Running out of US dollars, Zimbabwe says it will print its own ‘bond notes’
Mugabe is a lot like Trump, including in economic policy and grandiosity. So .. how well does this work out?
Robert Gabriel Mugabe is the current President of Zimbabwe, serving since 22 December 1987. As one of the leaders of the rebel groups in opposition to white minority rule, he was elected Prime Minister in 1980, serving in that office as head of the government, until 1987, when he became the country’s first executive head of state. He has led the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front since 1975. As of August 2016, he is the world’s oldest and one of the longest serving Head of State. His 36 year old rule has been characterised by gross human rights violations; resulting in him joining the world list of dictators.
