Zimbabwe President's $2.5 mn b'day bash sparks protest
Opposition leaders in Zimbabwe are protesting against the ruling party's plans to spend around $2.5 million (₹16.8 crore) on the 93rd birthday celebration of President Robert Mugabe on February 21, as people all across the country continue to starve. Mugabe, who is repeatedly criticised for wasting money, recently spent over $6 million (over ₹40 crore) on a month-long vacation.
