zimbabwe and congo in the news
= wow!
will this do anything?
if so, could we send this 'super best friends' team across the globe as disinterested mediators?
after two months of deadlock, i find it remarkable--and a pretty great symbolic act if nothing else--for internationally respected humanitarians to go into such an unstable, impoverished nation. brings pressure and attention.
are they really impartial though? should they be?
are other economic / structural pressures more useful? like South Africa's promise to withhold a $30 million agricultural assistance grant to Zimbabwe until a representative government is in place?
