The Government of Zimbabwe asks for economic assistance from Western countries, reports Reuters. Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai on Saturday, June 6, began to tour Europe and the United States. Western sponsors include distrust in the authorities of Zimbabwe and call for the democratization of the country, which is in deep economic crisis.
Tsvangirai tour will include stops in the Netherlands, Britain, France, Sweden and the headquarters of the European Union in Brussels. In addition, Prime Zimbabwe will hold four days in Washington, where he will meet with U.S. President Barack Obama. "I meet with all heads of governments of countries where visited. I hope we can achieve understanding and world community a chance to give our coalition government," - said Tsvangirai.
Tsvangirai became head of the Government in February, concluding a political deal with Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe. Mugabe, the longtime leader of the country, competed with Tsvangirai, leader of the opposition, the most recent presidential elections. Opposition and foreign human rights activists have accused Mugabe of political repression. The political crisis has exacerbated the economic problems of Zimbabwe, and now the country hopes to receive $ 10 billion in near-plan economic reconstruction.
