THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The government of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has ordered more than $240 million worth of jet fighters and other military equipment from China, renewing concerns of a sub-Saharan arms race in a region with no external threats.
...
The order was for 12 fighter jets and 100 military vehicles, according to the British Broadcasting Corp.

Zimbabwe is experiencing a food crisis, and the World Food Program is feeding more than 600,000 Zimbabweans. Zimbabwe's government says the country is experiencing a "bumper crop."
