“A severe drought has resulted in a 95% crop failure in the south and in villages around Plumtree....”
“Yet this works in Mugabe’s favour because he will again be able to use food as a political tool in the run-up to elections next March.”
The ugly situation in Zimbabwe will also no doubt be shown as an example of Global Warming, and works in the Democrats favor in the run-up to elections next year.

Actually, Zimbabwe was very well-to-do before the white farms were seized.
After seizing the white farms, they stopped producing food for some reason (try mismanagement).
