Joining the ranks of other paranoid dictatorships like Myanmar and China, Mugabe is now trying to block internet content coming into Zimbabwe. When I was there a year ago, he was forcing news weather reports to go through his office because he did not want the public to know that southern Africa was mired in drought. With over half of the population starving because of the food crisis, Mugabe and his cronies continue to live well and enforce their rule with violence. Mugabe tries to make this a black versus white issue but the reality is that this is just another brutal dictatorship that wants to maintain its power. He is an equal opportunity murderer, killing anyone who gets in his way and starving everyone, black and white. Unfortunately for the population they don't have any oil reserves so people like Bush are not paying very much attention to the crisis.
