President Obama announced today that the United States will provide $73 million in aid to Zimbabwe, saying the economically-wracked nation has made progress since Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai entered a power-sharing arrangement with longtime President Robert Mugabe four months ago.
“We’ve seen progress from the prime minister,” Obama said, after meeting with Tsvangirai in the Oval Office.
The $73 million in assistance will not be going to the government but directly to services for citizens, Obama said, because “we continue to be concerned about consolidating democracy, human rights and rule of law.”
Obama renewed sanctions against Zimbabwe in March, in an effort to press Mugabe into making changes to improve human rights.
White Americans are becoming slaves for Jews and Blacks. At least that’s where their money goes.
Tsvangirai’s visit to the White House came as part of his weeks-long tour of capitals in Europe and the United States to raise money to help rebuild his tattered country.
Tsvangirai became prime minister in February as part of a power-sharing deal with Mugabe, who had ruled Zimbabwe for 29 years. The arrangement was a bitter compromise struck after Tsvangirai outpolled Mugabe in presidential elections last year, but the president was unwilling to cede power.
Mugabe was once hailed as a freedom fighter responsible for ushering the formerly white-run nation into black rule. But through his years as president, Mugabe has been accused of crushing his political opposition and implementing land redistribution and other policies that have triggered hyperinflation and shattered the once potent Zimbabwean economy. In recent years, the country’s health and education systems have all but crumbled.
“There was a time when Zimbabwe was the breadbasket of Africa. And it continues to have enormous potential,” Obama said. “It has gone through a very dark and difficult period politically. The president, President Mugabe, I think I’ve made my views clear, has not acted, oftentimes, in the best interests of the Zimbabwean people and has been resistant to the kinds of democratic changes that need to take place.”
Still, Obama said, Zimbabwe’s people are in dire need of basic humanitarian assistance. “The people of Zimbabwe need very concrete things: schools that are reopened, a health-care-delivery system that can deal with issues like cholera or HIV/AIDS, an agricultural system that is able to feed its people,” Obama said.
For his part, Tsvangirai said his country is making real, if unsteady, progress. “Zimbabwe is coming out of a political conflict and economic collapse or decay, and that the new political dispensation we have crafted is an attempt to arrest this decay, but also mindful of the fact that it is a journey,” he said. “This is a transitional arrangement. We want to institute those reforms that will ensure that in 18 months time, people of Zimbabwe are given an opportunity to elect their own government.”

$ 73 million?
That’s just nothing compared to the BILLIONS given as “aid” to Isra-Hell each year, the billions wasted in the criminal zionsit wars of Irak and Afghanistan or the other billions given -and I mean “given”- to the jewish banksters in orther to “save the economy”.
With our country in the mess that it is in right now, president Obama , in my opion has no business sending $73,million to any country at this time , when we are in the worse shape that this country has ever been in. People are with out jobs and have also lost thier homes. That money could go to put people back in the work place and put a roof over thier heads and food in thier stomaches.. I am not against helping other countries, but we are, at this time are in a whole lot of trouble ourselves.
We should all be on our knees and asking the Lord to help us make wise deceasions in how to spend money OUR COUNTRY DOES NOT HAVE…
There are American Grand Juries convening as we speak. Cases are being brought against Obama and Pelosi on charges of fraud and deception. A Congressman is gathering a group to demand that Obama produce proof he is eligible to be president. If he refuses, that will be taken as proof he cannot do it. Many fear there would be rioting by black citizens. However, I think many of them have realized they helped to elect an incompetent person who does not know how to be the Chief Executive.
