Le 28 juin, le gouvernement a ordonné aux commerçants de diviser les prix par deux et de les geler à ce niveau. Plus de 12.000 d'entre eux qui ne s'étaient pas pliés à la mesure ont payé des amendes.

"Le gouvernement est le régulateur global de l'économie", a déclaré à l'AFP le ministre des Finances Samuel Mumbengegwi, se réjouissant des dernières statistiques.

La réduction des prix avait été bien accueillie par les Zimbabwéens, qui se sont rués sur des biens de première nécessité jusqu'alors hors de portée. Mais la mesure a aggravé les pénuries, les producteurs ne parvenant plus à couvrir leurs coûts, et les consommateurs sont contraints d'acheter au marché noir.

Je ne vois pas d'autre explication à cette manie qu'ils ont d'hâter leur propre déposition par les armes.

Mais bon, "Ne pas expliquer par la malveillance ce qui s'explique fort bien par la bêtise".

Je signale que cela fait quand même vingt-cinq ans que Mugabe s'ingénie à pratiquer une politique socialiste.

Ceci s'explique probablement tout simplement par le fait qu'elle lui permet de maximiser son pouvoir tout en conservant l'approbation du Club des Républiques Socialistes de l'ONU.

Zimbabwe a laughing stock, says Mugabe

The malnutrition that afflicts millions of Zimbabweans has reduced the country to a "laughing stock", President Robert Mugabe has admitted.

Distributing equipment to black farmers resettled on land seized from white owners, he said: "We have become the laughing stock because of hunger. We all need to eat, whether you are Zanu-PF or MDC. Let's unite."

Since Mr Mugabe began confiscating farms Zimbabwe has gone from being an agricultural exporter to a country where millions need food aid. He blames supposed Western sabotage for the situation, rather than his own actions.

An international court is to be asked to rule on the seizure programme. Papers filed with the Southern Africa Development Community Tribunal accuse Mr Mugabe's regime of illegal racial discrimination and violations of human rights.

The first case to be brought before the tribunal, based in Windhoek, the Namibian capital, since it was set up seven years ago, is being described as a test for the rule of law in the region.

The action is being brought by Michael Campbell, one of the few hundred white growers left in Zimbabwe, who has suffered multiple land invasions and threats of violence at his farm in Chegutu.

As well as an urgent injunction, his representatives are seeking a declaration that the constitutional amendments behind the farm seizures are illegal.

If the tribunal rules in favour of Mr Campbell it would open the way for all the farmers dispossessed since 2000 to mount challenges of their own, although whether the court's judgment could be enforced is another matter.

One person with knowledge of the case said: "The critical thing is who gets to sit on the tribunal.

"The test for the tribunal is whether it is prepared to hold Zimbabwe to its treaty obligations."

Et pendant ce temps, on nous passe des pubs sur les millions de ventres qui ont faim en essayant à peine subtilement de nous faire culpabiliser.

Quelques pistes d'explication pour Mugabe et ses idiots utiles, c'est la faute :

1) des judéo-chrétiens blancs occidentaux (inusable, quoique très usité)

2) du colonialisme (un peu ancien, mais ça marche)

3) du sionisme (le must, à lier au suivant)

4) du néolibéralisme (ne veut rien dire mais suscite l'approbation pavlovienne de la gôche)

5) des Etats-Unis (explication d'urgence, à utiliser en dernier recours)

‘Miracle’ fuel that made a mockery of Mugabe

When Nomatter Tagarira, a spirit medium, claimed that she could conjure refined diesel out of a rock by striking it with her staff, ministers in Robert Mugabe’s Government believed that they might have found the solution to Zimbabwe’s perennial fuel shortage.

After witnessing her apparently miraculous gift they gave her five billion Zimbabwean dollars in cash (worth £1.7 million at the start of the year but now worth one seven-hundredth of that) in return for the fuel. Ms Tagarira was also given a farm, said to have been seized from its white owner during Mr Mugabe’s lawless land grab, as well as food and services that included a round-the-clock armed guard on the rock in the district of Chinhoyi 60 miles (100km) from Harare, the capital.

More than a year later officials realised they had been duped. […]

Zimbabwe bank issues $10million bill - but it won't even buy you a hamburger in Harare

Last updated at 12:47pm on 19th January 2008

Forget the glitzy restaurants of New York and London: only in Zimbabwe would a hamburger actually cost millions of dollars.

The central bank of the southern African country has a issued a 10million Zimbabwe dollar note. The move increases the denomination of the nation's highest bank note more than tenfold.

Even so, a hamburger in an ordinary cafe in Zimbabwe costs 15 million Zimbabwe dollars.

A new high: The ten million dollar note introduced by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe

The hope is that such a move will help end chronic cash shortages and disperse long, chaotic lines at banks and automated teller machines.

Reserve Bank Governor Gideon Gono said in a statement the 10 million Zimbabwe dollars notes will be issued along with 1 million and 5 million Zimbabwe dollars bills.

Previously, the highest existing note, introduced last month, was for 750,000 Zimbabwe dollars.

The new 10 million note is the equivalent of about £2 at the dominant black market exchange rate. A hamburger at an ordinary cafe costs about 15 million Zimbabwe dollars (£3).

That hamburger has trebled in price this month amid shortages of bread, meat and most basic goods.

This is how many Zimbabwe dollars were needed to buy a loaf of bread

Zimbabwe faces the world's highest official inflation of an estimated 25,000 per cent. Independent financial institutions say real inflation is closer to 150,000 per cent.

Acknowledging the inflation crisis, Gono said individuals would be allowed to withdraw an increased limit of 500 million Zimbabwe dollars (£100) in a single daily withdrawal, up from 50 million (£10).

He said special arrangements were being made to pay soldiers, police and other uniformed services "because it is not desirable to see them queuing for cash".

Gono said with higher denomination bills businesses might be tempted to again raise prices of scarce goods.

"If this happens the whole objective of solving the cash shortages and to bring convenience to the people will be defeated," he said.

In August 2006, the central bank slashed three zeros from the nation's old currency.
