Zimbabwe: Inflation Hits One Million Percent As Prices Continue to Skyrocket
Quote:
Most basic goods in the country are now out of reach for many suffering Zimbabweans following massive price increases in the past week.
Independent financial assessment on Tuesday reported that annual inflation rose this month to 1,063 572 percent based on the price of a basket of basic foodstuffs.

They ought to make it Rhodesia again, and throw out Mugabe. Good grief -- the place is becoming as bad as Haiti.
