| IA Forum asked 6 commentators:
Inflation in Zimbabwe stands at 2,200 per cent, three quarters of the population are unemployed, and three million people have fled the country, yet President Robert Mugabe remains in power. Is it time that the international community removed the Mugabe regime, and if so, how should it be done? |

How could this affect relations between the EU and Latin America? Additionally, how might Latin America and the European Union's economies be impacted by the recent EU immigration laws?" |
