Mugabe runs out of paper

Two weeks ago, I noted that Mugabe had been cut off by the German firm that supplied him the paper on which to print his hyper-inflating currency.  At the time, the Zimbabwean Minister of Worthless Currency (or whatever they call it) bravely predicted that it would not be a problem.

Now Mugabe’s printing operation is being cut by two-thirds, and it will be entirely out-of-paper in another two weeks.  Since the money is used to pay Mugabe’s police, army, and thugs, this could be a major problem for his regime.
