Zimbabwe

After yet another discredited election in Zimbabwe the standard reaction from the international community can likely be to turn its back once again on Zimbabwe. The result will most likely not be democratic flourishing and reforms. Instead, Zimbabwe will strengthen ties with China, Russia, and the Middle East.

Efter endnu et miskrediteret valg i Zimbabwe vil standardreaktionen fra det internationale samfund formentlig være endnu en gang at vende Zimbabwe ryggen. Og endnu en gang vil resultatet ikke være opblomstring af demokrati og reformer. I stedet vil Zimbabwe styrke båndene til Kina, Rusland og Mellemøsten.

Det er noget de har manglet det meste af den postkoloniale periode. Men er manglen på fremskridt efter Zimbabwes afkolonisering udelukkende de zimbabwiske lederes skyld? Eller bør vestlige lande også påtage sig noget ansvar?

Something they've been lacking for most of the post-colonial period. But is the lack of progress during the post-colonial era only a fault of Zimbabwean leaders? Or should Western countries also shoulder some responsibility?
