Life Under Robert Mugabe

Life under Robert Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe was marked by political repression, economic decline, and widespread poverty. Mugabe's rule was characterized by human rights abuses, including arbitrary arrests and detentions, torture, and forced disappearances. The economy suffered from hyperinflation, unemployment, and shortages of basic goods. The land redistribution program, which aimed to transfer land from white farmers to black Zimbabweans, was poorly implemented and resulted in a decline in agricultural production and food insecurity. Mugabe's government also pursued a policy of isolationism, leading to strained relations with neighboring countries and the international community.
