"Crocodile: The country is on the verge of a famine, and the United Nation has warned Mugabe that half of the country’s 12 million people are now in danger of starvation. But he has spurned offers of more international food aid, saying “Why do they want to choke us with their food? We have enough.” And one of his most senior ministers, on hearing of the UN famine projections, implied that such a die-off, at least in opposition areas, was actually desirable. “We would be better off with only six million people, with our own people, who supported the liberation struggle. We don’t want these extra people."
