The United Nations: Its Moral as well as Legal Obligations to Zimbabwe
Mugabe "intends to stay in power until death." Bad news for Zimbabwe?
Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe, "intends to stay
in power until death." Honestly this is not the best news I've heard all
day. Nothing makes my blood boil more than a "democratically" elected
leader who has abused Marxist principles and black nationalism, and in turn robbed his people of their infrastructure, property, education, and livelihood.
Where did Mugabe go wrong? How has it gotten to this point?
Is in entirely Mugabe’s fault?

The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) is the Zimbabwean political party focused on promoting democracy in a country where it has become very dangerous to associate with politics. Formed as an opposition party to the Zimbabwean African National Union - Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), which is led by current President Robert Mugabe, the MDC brings together a number of civil society groups. The MDC is now labeled as a terrorist organization by Mugabe's government, political activists are regularly beaten and arrested, and known members of the MDC disappear. The MDC front webpage tells of three recent deaths of people closely affiliated with the MDC. The site notes that this is becoming an all too common.

As the well-publicized conflicts in Africa continue to recieve support, a mostly unheard of crisis grows. The name of this crisis is Zimbabwe or more specifically Robert Mugabe, president of Zimbabwe since 1980 and recently his term was extended until 2010. Mugabe has mis-managed economic policy and thrown out human rights. Hyperinflation and negative growth are a few of the problems which he attributes to Western sanctions and the legacy of white minoritiey rule. Reported in the news Zimbabwe is facing a massive food crisis. The government has refused aid agencies' support and again Mugabe combats calls of mis-management with the idea of an international plot to remove him from power.
