It's been 28 years. Bob Marley played at the man's inauguration. Zimbabwe (Southern Rohdesia) was one of the last British colonies to gain independence. The nation has existed about as long as I have been alive.
I'm saddened to see how power has corrupted a man who says that nothing but God will remove him from power. He must have been a hero back in the day because the people loved him. Now 28 years later, Mugabe is a tyrant living in luxury while his people find themselves facing 2,000,000% (2M%) inflation. When Jen was there 5 years ago, it was more cost-effective to use paper currency for toilet paper than to buy toilet paper with the currency. Now it's 5 years later.
Humbly, I can start to see how Pat Robertson wanted to "take out" Hugo Chavez in Venezuela back in 2005. I'm disgusted that I'm even tempted by the thought that violence now will bring peace later.

Agreed. Mugabe is destroying his country and must relinquish power if it is to recover.
