national vision says: Dereliction of duty best describes the indictment befitting a regime that has consistently failed its people for nearly three decades with Mugabe as its Commander-in-chief. The end-product of this incompetence has been an impoverished nation whose out-of-touch government cannot even afford to feed starving citizens or take care of the sick as productive farms were looted and hospitals left bereft of the most basic supplies and manpower, respectively. It would have been unimaginable 10 years ago that Zimbabwe, Africa's breadbasket, would ever experience a situation where outside help would ever be needed to help feed nearly half of its population facing starvation. The quality of life has drastically plummeted for all these years and the Zimbabwean story has become a glaring epitome of destitution.
