A Cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe has so far killed 792 people with many more expected to die. Non Profit Organizations in Zimbabwe have predicted that if the spread of Cholera is not contained, up to 60,000 people could be infected with the disease. Contrary to what aid agencies have said, President Robert Mugabe announced that the spread of Cholera has been halted. Furthermore, Mugabe has placed blame on former colonial power Great Britain for causing the outbreak. A Zimbabwean minister, Mr Ndlovu, said that the government possesses "factual information on how Cholera was brought to Zimbabwe". According to Mr. Ndlovu, the outbreak is a "genocidal onslought on the people of Zimbabwe by the British still fighting to re-colonize Zimbabwe." The minister also states that "Cholera is a calculated rascist terrorist attack".

These are harsh words by the government of Zimbabwe concerning Britains involvement in its latest plot to re-colonize the former "breadbasket of Africa". If any respectable nation had uttered such serious accussatinos, one might pause for a second and wonder if there was any truth behind it. But Zimbabwe has long ago lost any respectability and Britain is used to such accusations. Britain, along with other Western nations, have been blamed before for Zimbabwes hardships. Everything that goes wrong in Zimbabwe is conveneintly caused by western sabatoge. Zimbabwe has even accused its neighbor Zambia of being "hired by Britain to press for a speedy regime change in Harare."

Mugabe is fast losing control of his country. Inflation is out of this world, famine is griping the nation, and now recently Cholera is spreading. Mugabe has managed with brute force to stay in power, but he still has to deal with power sharing talks with the unbudging opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai. Mugabe has long ago found it easiest to blame Zimbabwe's woes on others, most notebly Britain. This is only a sign however, that things have gotten out of hand and the situation cannot be properly dealt with. Mugabe will soon either have to admit defeat, or his closest allies will have no choice but to turn against him. The time when Mugabe is no longer able to provide food for his sucurity forces will be the end of Mugabe. That time is getting closer by the day.
