Zimbabwe’s Tsvangirai Shifts Focus From Talks To Humanitarian Crisis
This is one rare occasion that one can make sense in happenings in Zimbabwe:
Zimbabwe’s prime minister-designate, Morgan Tsvangirai, said Wednesday that the latest round of talks on power-sharing by his Movement for Democratic Change and the ZANU-PF party of President Robert Mugabe were not making headway, and that his party would be shifting its main focus to the country’s burgeoning humanitarian crisis.
In a major policy statement issued Wednesday, Tsvangirai said his MDC formation “is now committing itself to addressing the humanitarian crisis” in the country, saying that the Zimbabwean people had “mandated us to end their suffering.”
Millions of Zimbabweans depend on food aid to stave off starvation, and the number in that situation is expected to top 5 million by the beginning of next year. Meanwhile, a cholera epidemic has spread across the country, claiming hundreds of lives.

But, Caretaker, we all know that Mugabe is simply going to block any aid brought in by Tsvangirai now that the talks are dead (see my post on this today). He has done it before. He likes for the Great Unwashed to think that he and only he brings them relief from suffering. Tsvangirai amd his party tried to import maize once and the things rotted at the border with Mugabe saying (and this is rich, coming from him)”the MDC want to use that maize to buy votes!
Takes one to know one, hey! Good luck with the humanitarian thing, is all I can say to Tsvangirai
