Zimbabwe is a country rich in natural resources, once known as the "breadbasket of Africa", with an economy second only to South Africa, and the Zimbabwe dollar is as strong as the US dollar. The country also has a well-developed industrial system, covering agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and other fields. The people of this country are also billionaires, spending money by the pound and treating money like dung. What an amazing country it is!
But behind the splendor of this kingdom lies a tragic reality. Young people here, 90% of whom are unemployed, numb themselves every day by drinking a liquid called "cough syrup", which contains a lot of cocaine, which can cause hallucinations and pleasure, but also can cause serious physical and mental damage. This liquid is the "cough syrup" that can ruin a country.
Why did Zimbabwe fall to such a point?Let's start with its history.
Colonization The history of Zimbabwe is a history of colonization. In modern times, the country was colonized by the British for almost half a century, and the British colonists bought mining rights from the local kings, plundering the country's resources on a large scale, while also exploiting the local blacks and making them live a miserable life.
The revolt of the blacks is a history of liberation. During the period when Zimbabwe was colonized, the original black people constantly fought for independence and equality, and finally made Zimbabwe** two regions, one ruled by white Rhodesia and the other ruled by black Zimbabwe.
Independence Zimbabwe's independence has been a difficult one. In the middle of the 20th century, Zimbabwe's prime minister announced his unilateral independence from British rule, but Britain and other African countries did not recognize this nascent regime, but instead sanctioned and suppressed it, causing Zimbabwe to fall into civil war and turmoil.
Peace Peace in Zimbabwe is a history of miracles. In 1978, Zimbabwe's blacks and whites reconciled, and Zimbabwe was reunited and recognized by the international community. The country embarked on the path of capitalism and became a developed country in Africa, with tremendous economic and social progress.
The decline of Zimbabwe is a tragic history. After a brief period of prosperity, Zimbabwe is plunged into a new crisis. On the issue of land**, Britain violated the previous agreement and refused to provide funds to Zimbabwe, instead demanding that Zimbabwe return the land. Zimbabwe**, in order to protect the country's sovereignty, rejected the British demands, which led to internal conflicts and conflicts.
Inflation Inflation in Zimbabwe is an absurd history. In response to the crisis in the country, Zimbabwe** has been printing money in an attempt to stimulate the economy and consumption, but it has caused hyperinflation, soaring prices, currency depreciation, and a sharp decline in people's living standards. Zimbabwe's inflation rate has reached a staggering 80 billion yuan, creating the largest denomination of paper money in human history, with a single banknote containing 100 trillion yuan.
The fall of Zimbabwe is a sad history. In the midst of the economic and social collapse, the people of Zimbabwe have lost hope and confidence, especially young people, who have no jobs and no future, and can only escape reality by relying on a liquid called "cough syrup", which contains large amounts of cocaine, which can cause hallucinations and pleasure, but also cause serious physical and mental damage. Seventy per cent of young people in Zimbabwe spend their days on the streets, holding brown medicine bottles, drinking "cough syrup", dancing and forgetting their pain.
The future The future of Zimbabwe is an unknown history. This country has had its glory, setbacks, struggles, and sinks, and its history is a microcosm and a warning. Its future depends on its people, whether they can get rid of the "cough syrup"**, regain their faith and strength, and rebuild a peaceful and prosperous country. This is a question worth pondering....
