I know most of us have heard the madness going on with our comrade Robert Mugambe. After about 24 years on the driving seat at his tender age of 87, the young comrade believes that all what he needs if five more years.
The inflation of Zimb (as it's commonly known) it's about 3,000%. In short, when you go to buy bread, you need a sackload of money. In fact, 7,000 Zimbs dollars equate to 25 cents of a dollar. But how is mugambe able to keep the police, the army happy?
You guessed it, the fat corporate bank called Backlays.
Barclays Bank, which owns the naming rights to an Atlantic Yards area: "BARCLAYS is bankrolling President Robert Mugabe’s corrupt regime in Zimbabwe by providing substantial loans to cronies given land seized from white farmers. The British bank lent £750m to the country’s new landowning elite in the first half of this year, mostly through a government scheme to boost farm productivity. This weekend Barclays was under pressure to say whether it had lent money to five of Mugabe’s ministers — each named in European Union sanctions."
That's how this regimes stay afloat, through financiers who just care about the simplle bottom line. Shame on you.
