I betragtning af den ulykkelige politiske og socialøkonomiske situation, som Mugabes magtbegær har bragt Zimbabwe i, skal Rådet og Kommissionen støtte oppositionen i Zimbabwe, for eskalationen imod en borgerkrig trækker landet endnu dybere ned i sumpen.
Given the desolate political and socio-economic situation to which Mugabe's thirst for power has led Zimbabwe, this attitude on the part of the Zimbabwean opposition deserves the support of the Council and the Commission. For an escalation into civil war will suck the country deeper into the quagmire.
