“Bishow Parajuli, UN resident coordinator and resident
representative for the UN Development Programme, said now was the time to
support the southern African nation,” reported Africa News Agency.
"I think the international community should be very open, the UN should be very open, to engage and partner with - and support Zimbabwe - to come out of some of the major crises they have had in the last several years so they can stand on their own," he told UN News during a recent visit to New York.

The best help the UN can give Zimbabwe to help the country come
out of these major economic, social and political crises is to make sure the
country holds free, fair and credible elections and finally lay the solid foundation
for building a competent, accountable and democratic government. The worst this
the UN can do here is help the junta get away with yet another rigged election
by turning a blind eye to what this regime is doing under the pretext “engaging
and partnering” the regime!
The people of Zimbabwe have suffered greatly these last 38 years
because we were stuck with a corrupt and tyrannical regime that rigged the vote
and used violence to stay in power. We KNOW what we want; free, fair and
credible elections.
If the UN wants to help the people of Zimbabwe then it must
support them in demanding that the elections must be free, fair and credible! No
if! No but!
We also know what we DO NOT want; to be patronised by people who
care more about their cushy and well-paid jobs and hobnobbing with the rich and
powerful ruling elite and do not give a damn about the downtrodden.
