Mugabe and his 'coterie of fools' have
transformed Zimbabwe from 'bread basket'
of Africa into the world's 'basket case'!
The World does not possess the resources required to 'out plant' stupidity!
Secondarily, the hi-jacking of 'donated'
food stocks, for profiteering, exploitation
and/or political manipulation of peoples'
survival, erases the compassion of giving!
Lack of infrastructure and transportation
result in incredible losses as food stocks
rot on docks and in warehouses, or are
consumed and lost to insects, rodents, etc.
Solving 'poverty' is easy; eliminate the
stupidity which stifles the solution!
