Zim PM urges transparent diamond trade
Zim PM urges transparent diamond trade

Zimbabwe’s PM Morgan Tsvangirai has called for openness in the country’s nascent diamond trade, getting underway after the lifting of a global ban over rights abuses.

A dusty road leads to the village of Wedza, where veterans of Zimbabwe's liberation war eke out a meagre living on their farm cooperative, which after a promising start now brings only despair.

Harare - Zimbabwe's main opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change, announced on Thursday that it will field candidates in the March 31 elections despite deep misgivings over whether they will be free and fair.

"It is with a heavy heart that the national council has resolved that the MDC will participate in the forthcoming elections," said party spokesperson Paul Themba Nyathi.

The MDC reiterated with force its view that conditions were not in place for a democratic vote in Zimbabwe.

"More than ever the electoral field remains uneven and unequal," said Nyathi.

Latest comment in Africa

Francois says... Alan, maybe you are not so smart if you cannot cut and paste of type a person's name correctly even if it is listed above your comment box, but let us not go into that for too long. I did not say he alone must walk to Mugabe, he can actually drive in his new car. I implied that his tactics to present did not work, he refers to Utopia in his speeches and he expects South Africans to the job for him and his supporters whereas in Egypt and Tunisia and Libya, the people did the job themselves, hence he must take all his supporters and start marching. The odd rape here and there and the illegal imprisonment here and there and the famine is overlooked by the West as they will just drop a few food parcels there. If Zim wants to change course, it is up for the people of Zim to take their future into their hands and not make condoning statements about blood diamonds. Tsvangirai, may have been beaten, but now he is playing the role of Mugabe's bunny. Read the article...
