AN end to the suffering of the Zimbabwean people under Robert Mugabe may be in sight, although not because of any effective action against him by other African states or, indeed, by those Western advocates of active intervention in other countries whose populations have been oppressed. The truth is that Zimbabwe is about to implode. An organisation known as the Heads of Agencies Contact Group, whose 34 members working in Zimbabwe include the United Nations, the International Federation of the Red Cross and Oxfam, has reported that within six months Mugabe's government will be paralysed by inflation and that the possibility of civil unrest cannot be ruled out. The cost of living for an average urban family rose by 66 per cent last month and in April inflation stood at 3'700 per cent. Employers in Zimbabwe may soon have to pay their staff on a daily basis because prices are escalating so rapidly.
