Only worse, with 3500 Zimbabweans dying every week from AIDS, poverty and hunger. And the NGOs that are supposed to be alleviating hunger are adding to the problem. Read this and weep:

In many instances, former Agritex workers are the ones employed by NGO’s to organize and distribute food aid – a bitter irony as these are the very people who facilitated the farm invasions, and who now drive around in fancy 4×4 vehicles and earn US$-linked salaries. Quite apart from the utter inappropriateness of the situation, they are hardly likely to be impartial in their work of distribution.

A drought is now a distinct possibility. Zimbabwe could be the new Ethiopia, but instead of a Live Aid for Zimbabwe, we are going to have another issue rammed down our throats instead this summer.
