So has anyone heard about what is going on in Zimbabwe. It seems ridiculous that such atrocities could go on for more than one business day. Apparently sewage lines were ruptured in a major city and the seweage leaked into the streets, a hostel and is also polluting a local river that is a main source of water supply to Zimbabwe. With the river polluted there is a massive outbreak of cholera. In addition to this moive plot of a tragedy the collapsing economy has prompted doctors, nurses and teachers to go on strike until they recieve a pay increase. On top of this there is also a failing economy that is forcing many people to scavenge for wild fruits, and edible roots for survival. It is rumored that this cholera outbreak is occuring in regions where there was strong support for a political party in opposition of Mugabe.
This is unreal, there are reports of power outages, death from cholera is spreading. Many clinics and hospitals have run out of medication, and have been forced to close becuase of a shortage of staff. Many ill patients are being asked to leave the hospitals and have no where else to go. I found this news and the picture above at:
