Zimbabwe Update -- Mad Bobby Mugabe Sinks to a New Low

Just when you think things can't get any worse, Mad Bobby Mugabe comes up with another unspeakable atrocity.

AP reports:

HARARE, Zimbabwe - Police have begun destroying vegetable gardens planted by Zimbabwe's urban poor, extending a demolition campaign that initially targeted shacks and street vendor kiosks.

Senior assistant police commissioner Edmore Veterai said urban farming on vacant plots of land was causing "massive environmental damage," state radio reported Tuesday.

The crackdown — at a time of food shortages in Zimbabwe — is the latest escalation in the government's monthlong Operation Murambatsvina, or Drive Out Trash, which has seen police torch the shacks of poor city dwellers, arrest street vendors and demolish their kiosks.

Amazing -- first he destroys their homes and sources of income, now he wipes out what remains of their food supply -- all in the name of preserving the environment, of course.

Religious authorities are branding the policies "insane and evil". They're absolutely right.

Madness! Madness!
