Here is a very interesting article, of all places, The ECONOMIST shedding light on the very precarious position Zim has put itself in recent years!!

It is going to be very interesting to keep an eye on life in Zim as Mugabe's Reign winds down and another takes command?? Katy bar the door...things could happen!!

Cheers,

I truly hope I am wrong--but I expect a civil war when Mugabe goes-

With at least a 75% chance that it spills in RSA as Zuma weakens-

God bless and protect out friends there, I am afraid they are going to need the help.

One possibility is the entry of China. I wouldn't presume to predict what they might do, or how, but it seems there would be an opportunity.

China will not enter the mess. They will wait to see who wins, then buy them off.

Putin is a different story. That idiot is trying to recreate the Soviet Union. I wouldn't shocked to see him get involved in Africa, especially if the price of oil goes back up.


Go Duke!!

China is already busy with a under cover process of invation if you really have to start looking at the chinese populations in the Southern Africa countries.

I was in Kampala the day in '85 Obote was overthrown for the second time and had some hairy experiences in Congo Brazzaville and the then southern Sudan back in the day.Rampaging Zimbabwe masses are all about looting flatscreens and if you stay in the bush or indoors for a day or two all will be well.The real threat of civil war comes AFTER a transition to democracy, not during. Don't let the rumors put you off - think of the stories you'd have to tell!

Mugabe's "hat is out of rabbits." Thank God.

I'd agree whole-heartedly, but it will only be out of rabbits when he breathes his last and not before.He's the quintessential political survivor, and even if he's tired he keeps his own party in line as much with patronage as anything else and his underlings won't be too happy about moving away from the trough.So the path of least resistance for them is to prop him up, not challenge him just yet. He probably asked for a little more time than Faust did when he made his deal.

Just like us Obnoxious Americans to offer unwanted advice on how to fix the worlds problems. I think that Zimbabwe is going to be open up for business in a big way agriculturally. Look at the success farmers are having in Northern Botswana. Companies like Monsanto have sales reps in Kenya and RSA already and soon farmers in Zim will be able to purchase drought and herbicide resistant seeds. It may also be that farmers can get proper heavy equipment with out paying a 100% import tax to the government. I am optimistic in a positive way for the future of Zimbabwe.

Whoever follows Mugabe will take the predictable "Now it is my turn" approach to government.
