Domestic and International Compromise
| |
| Summary |
Zimbabwe has gone through a series of problems in the recent years. The political and economic scenes have been in some of the worst conditions ever. This week the government made an epic leap into its prominent future by uniting with its opposing political party. President Robert Mugabe and opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai signed a resolution to work together on future, basic reforms.
The country is in need of dire reforms in the scopes of food, water, education, government, and medicine. The resolution signed this week states the two opposing political groups will share power by dividing government jobs. Zimbabwe’s officials hope to attract international attention and aid with their new policies of compromise and diplomacy. Foreign cooperation is greatly needed to fund reforms. | |
| Analysis |
Zimbabwe’s political spectrum has been in a state of chaos in recent years. Yet, the government is making strides to reform with new policies of compromise between opposing parties. In order to provide a better state for the people, two main opposing parties in Zimbabwe have signed a power-sharing deal. The resolution implements a long awaited compromise of dividing the seats in power. The two parties are brought together in order to coalesce on basic issues in the country that are in need of great reform.
Zimbabwe’s diplomacy is a reflection of its interdependence of foreign nations. Zimbabwe recognizes it can not move into a promising future by itself. The European Union and many Western countries have stated their intentions to support Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe will only receive aid, financially and politically, if there is true power sharing.
The new Zimbabwe will be put on a pedestal to see if it has the capability to implement its new government’s policies and necessary reforms. Yet with international aid, the country can begin to start a promising future. | |
