Cricketing while Zimbabwe starves
Samizdata post on if it were not for cricket, the world may have totally ignored the death spiral that is Zimbabwe.
With the minds of the world’s intervening classes fully occupied elsewhere, Zimbabwe is now a problem too small for those who might otherwise have done something about it to be bothered with, yet still too big and difficult for anyone else to be able to handle. So, Robert Mugabe’s monstrous and murderous political machine will continue to churn its way through what remains of the country and its institutions.
Where is the UN again when it comes to saving the people of Zimbabwe?
