HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — "Zimbabwe on Saturday accused the West of waging biological warfare to deliberately start a cholera epidemic that has killed hundreds of people and sickened thousands.
The spread of the disease has focused the world's attention on the southern African nation's spectacular collapse."
After the first cholera cases, U.S. and other aid workers braced for the waterborne disease to spread quickly in an economically ravaged country where the sewage system and medical care have fallen apart. Zimbabwe also faces a hunger crisis, the world's highest inflation and shortages of both the most basic necessities and the cash to buy them.
The Herald quoted the information minister, Sikhanyiso Ndlovu, as blaming cholera on "serious biological chemical war ... a genocidal onslaught on the people of Zimbabwe by the British."
"Cholera is a calculated racist terrorist attack on Zimbabwe by the unrepentant former colonial power which has enlisted support from its American and Western allies so that they invade the country," Ndlovu was quoted as saying."
The fools and idiots of sub-Saharan Africa are at it again. One more failed state ruled by a corrupt despot who drives the country into the ground. Of course, they blame everything bad that happens there on the West. What terrible absurdities! How can anyone trust or deal rationally with insanity like this?

You might be interested to know that the British Red Cross launched an appeal on 11 December to help thousands of people affected by cholera and food shortages in Zimbabwe and the surrounding region. Red Cross volunteers have been on the ground in Zimbabwe since the beginning of the cholera epidemic to help with delivering clean water and focusing largely on public education.
