"Group's Zimbabwe mission still on" by Donna Bryson, Associated Press | November 21, 2008
JOHANNESBURG - Former US president Jimmy Carter and others are pressing ahead with a humanitarian mission to Zimbabwe, though the state newspaper in the troubled southern African country signaled yesterday they are unwelcome.
The Elders, a group formed by former South African president Nelson Mandela, last week had announced plans to visit Zimbabwe. After a story in Zimbabwe's state-run Herald yesterday about the visit headlined "come at a later date," the group reiterated its plans, without directly addressing the newspaper story.
Also taking part in the two-day visit starting tomorrow are former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Graca Machel, an international advocate for women's and children's rights who is married to Mandela....
*************
Hunger and frustration, along with the continued dismantling of services such as schools and hospitals, could fuel unrest or violence if a legitimate government does not step in....
The US ambassador to Zimbabwe, meanwhile, said yesterday that Mugabe's grip on power "may actually be stronger than it was this time last year."
Another FAILED U.S. POLICY!!! No wonder Carter has to go there!!!!
US Ambassador James McGee, speaking to reporters in Washington by videoconference from Harare, said that Mugabe has bolstered his power through a political patronage system that he has maintained despite dire financial and health conditions. --more--"
And what of the poor Zimbabweans!!!
