. Mugabe in power.

That would be because no one else, African or non African, cares about Zimbabwe. It is a huge embarrassment to the political order that determined it proper to end white rule at any cost.

Note also that "recovery" in this instance means "other people will not be able to dump immense sums of money and large numbers of 'experts' into a small region in order to build refugee camps, install NGOs, relabel food donations, and perhaps build a shoddy hospital or two while bureaucrats and still other experts, comfortably far away, debate what is best for the (still underfed and unemployed) natives really, really, need.

So long as the refugees go someplace else (NIMBY) no one will raise a finger. By design, the locals don't have strength or resources to revolt - if they ever had the will to do so."
