Germany said Friday it has asked a Munich-based company to stop supplying Zimbabwe with paper used for banknotes, saying it was helping prop up Mugabe's regime.

They said there is "serious concern" that the supplies are "providing additional support to the system in Zimbabwe, and this was not acceptable."

Germany’s Development Minister has written to the firm asking it to immediately stop the shipments."
Officials from the firm, Giesecke and Devrient, were unavailable for comment.

Most observers believe that Mugabe’s rule is definitely in the end game, that there is increasing instability in Zanu PF itself and that ultimately, the economic collapse will be the final straw the brings to an end this sad chapter in Zimbabwe’s history. This call by Germany could help bring this about sooner, rather than later.
