Zimbabwe Update

It appears that there has been positive movement on power sharing.

I'm wondering if that might have anything to do with the announcement by the MDC that they have no intention of returning land seized from white farmers, though they will, "ask the international community and multilateral lenders to help compensate farmers whose farms were confiscated by Mugabe's government since 2000".

It might also just be the fact that the only thing less popular in Zimbabwe than Mugabe is returning the land to white farmers.

In any case, even with the New Zimbabwean dollar having 10 zeros dropped, it appears that the gasoline coupon is the most trusted currency in the nation.
