There is a country where rival groups fight nightly for control of the streets.
Where increasingly repressive and anti-democratic legislation is passed by Parliament.
Where a single-party state has effectively been enshrined by a ruler whose contact with reality seems increasingly tenuous.
A country where no respect is paid by authority to the legitimate and genuine concerns of the European Union regarding repatriation of would-be immigrants.
And still Zimbabweans try to come here.
