Cholera has killed 775 in Zimbabwe, U.N. says

Zimbabwe's government says the disease is under control but aid agencies warn that coming rains could spreading cholera further in a population already weakened by disease and hunger.
With hundreds of people fleeing the country to seek treatment, cholera has already spread to Zimbabwe's neighbors. Nine deaths were reported Tuesday in South Africa.
President Robert Mugabe is coming under increasing pressure as concern about the country's deepening humanitarian and political crisis mounts. President George W. Bush, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have all called recently for the 84-year-old leader to step down.

What I find interesting of this essay is the lying. Zimbabwe has had government problems since I don't know when. Robert Mugabe is corrupt, and has no concern for his people. Cholera is a disease that breaks out because of the lack of clean drinking water. What could be done to help these people is purification plants. But the only problem with this is money. Mugabe does not feel like he can change this situation, and declares that the west has brougth cholera to his country. Well, even if the west did it, you should still find the heart to treat the people of your country. I think That Angus Shaw has written and effective article shining daylight on a developing issue. This article continues on MSNBC. One other article that I read claimed that Zimbabwe was on the verge of self destruction.
