In Summary

  • Western donors are reluctant to send funds to Zimbabwe until a stable government creates a democracy that can implement political and economic reforms.

"Recent reports that ZANU-PF continues to arrest and harass human rights and civil society activists should act as a warning to the regional leaders that Zimbabwe may slide back into violence and chaos if they do not take decisive action," said Georgette Gagnon, Africa director at Human Rights Watch.
