Mugabe


1.-who is mugabe ? how long has he been in power? how popular is he?
Mugabe is the president of Zimbabue. he has been in power since 1980, almost 29 years. his populrit has descendes over the past years, in the begining he was considered to be a hero, but because of their current economic crisis and some rurmors about him making legegal things and participating in the masacre that ocurred during the 1980's his popularity is now very low.

2.-who is morgan tsvangirai? ad was its his political role?
he is the prime minister of zimbabue, and he is against mugabe in his political ideal.

3.-what happend during the last years elections? what was the outcome?
during the 2008 zimbbue elections, they closed it before time. and mugabe won the elections for the 6th time

4.-which is the economic situation in zimbabue? how does the people feel about it?
the economic situtation in zimbabue is critical, they dont have any money and the little money that they do have, they spent it in a party for the president they dont even like. the people are desperate for a new governer and the crisis with the cholera is making things worse, the nurses and the hospital managers are begin for help. 

5.-what do you think of the celebration of the labish party?
I think that its ok to celebrate his party and let people go to it, but its wrong to spend that kind of money in a foolish party when his country is dying of desease and hunger. that money should be spent ion the hospital or in food, to help his country. 

1.-  "cholera crisis" I think this is the greater conflict in zimbabue because its is killing people very fast and the country is in such a crisis that they dont have any money to buy any medicine, the hospitals and the people are suferring, and nothing is been done about it. 

2.-the population of zimbabue is involved in this crisis, and also the president mugabe that is not doing anything about it. 

3.- the outbreak is likely to continue as the water and sanitation is geting worse, with severe shortages of potable water, sewage and waste disposal problems reported in most of the populated areas.  since last year around september the cholera desease began, and since then it has killed almost 3731 people. the president mugabe instead of buying medicine e spends an enoprmous amount of money in his birthday party.

4.- timeline
  • the cholera out break began around August in the little town of chitugwiza
  • 10 of december 2008, 16141 suspected cases of chorela and 775 resultant deaths (case fatality of 4.8%)
  • in Jan 25, cholera has killed nearly 2,800 people in neighbouring Zimbabue and infeted more than 40,000 since it broke in last august, doctors and nurses ask for imidiate help to the government
  • Zimbabue's president Mugabe spends lots of money in his birthday, instead of using it for the cholera crisis in his country, the population is furious.
  • the cholera kills over 3000 people and other 5700 infected.
5.- How do you think this problem can be solved? why?
I think that this problem could be solved, if he goverment focused all of their attention and money to the il people, and in medicine. hospitals are begin for hep, and helping them would also be a good impresion for the president, but when he spends tons of money into his birthday party he throws away his chance of people liking him.
