A former Caribbean Head of Government, who should know, told me a few months ago that the only way Robert Mugabe is leaving Zimbabwe is “feet first”. In other words, Mugabe will die before relinquishing power in Zimbabwe.

Ecco le banconote che circolano in Zimbabwe (wiki).Dovuto a una superinflazione del 231'000'000% annuo, le autorita' sono state costrette a emettere banconote di tagli sempre maggiori.

Due to the country's hyperinflation rate of over 231,000,000% a year, the financial authorities were forced to release larger and larger bills in order to help people buy the simplest things without carrying bricks of bills with them.

In fact, reading the article, I agree: Obiang is a master of dictators
