Zimbabwe to Process Newly Found Uranium

Mugabe, who has close ties with two countries with controversial nuclear programs — Iran and North Korea, spoke of his intention Saturday, the radio station reported.

It was not clear how Mugabe intended to use any uranium deposits since the country does not have a nuclear power plant. The president announced plans in the 1990s to acquire a reactor from Argentina, but nothing else was ever heard about the proposal.

thinks the best way to reduce poverty in the cities is to raze slums and throw the people out.....then give the land to soccer stars. Sounds sort of like a republican, doesn't he.
