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.

o_O There are people in Zimbabwe who listen to English music? My Gods... that's... unusual. But, it's probably because most of the artists are racists or are scared of Africa.

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.)

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.

The situation in Zimbabwe is deteriorating quite rapidly. Human rights abuses are rampant, and the country's economy is like a drain. That said, change will happen sooner rather than later. Remember, Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe is significantly older than Saddam Hussein was at the same point in his country's deterioration. Seriously, the man's 82. \n\nSecond, the US has a longstanding policy of non-interference in Africa; especially following the debacle in Somalia during the Clinton administration. Should we as a moral nation help Zimbabwe? Yes. Should we help Darfur? Yes. Should we have prevented a genocide in Rwanda that killed 10 million? Definitely. Will we? Sadly, no. Even if American voters could stomach the loss of American lives and cost of war to fight those battles (and to those who say we do now with Iraq, I point to the events of the recent midterm election), our military is so stretched thin and overwhelemed, we'd likely create an even bigger nightmare than already exists. \n\nSad, but true.

Drop George Bush a line and tell him they have found unlimited oil reserves in Zimbabwe! :-) That will guarantee Mugabe gets ousted!

Bangladesh - NO.  They are just finding their feet, the have an enormous population to make it work, they have proximity to India where they can play Indian ODI trophy cricket to improve the quality of their own domestic league.  They beat Australia in a ODI game last year and almost beat them in a test this year.\n\nZimbabwe - YES.  They are self destructing due to the manipulations of the government and the exile of most of the best Zimbabwe cricketers.  With the highest inflation rate in the world and an ailing president taking the country down with him cricket has little chance of maintaining the funding and infrastructure to compete at the international level.  They are just about to end a suspension from test cricket but with both the first 11 and second choice 11 having been chased out of the national team they are unlikely to be even remotely competitive.

I live in Ireland and that particular species of animal is very rare here, I don't think I've ever spotted one in fact.\n\nJudging by the abuse that anyone here gets when they criticise bush or blair (I refuse to put either of those names in capital letters) this species seems to be thriving in internet land.

Do you have some statistics or something to back up this claim? Because I don't think it's true. I know plenty of successful Africans and African churches. I promise. Cheer up.

Just wanted to point out in response to Milo . . . there's big difference between the ideas of the UK countries, which do have a formal political relationship and unity, sharing a football team, and the idea of African nations which have no such relationship sharing one.\n\nI don't know the answer to the question (aside from what I'm sure is intense rivalry among the UK countries) but I think Africa is a bad comparison.

It was called Rhodesia while a colony.  And it was the British.\n\nIt's impact was, unfortunately, not as bad as things are now.

Well, I'll admit my knowledge of West Africa isn't exactly top-notch, but my first thought when I hear Nigeria is the 419 email scheme. (See source for more info.) Not exactly a great PR booster.
