Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in the southern tip of the massive continent of Africa. Zimbabwe has become a country of unprecedented economic and political attention in recent world history.

The troubles in Zimbabwe cannot be separated from Zimbabwe's history dating back to the arrival of European settlers in the vast virgin land. However, the collapse of the Zimbabwe economy can be traced back to recent years as recent as the year 2000. Even by this turn of the millennium Zimbabwe's economy had already started showing signs of failing. This was clear in 1998 on the day that became known as the black Friday when the Zimbabwe dollar collapsed by up to half its value against major currencies such as the USD and Pound Sterling.
