First rule of being a tin-pot dictator:

Always pay your soldiers!

Zimbabwean soldiers have been rioting after not being paid for days. This on top of 500+ cholera deaths, thousands more sick from cholera and anthrax, starvation, lack of water, and government uncertainty.

Listen to the bells, Mugabe--they toll for thee! And about damned time, too. He should have gone to the old rebel's home a decade and a half ago and retired with a shred of dignity.
