Throughout the past couple of years much has been made of life in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe's leader for 29 years, Robert Mugabe, was once seen as a stable and capable leader. A long time freedom fighter for the oppressed black majority, Mugabe rose to power in the early 1980s. Yet, recently Mugabe has fallen into despotism. He seemingly exerts absolute control over his nation and seems less and less willing to embrace the democratic principles he once stood for.
Using the two articles provided to you, please comment. Discuss in what ways Mugabe's government is undemocratic and what, if anything, you believe the U.S. should do in response.
Comment should be at least 500 words.
