    Default Nothing has changed here – the ruling elite still control the people

    A once familiar Zimbawean author and BBC reporter Peter Godwin has this short commentary (it maybe behind a paywall). Here is a his final passage:
    In the meantime, Zimbabwe will continue to skitter along the bottom, except for the tiny, ruling elite who are buoyed by their looting. And its most talented sons and daughters will continue haemorrhaging into the diaspora. The size of a country’s tragedy should be measured against its potential. Zimbabwe, by rights one of the wealthiest and most educated countries in Africa, is cementing its record as a tragedy of great proportion.
