Zimbabwe: unemployment rates are at 70%; inflation reached 2000%. What used to be the granary of Africa now depends by one third from food aid coming from abroad, due both to a long period of drought and to an ineffective agrarian reform. President <A rel="tag" target="_blank" ,="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mugabe">Robert Mugabe</A> talks about international conspiracies against his country.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.benettontalk.com/2006/11/fuel_for_sex.html">

In this frightful sketch, Libya and Kuwait, who used to provide gasoline to <A target="_blank" ,="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwe">Zimbabwe</A>, stopped to do it as they realized they wouldn’t be longer paid for it. Now, on the highway between Harare and Beitbridge, towards the South African border, the main attraction are the so-called highway girls, who sell their bodies for gasoline.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/45B37D99-9226-40A7-B1E2-386D430B883E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
