Description
After 25 years in power, Robert Mugabe is under increasing pressure to step down and allow democratic reform in Zimbabwe. Amnesty International rates the country among the worst for torture and abuse of human rights, the Commonwealth has suspended Zimbabweโs membership, and even in Africa there is growing outrage at what some see as a rogue state.In the past five years, millions of words have been written about the tragedy including more than a dozen books but few have focused on what might happen when freedom comes.
As things stand, schools and hospitals have collapsed, a third of the population lives in exile and 3 000 people die of AIDS every week. Once Africaโs second-biggest exporter of food, 70 per cent of the country lives under conditions of famine in the wake of violent land reform. What will it take to rebuild Zimbabwe?
