My Favorite Shiny Faced Dictator...

Schizophreniac madman President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, planned televised speech on solving the country's electricity shortage was blacked out due to a power outage in the capital.

Widespread power outages struck Zimbabwe on Tuesday, blacking out much of President Robert Mugabe's state of the nation address in which he promised to address the country's chronic electricity shortages.

this fellow is the poster boy of why dictators are bad for countries. Despite short-term solutions offered by despots in a time of crisis [as was once argued to me by an officer if the anti-corruption police unit here in Hong Kong that thought that during the Asian crisis that Hong Kong could use a dictator to straighten things out], they tend to hang around for additional 20-30 years completely screwing up stuff and sometimes sending the country back to the stoneage as Mugabe has done with Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe was once called the bread-basket of Africa but now cannot even come close to feeding itself.

Still coddled by the clueless morons at the UN, but shirked by the dictator and autocratic loving Chinese communists since Zimbabwe has no oil, his time has come and gone decades ago.
