Zimbabwe

Make sure you have some time for this one. A fascinating look at Robert Mugabe from The New Yorker.

I recently watched The Last King of Scotland and was struck by the similarities between the current actions of Mugabe and Amin (minus Mugabe's very formal education) in the 70s.

oh baby I have nothing BUT time. Could you actually post 45 additional long articles for me to read because I actually have nothing to do and could use some interesting articles to take up all the hours of my day that I sit and do nothing.

I'd be happy to do that. Is Africa your topic of choice this week?
