Zimbabwe! What's going on? 

You won't believe this. The 2012 data in CIA World Factbook shows Zimbabwe as number 2 (TWO!) in terms of in-migration, or population growth due to immigation: 

(MIGRANT(S)/1,000 POPULATION)DATE OF INFORMATION
1 Qatar
40.62
2012 est.
2 Zimbabwe
23.77
2012 est.

For points of reference, the US is number 26, with an in-migration rate of 3.62; countries ranked 72 through 103 (Azerbaijan to Yemen) post 0.00; Bulgaria, where I am currently, posts in-migration of -2.84 (which is out-migration, obviously) and is ranked 174; the most out-migrating people are in the Northern Mariana Islands, ranked 221 and posting an immigration population change rate of -41.32. 

But Zimbabwe? Zimbabwe! What is happening there that's leading to this influx? Hints?
