With the beleaguered African state now in the grip of a cholera epidemic, the Prime Minister said the situation remands an international response.
"This is now an international rather than a national emergency. International because disease crosses borders. International because the systems of government in Zimbabwe are now broken. There is no state capable or willing of protecting its people.
He called for the establishment of a "command and control structure" in the capital, Harare, to co-ordinate the work of donors and NGOs to ensure that international aid reached the people who needed it most.
..."to give the Zimbabwean people the government they deserve".
He said that he now hoped that the United Nations Security Council would meet urgently to consider the situation in Zimbabwe.

Brown is spineless and has less virility than a neutered dog. Where was he the past 28 years with his “tough talk”?
“Where was he the past 28 years with his “tough talk”?”
Condemning Ian Smith, that’s what he was doing.
Look - all the UN has to do is write a sharply worded letter demanding that the Zimbabwe government do something ...
Just how many strongly worded letters has Mugebe already gotten from the UN after a meeting ?
I'm sure the next one will really mean it, probably it will be in cap letters < / sarcasm >
Not to worry.
Obama hussien will save his brothers in Zimbabwe
See?
words, words, words, words.......
It’s absolutely hideous what’s been happening in Z. for years, but who can or will do anything about it?
African nations are in charge (ha ha) -— no evillllll imperialists can or should get involved. If the African govts. cannot find any way to control their beloved commie freak Mugabe then there is certainly nothing the rest of the world can do about it.
RE: Mugabe
Why doesn’t somebody just shoot the bastard?
Thanks george76. If Brown lasts long enough, he’ll eventually have the same admonishment for Obama.
Uh, Mr. Brown...that's what they have. As per usual, there are many commands but nothing left to control.
Ping.

This is urgent. A security council resolution must be passed right away. That’ll solve it. /s

Naive!!!! Only a strongly worded resolution is going to solve this issue. This calls for a full fledged resolution.
Well I think that’s OK provided that the Zimbabwe ambassador has the UN shake a finger at him warning that more strongly worded resolutions will follow ....
I’ve been asking that for years. If there’s anyone that needs killin’, he’s it.
I suspect The One will commit US troops to some sort of action in Zimbabwe, but I am willing to bet if he does, the end result will be a new government installed that is jsut as bad as the current one.
“Why doesn’t somebody just shoot the bastard?”
I think some of his guards tried, but they were so incompetent that they didn’t realize he wasn’t in residence when they shot up his presidential home.
Gordon Brown has no right to talk. It was the British government (along with plenty of help from Jimmy Carter and the world's self absorbed and outraged Liberals) which engineered the swap from civilization and the rule of law to the unspeakable misery and evil which plagues that wretched land.
