Zimbabwe: Stop me if you've heard this before

Zimbabwe's population, facing quadruple-digit inflation, food and fuel shortages, and President Robert Mugabe's increasingly distant relationship with reality, are heading over the border into neighboring South Africa in droves.

The South Africans are, for whatever reason, not patrolling the border too enthusiastically.

The astute reader will immediately equate this to a situation a little closer to home.

BTW, the UN is asking relief agencies to start stocking supplies for the inevitable famine about to hit Zimbabwe. God Himself has, apparently, become involved in the situation, as the Zimbabwe harvest is predicted to fail badly this year.
