This is unfortunate, as the poor will be hurt the worst by this ill-advised decision. How will the government pay for it? Starting industry isn’t cheap especially with capital controls and no foreign investors. This will only embolden the black market, but maybe that’s what their corrupt government officials benefit from? Same mistakes mugabe made.
Neera, does this look like authoritarianism to you? Something the Global Community should do something about, to protect the people of Zimbabwe (who I believe are crying out for help from the West)?
I mean, it’s obviously authoritarianism. The government will subject the poor to horrible conditions. We’ve protected the people of Zimbabwe from Mugabe with sanctions, and it seems we have to step in here as well. If we don’t advocate for the poor, imperialistic China will step in, and impose borderline slavery conditions on workers
