The hallmarks of the Mugabe administration are its endemic corruption, suppression of political opposition, mishandling of land reform, economic mismanagement, and deteriorating human rights in Zimbabwe. According to critics, his administration's policies have led to economic collapse and massive starvation over the course of the last ten years. Zimbabwe has the highest inflation rate in the world[5] estimated by the International Monetary Fund in January 2008 at 150 000 percent,[6] and is, according to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, Africa's worst economic performer.[7] With a record 80% unemployment and soaring inflation rates,[8] Zimbabwe is in its worst economic crisis since Mugabe took power.[9]
