"Denmark is the happiest nation and Zimbabwe the the most glum, he found*. (Zimbabwe's longtime ruler Robert Mugabe was sworn in as president for a sixth term Sunday after a widely discredited runoff in which he was the only candidate. Observers said the runoff was marred by violence and intimidation.)"
Almost a Mugambo like reaction {from Mr India] by the Zimbabwean Mugabe after telling the West [read the Brits] go "hang". Amidst huge human rights violation and a bloody trail his rule has brought on the people, will the story continue as it has been since he came into power in 1980? Will international pressure just continue to "mount" or something concrete come out of it? Will the UN finally intervene or just allow statistics to fly around? Or do we wait for more instances like the April seizure of babies and kids and torture of citizens to get some alleviation?
btw, a shocking detail about Zimbabwe: According to the World Health Organization, Zimbabwe has the world’s shortest life expectancy—37 years for men and 34 for women. It also has the greatest percentage of orphans (about 25%, says UNICEF) and the worst annual inflation rate (1,281% as of last month).
