The latest official figures (July 2008) have shown that the inflation rate in Zimbabwe has reached proportions which are outrageous, even considering the yet astonishing 11,200,000% reached last month. As one would suspect, the current political issues the Middle-African country is facing these days, aren’t really helping to ease the rocketing prices. Especially bread and cereals are getting very hard to obtain for the average Zimbabwean citizen, which will lead to a serious food crisis unless the economic policy changes really fast, according to the WFP. Mr. Mugabe however, the current Zimbabwean president (although his victory after the last elections was very ambiguous, to say the least) believes Western sanctions are the main cause of this economic crisis.

Excellent topic, great text - and no copy-pasting from the source as far as I can see. Elegantly written. Well-done!
Don't make your sentences too long, though!
