Since 1998 Mugabe's policies have increasingly elicited domestic and international denunciation. Mugabe's government pursued a costly intervention in the Second Congo War, expropriated thousands of white-owned farms, printed hundreds of trillions of Zimbabwean dollars triggering hyperinflation, and harassed and intimidated political opponents like members of the Movement for Democratic Change. Zimbabwe's economy spiraled downward, with food and oil shortages and massive internal displacement and emigration.
