With the people of Zimbabwe suffering, the world empathizes with them and the hardship they face. While it's leaders and ex leaders continue to deny the hardship, the people are suffering from chronic food shortage, shortage of fuel and lack of proper medical care. The countries" inflation rate has sky rocketed to an unbelievable inflation rate of 2.2 million percent. Now, that's a country in crisis.
The Reserve bank of Zimbabwe has gone on to release a few bank notes including a $50 billion and a $100 billion bank notes. $1oo billion is equivalent to $2 USD, with many people earning $100 billion monthly which can barely support a family. The suffering of Zimbabwe has left it's people in desperate situations, with money running short at the local western union type facility.
With all this suffering in Zimbabwe, it's former president Robert Mugabe is living in unbelievable opulence while his country is in a political crisis. The extravagant luxury surpasses that of Queen Elizabeth's castle.
See the pictures above to confirm where the countries money went over a period of time.
