I read an article about Zimbabwe's increasing poverty, which is changing their country drastically. Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said Zimbabwe will have to "borrow and beg" because it needs very urgent attention. He says, "the situation in the country is so dire, ministries are in a very dilapidated state." This just shows that they need help very badly because obviously they can't control their own government and are turning to others in a time of need. He also says that he came after the cholera epidemic that has killed 4,000 people, and because of the shortage of food. Doctors Without Borders released a report saying that new cholera patients were being registered at a rate of one every minute at the beginning of February this year. There has been years of poor agricultural production, failed government policies, and just a widespread of corruption that have damaged Zimbabwe, which has one of the world's highest inflation rates. Many teachers and nurses have been on strike, demanding a higher pay, which has caused many schools to close. Zimbabwe is now creating an inclusive government to solve their country's problem. They are working on trying to stabilize the economy and focus on restoring everything, including schools.
