Zimbabwe declared a state of emergency in its capital city, Harare amid a deadly outbreak of the medieval disease, cholera.

What you are seeing below is raw sewage flowing in the streets of Harare due to an unserviced old sewage system left by the colonial government.

This is what happens when political leadership fails a country and focuses its energises on looting public funds and plundering the country’s natural resources.

This level of total collapse is not only tragic, but it is now bringing diseases for Zimbabweans, yet their public health system is totally collapsed!

What a disaster. This is going to cost AT LEAST 100 billion Zimbawean dollars ($3.50 US) to fix.

Decolonization is all fun & games until you have raw sewage flowing in the streets of your cities

Step one: fix the pipes.

Step two: use bleach and/or chlorine as appropriate.

Cholera is not a 'medieval disease.'

Well it's not a medieval disease, but I get your point. Watch, it will happen in Jackson, MS some day.

John Snow's investigation of Cholera distribution associated with different water supplies (19th century England) is one of the earlier modern applications of epidemiology to identify and prevent disease outbreaks in a population.

Which isn't the medieval era. Again, cholera isn't a medieval illness.

That body of water looks like most of the ones throughout sub sahara africa.

It would be interesting to know how many of the people commenting in this thread have ever stepped foot on the continent.
