Mister President, we beg you to retire!

I agree that Cholera epidemic is not a cause for war because there have been epidemics before and I don't remember that at any time western countries decided to tackle them with military intervention.

Western countries' interventionistic / imperialistic / paternalistic attitude when it comes to the South utterly annoys and upsets me, but this man has got me scratch my head a lot lately.

Mugabe announces that cholera in Zimbabwe was erradicated almost overnight! This man needs to get serious. What kind of consequences does he think this announcement will have? Although no one will probably believe him, this might reduce, international drug aids and/or push even more infected people outside the country and in consequence a spread of the disease to most southern African countries.

This is the man who offered his country a 231,000,000% inflation rate.

Let me illustrate this for you: Z$1oo BILLION = UK£ 8p 

or in fuller charcters: Zimbabwean $ 100,000,000,000 = UK£ 0.08.

And of course no health care system and a lot of starvation.

Do yourself a favor and read the BBC article here.
