news article on Zim: click on seattletimes.com
The situation in Zimbabwe continues to be difficult, and as usual when elections are coming (next year, 2008), tensions continue to rise. There are major problems in Zimbabwe (as those of you who read the papers would know), problems that are difficult to solve. Nothing is as obvious as outsiders assume, and we have continued to be in this situation not because we are apathetic, but because we who live there see and know things that outsiders may simply not "get". As with any other country. So, no, the solution is not simple; in fact, it would be nothing short of extraordinary if someone found a simple solution now.

The inflation rate simply overwhelms me. I couldn't imagine how something similar would affect our town or country. The black market just becomes a way of life it seems. How else do people survive? And then, if everyone is doing it...what makes it a black market as opposed to the 'new economy'. Its a country divided in two.
It's unreal, isn't it? The good thing is that things are building up to a climax, and sooner or later things will blow (not good, but we need change i guess). I just hope no one is hurt when it does, and that it is peaceful, and in the right direction....
How are you doing this week Shona? Hope all is well! Just wanted to say hello!
