Of course, you aren't interested in the 'why' here, as Zimbabwe was relatively stable until the Second Congo War, which was part of the reason for land expropriation that started in 2000. After the coup in 2017, Zimbabwe's GDP again doubled, leading it to being middle of the pack in Africa (18th in nominal GDP) and around 100 in the world.
Zimbabwe’s 2022 per capita GDP sits at 175th in the world.

And they rank 178th in the world when it comes to life expectancy.

Face it, it’s a third world shithole. It wasn’t always a third world shithole. But it is now. You can try to make excuses as to “why”. But the fact stands that it was a prosperous country that became a third world shithole.

You dumb shite, I said nominal. In your own link, their nominal GDP is 104. God you are retarded.

You dumb frick, the GDP of Rhodesia was like 600 dollars per capita. It's economy was the size of Zambia's, and I'm skeptical you would state that Zambia was some paragon of development. Rhodesia wasn't a stable country, considering it had to deal with an insurgency literally right after declaring independence from the British, as well as sanctions from the British. You are swallowing some big fat propaganda dick because you want to, and you aren't thinking through the larger context, because you likely don't know. Also, in American English, periods go inside the quotations.

He blames it on the 2nd Congo war. I wonder if the country would’ve been affected as badly by the war if it was fought by the Rhodesian light infantry other than the Zimbabwean forces
