The majority of central Africa is a mess. Worse is that old cred is still important despite recent wrongdoings in the case of Mugabe. Sanctions won't help though... it'll only be placed upon the poverty stricken people.

The African Union should run the Zimbabwean election offices.

It's what happens when you make a transition too early.  They went from Africa's bread basket to starving to death because they grabbed the land from white people without  plan... and just gave it to their corrupt rich friends... who didn't really do much with it.

 

That and the fact that all it takes is a small group of rebels who don't care about life (theirs or others'), who have a bunch of AKs and a couple of trucks and all of a sudden you have a force capable of oppressing thousands because they are defenseless.

The fact that about 15% of the population has HIV-AIDS does not help either.
