A report on the radio this past weekend, stated the USA had sent XXX tons of food to Zimbabwe. I am livid! The socialists and '60's hippies who work in our government have no idea how to correct the problem in Zim. Sending food is a waste of maney and resources. Who says Mugabe will distribute the food? He may sell it to China or Viet Nam!
Maize, the regional staple, is a fungible, it gets mixed in with other maize and distributed on a regional basis.
The problem is that Mugabe's bureaucracy is interfering with the logistics and Mugabe's thugs are interfering with the distribution.
