"The law comes into effect as the European Union ( news - web sites) on Monday allocated $5.9 million to provide aid to hungry Zimbabweans, and again condemned the policies of President Robert Mugabe for aggravating his country's food crisis."
"The World Food Program estimated nearly half the country's 12.5 million people would need food assistance this year. The crisis was caused by dry weather and the often violent seizure of land by Mugabe loyalists on the commercial farms, which are about five times more productive than small-scale farms, the WFP said."
"The private sector has a leading role to play in bringing in food on the market," said Poul Nielson, EU aid commissioner. "The government must remove the constraints which are preventing this from happening."
So, the already over-burdened US taxpayer, via the agency of the commie UN, will now have to fork over yet more untold millions of $ to feed a nation that is in the process of self-destruction through more Marxist-inspired madness. Yup, makes a lot of sense to me!
Sow salt and *get out.*
