The Voice of America quoted CGD Senor fellow Todd Moss on the current political crisis in Zimbabwe, while speaking at a Johns Hopkins event last week.
From the article:
Speaking at a recent forum at the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies, Moss said independent Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia, had achieved political stability, despite lingering racial tensions. "Politically, it was sort of a model of racial reconciliation," he added.
"Obviously, there were racial tensions during the colonial period, but for the most part, the previous white Rhodesians - white Zimbabweans - largely withdrew from politics. But politically, it was also somewhat of a success story." All that good fortune began to erode.
