Star Hotgyal Cole
Ok I’m up now wish it was a nightmare but it wasn’t. (Sign smh). I’ve lost a few friends to physical abuse ending fatal and I’ve always said that could never be me but Last night could of been one of those nights for me, it was one of the worse nights of my entire life. I felt like I was being raped over and over again and could hardly do anything about it. I never open up about my personal problems but this had to get aired out. Imagine being in a room with someone who’s constantly inflicting pain on you for little or no reason and all you could think about is which one of us will end up in the hospital tonight…..smh I never had serious thoughts of killing someone before but last night was a night where if I saw no future in tomorrow I’d either end up in prison or wined up Dead and this is #real talk.
FEMALES DON’T EVER EVER EVER LET ANYBODY ABUSE YOU EVER. #not cool

Chinese expats caught eating endangered Zimbabwe tortoises
Four reptile-eating Chinese nationals face deportation from Zimbabwe this week for keeping an endangered species of tortoise for their dinner table.

The expat workers Zhang Hongyuan, Chen Caijan, Lin Guibin and Shi Jiahua obtained rare Bell’s Hinged tortoises “for personal consumption”.
When police and animal welfare officials raided the Chinese workers’ homes near Bikita, in southeastern Zimbabwe, they found the meat and skeletal remains from 40 of the at risk reptiles.
They had been dropped into boiling water while still alive in order to separate the meat from the shell, villagers living next to the Chinese workers claimed in witness statements.
A further 13 tortoises were discovered in steel drums without water or food.
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species lists the Bell’s Hinged tortoise as endangered – and local Zimbabwean wildlife officials said the number of the animals has dwindled in recent years.

What does China want from Zimbabwe? 10 Feb 2011
China to encourage better local relations in Zimbabwe 19 Jun 2011
The Zimbabwe National Society for the Protection of Cruelty to animals, ZNSPCA, said the four Chinese nationals admitted to breaking the country’s Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
They also admitted to living and working in Zimbabwe without the correct immigration documents, said the ZNSPCA’s Ed Lance.
The tortoises, considered a delicacy in China, are among many rare animals that fetch high prices among diners.
It is estimated more than 5,000 Chinese are working and in living in Zimbabwe. The two countries have signed scores of trade agreements, most recently a lucrative diamond mining contract.
But relations between locals and the Chinese are brittle. Last year, China had to send a special delegation to the country to encourage better relations between Chinese expats and locals after reports of inhumane treatment and underpayment by the “new colonial master”.
HMMM
Mugabe’s Zimbabwe – the heart of darkness
Joel Brinkley, © 2012 Joel Brinkley
Sunday, February 19, 2012
The United Nations is warning that the humanitarian situation in Zimbabwe remains extremely fragile.
There’s a bit of diplomatic understatement if I’ve ever heard one.
Trying to determine who is the world’s most destructive national leader might seem like a daunting assignment. There seem to be so many to choose from. But look at the facts, and you’ll find only one perfectly obvious choice: Robert Mugabe, president of Zimbabwe, where the unemployment rate, the CIA says, stands at 95 percent – the highest in the world. That means fewer than 500,000 of the state’s 12 million citizens hold jobs.
That’s just one of many superlatives Mugabe has achieved during his three decades in power. No leader anywhere has so assiduously destroyed a nation, leaving its people with nothing.
In 2000, the United Nations adopted what it called the Millennium Declaration, urging every nation to reduce poverty and improve the lot of its children. Almost every state I’ve examined, even the most impoverished and truculent, has seen at least small improvements – every nation but Zimbabwe.
As an example, for more than 30 years Ali Abdullah Saleh was president of Yemen, another impoverished dictatorship. There, the number of children who died before they reached age 5 stood at 125 per 1,000 in 1990 – but 66 today. That’s typical. Well, in Mugabe-land, the number went up, from 81 in 1990 to 90 today. UNICEF says the rate of infant mortality has increased, too.
But there’s more. So much more.
The seed for much of this was Mugabe’s destructive land-redistribution campaign 12 years ago, when he kicked the nation’s white commercial farmers off their land. Those farms provided the basic structure for the nation’s economy, and the farmers’ departure pushed the country into destitution. Mugabe first tried a massive stimulus/aid program, which threw the country deep into debt. That sent the nation down the path to another superlative. Today Zimbabwe has the highest debt ratio in the world. The national debt stands at 231 percent of the gross domestic product.
These economic woes gave Mugabe another first-in-show honor. For a good while, Zimbabwe had the highest inflation rate in the world, at one point pegged at 231 million percent. Then, three years ago, Zimbabwe abandoned its own worthless currency and began using the U.S. dollar instead. One record fell away.
But as the 2000s proceeded and the number of students leaving school outnumbered the available jobs by nearly 10 to 1 some years, thousands of young people fled, giving Mugabe still another “honor” – the highest emigration rate in the world.
His neighbor, South Africa, has been loudly complaining that Zimbabwe emigres are taking all the jobs. South Africa and Mozambique built border fences, but just recently a South Africa newspaper reported that its fence was “full of holes.” The Harare Daily News reports that, to survive, more than half of Zimbabwe’s urban dwellers rely on remittances from relatives living abroad.
Zimbabwe claims still another record: the world’s highest rate of population growth. High birth rates are usually found in countries that suffer unusually high child mortality, like Zimbabwe. Since nearly 1 of every 10 children dies before reaching age 5, mothers have more and more children, hoping some will survive.
The shame of it is that, properly managed, Zimbabwe should be prosperous. It’s home to magnificent wildlife and Victoria Falls – magnets for tourism. But the U.S. State Department reports that Mugabe has allowed every manner of infrastructure – roads, trains, water systems, telephone and electric service – to fall into near-dysfunctional disrepair. So no one visits.
Among the deteriorating public services is health care. Right now, typhoid is ravaging the country, almost like a plague. The cause, according to the U.N.: fecal matter in the dilapidated water system. Three years ago, a cholera epidemic infected 100,000 people, killing 4,000 of them, further discouraging tourism.
The state also is home to rich diamond mines, but Mugabe nationalized them and seems to be stealing all the money. Photos of his mansion show overwrought, gold-crusted baroque splendor beyond imagining. How did he pay for that? Zimbabwe law requires any foreign-owned firm worth more than $500,000 to forfeit a 51 percent controlling interest to the state – to Mugabe.
So can Zimbabweans hold out any hope? Maybe. On Tuesday, Mugabe will turn 88 years old – this in a country with the world’s eighth-worst average life expectancy: 49.6 years.
More likely than not, the world’s most destructive national leader will soon pass away.
