Mugabe desperate for Western aid
Baltimore News.Net
Saturday 11th July, 2009
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has criticised the West for imposing conditions on aid to his troubled nation.
Mr. Mugabe has called on members of the unity government to speak up on the aid issue and show their commitment to the country.
The unity government was formed earlier this year, with Robert Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangarai taking the positions of president and prime minister.
Mr. Mugabe lashed out at Western nations on Saturday, saying Zimbabwe would not humiliate itself any further by agreeing to Western demands for further political reforms in return for aid.
The government has only had limited success in lifting Zimbabwe out of its deep economic crisis marked by years of food shortages and hyperinflation.
The progress has been hindered by internal disputes and lack of support from Western nations, who have pledged support but said they wanted to see more progress.  Email this story to a friend

Mugabe desperate for Western aid
Can beggars really decide and put on conditions? I would be utterly ashamed for begging much less stipulate conditions for donors. Would you?
