Methodist Church: worsening crisis in Zimbabwe

The Methodist Church in Britain is warning that the humanitarian crisis in
Zimbabwe is likely to worsen over the coming months.

Roy Crowder, Partnership Coordinator for World Church Relationships with
special responsibility for Africa, said: ‘The stalemate in negotiations between
MDC and Zanu-PF is making the situation even worse. This is a time when people
should be planting for the following year, but the economy is devastated and
seeds and fertiliser are in short supply. The delay in achieving a viable
political agreement threatens to prolong the economic and humanitarian
crisis.’
