Until now, the government has only said it may allow aid workers to distribute ground maize, which allays fears that GM grain may be planted locally.

So now Mugabe will allow us to feed some of the opposition, so he is not pushed out of power by "evil foreigners." How considerate of him.

Opposition? Oh no, that's not how it works. Members of the opposition aren't allowed anywhere near aid workers. Generally aid is just handed over to the government for redistribution, but when it's not, the soldiers "maintaining order" see to it that only the right people reach the head of the line. That's the whole point of Mugabe's plan to eliminate agriculture: If you want to eat in Zimbabwe, you have to vote for Mugabe. It's the exact same political strategy the Democrats use, just taken to its logical conclusion.
