The regions around Robert Mugabe have fallen apart under loose governments. Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe ran a beautiful, prosperous nation straight into the ground. Also like The Democratic Republic of Congo’s Joseph Kabila, who is said to play video games while his country falls apart(Gettleman 1). Kagame routinely stays up to 2 or 3am to go through issues of The Economist or study progress reports from red-dirt villages across his country. He is constantly searching for better, more efficient ways to save the billion dollars his government gets each year from donor nation. These things show exactly what other nations in the region should be trying to do with the money they are given. This matters because although Kagame runs his country in a way new to Africa, what he does for his country works and shows what others should be doing. Staying up for long hours and working hard to help Rwanda has benefit the country and many of Rwanda's neighboring countries could learn from looking at what Kagame

Comparing, the Silk Road and the Great Zimbabwe has shown many similarities and differences.

As it can be seen, there are many similarities and differences regarding the Silk Road and Great Zimbabwe's lasting impacts.

In 1880, The CAR was annexed by France, and it remained a territory until gaining independence in 1960, despite being given representation in the French Parliament in 1946.

Tanzania is a beautiful country located in Eastern Africa bordered by the Indian Ocean and its neighboring countries: Kenya, Zambia, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and Mozambique. The country is home to some popular and important national habitats that contain a huge variety of plant and animal species.

Zimbabwe is corrupted in many different ways, bribery, military, prostitution, and even their Prime Minister. Since Mugabe's election in 1980 he has ruled his people with violence and intimidation. Mugabe has since been the only leader in Zimbabwe. Gold and Diamonds, Zimbabwe’s best natural resources, fueled Mugabe’s candidacy with money (Robert Mugabe Biography). Mugabe wanted to rule “his” country and have people live like he wanted them too, but most of all he hated the British colony and all whites in “his” country. He made it his life goal to threaten all intruders and whites, an all out genocide.

Even though Madagascar got its independence in 1960 it is still run much like a colony. The economy is closely tied to resource extraction. The lack of investment in Madagascar's companies has reduced the economic growth a lot. The big tilt to making this a major problem was in 2009. Now “corruption looms large in nearly every sector and every scale of Malagasy society. From police officers to professors, city governments to international cooperation, bribery and

There is that correlation is being found between the president Robert Mugabe’s election in 1980, the establishment of one party state by the unification of the ZANU and ZAPU in 1987 (Jenkins 2011, p.591), and also the economic decline of the country. By this reason, it show that, this is what caused Zimbabwe to be a failed

Since the mid 1990s, the amount of Zimbabweans living below poverty line had more than double. In 2006, the World Health Organization reported that people living in Zimbabwe had one of the lowest life expectancy in the world. The average life expectancy for women was 34 years and for men was 37 years. The World Health Organization estimated that some 3,500 Zimbabweans died every week through the deadly combination of HIV/AIDS, poverty and malnutrition. Mugabe government did not aware of his people’s well-being, especially the widely spread of HIV/AIDS. Nonetheless, that government only kept everything to maintain its hold on power and just leaving little money or no money for HIV/AIDS prevention and most of Zimbabwe suffered from malnutrition, so they needed food aid, but the government neglected about the extent of the problem, leaving them to

Much due to president Mugabe’s rule, Zimbabwe has struggled with several issues over the years and not all are economy related.
