I wonder what the response of ZANU-PF to this is?
The Zimbabwean people deserve to know that the west has not forgotten them, as some might try to imply.&lt;div class="comment-remix-meta"&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('81704','wayne'); return false;"&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('81704','wayne','found the following article from 19 July, 2007\r\nhttp:\/\/www.afrol.com\/articles\/26127\r\nI wonder what the response of ZANU-PF to this is?\r\nThe Zimbabwean people deserve to know that the west has not forgotten them, as some might try to imply.'); return false;"&gt;Quote from this comment&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

		<description>And the wheel goes round and round and round. It seems the "M" regime may bring collapse before they have the chance to rig the upcoming elections. It is a little tough to hold (even farcical) elections in the midst of chaos and anarchy. But then, maybe they think that is the easy way to do it. Wait for collapse and then declare a state of emergency &#38; marshal law. The end game can not be too far off, given that the UN is positioning their food aid now.
I have recently read that the UN is preparing for a human disaster in Zimbabwe. The following quote from the article on the BBC news website  describes the near term scenario"
"It (UN) has appealed for $118 million dollars (£58 million) in aid from international donors.
"WFP plans to feed more than 10 times the current number of beneficiaries over the next eight months to avert the threat of widespread hunger, but to do this we need more donations and we need them immediately,"
Of course, what they will also need is permission to enter the country and undertake this humanitarian mission. Will be interesting to watch and see if they get "invited"&lt;div class="comment-remix-meta"&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('81592','wayne'); return false;"&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('81592','wayne','And the wheel goes round and round and round.
