Zimbabwe 'disaster' as famine looms. The Zimbabwean Government declares a state of disaster as food
shortages threaten widespread starvation. [BBC News: world]
Another country destroyed by a communist leader--in this case, because Mugabe sent gangs of looters to destroy the country's farms. Hopefully people can flee the country.
