Introduction Zimbabwe
Background:The UK annexed Southern Rhodesia from the [British] South AfricaCompany in 1923. A 1961 constitution was formulated that favoredwhites in power. In 1965 the government unilaterally declared itsindependence, but the UK did not recognize the act and demanded morecomplete voting rights for the black African majority in the country(then called Rhodesia). UN sanctions and a guerrilla uprisingfinally led to free elections in 1979 and independence (as Zimbabwe)in 1980. Robert MUGABE, the nation's first prime minister, has beenthe country's only ruler (as president since 1987) and has dominatedthe country's political system since independence. His chaotic landredistribution campaign, which began in 2000, caused an exodus ofwhite farmers, crippled the economy, and ushered in widespreadshortages of basic commodities. Ignoring international condemnation,MUGABE rigged the 2002 presidential election to ensure hisreelection. Opposition and labor strikes in 2003 were unsuccessfulin pressuring MUGABE to retire early; security forces continuedtheir brutal repression of regime opponents. The ruling ZANU-PFparty used fraud and intimidation to win a two-thirds majority inthe March 2005 parliamentary election, allowing it to amend theconstitution at will and recreate the Senate, which had beenabolished in the late 1980s. In April 2005, Harare embarked onOperation Restore Order, ostensibly an urban rationalizationprogram, which resulted in the destruction of the homes orbusinesses of 700,000 mostly poor supporters of the opposition,according to UN estimates. ZANU-PF announced in December 2006 thatthey would combine presidential and parliamentary elections in 2010to ensure MUGABE remains in office.

Economy Zimbabwe
Economy - overview:The government of Zimbabwe faces a wide variety of difficulteconomic problems as it struggles with an unsustainable fiscaldeficit, an overvalued exchange rate, soaring inflation, and bareshelves. Its 1998-2002 involvement in the war in the DemocraticRepublic of the Congo drained hundreds of millions of dollars fromthe economy. The government's land reform program, characterized bychaos and violence, has badly damaged the commercial farming sector,the traditional source of exports and foreign exchange and theprovider of 400,000 jobs, turning Zimbabwe into a net importer offood products. Badly needed support from the IMF has been suspendedbecause of the government's arrears on past loans, which it beganrepaying in 2005. The official annual inflation rate rose from 32%in 1998, to 133% in 2004, 585% in 2005, and approached 1000% in2006, although private sector estimates put the figure much higher.Meanwhile, the official exchange rate fell from approximately 1(revalued) Zimbabwean dollar per US dollar in 2003 to 250 per USdollar in August 2006.
