The World Health Organisation (WHO) says the cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe has reached unprecedented proportions.

More than 3,000 people have died and about 63,000 are infected by the water-borne disease.

Al Jazeera travelled to remote parts of the country and witnessed the extent of the epidemic.

The sanctions that exist are against a very limited number of corrupt ZANU officials like Mujurus, Mugabes, Zvinavashe etc. and businesses owned by them. The list is less than 200 names; other 15 million Zimbabweans and all fair Zim businesses are free to trade with anyone abroad. Furthermore the sanctions that exist are by US and EU only. Other countries did not join these sanctions, so 200 thieves have no restrictions to trade with or stash their money in China, SA, and all other countries.

And you can thank the US and Britain for supporting Mugabe and ousting then prime minister Ian Smith (that had built Rhodesia into a vibrant economy). But of course you won't read a word about it in the mainstream press. They are two fucking embarrased that they supported this fucking despot monkey to lead the country into devastation and abject poverty. Be careful what you fucking ask for. Democracy does not work in Africa..PERIOD. Get a fucking clue already. Politicians are so clueless........

AbriannaSt: Your comment on this video seems to be the only kind, decent thoughts towards these victims. By the Grace of God, I go thee. This could happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime and to help one another is what we are supposed to be about, not rejoice in others misery and death. Peace to you and many blessings...

lol idiot if something bad happend to america no one would be strong enough to save us

[AbriannaSt]

What it take to get through people head that its no longer about color or who's more dominate...its about saving the human race. people cant help that they weren't born in america where vaccines are availible. you should help anyone if you can because you never know when america can have an outbreak and we would have to reach out to other countries. Have a heart and do something in your life that will keep an everlasting meaning to who we are as people

Right, and thats why Botswana, South Africa, Benin and Cape Verde have all managed to maintain stable democracies in the new millenium. Yep because "them monkeys" can't run countries. Fuck off, Mugabe is a monster, but that doesn't mean that all African politicians are the same. Africa has not had the greatest of histories, I can say that things are changing. Bigoted remarks only help to cloud the issue; and claiming that you are better than africans by some divine mandate shows YOUR ignorance.
