The
people of Zimbabwe
have been betrayed, by the government that claims to represent them and by
Western governments that claim to support their desires for economic
development and democracy. Post-independence promises made by the international
community were not kept; the imposition of economic structural adjustment
policies further entrenched inequality and reversed the initial gains made by
the country. Internally, corruption, government mis-management, military
excesses, and poor economic decisions have furthered the country's multiple
social and economic crises. Today, after
an illegitimate presidential runoff the country stands in economic ruin, wide
spread political violence continues, and the only way forward is through a
national dialogue and a political negotiation. Please join us in our standing with the people of Zimbabwe in
their call for change!
