Deadly cholera outbreak: Zimbabwe's latest affliction

#3  Have you ever seen pictures or read about Zimbabwe? It's beautiful and the interior plains are ideal for agriculture. If they can't make it happen there, they can't make it happen, period. Some of the best farmland in the world and they are sitting on it starving to death.

#1  Does anyone think that modern civilization will ever come to Africa?

It seems like the whole continent is stuck in a miasma of middle age style wars, plagues and misery.

Does the maxim about "the government they deserve" hold?
