Zimbabwe Political Agreement in Full
The Zimbabwe MDC (Movement for Democratic Change) Party pressroom has released the full text of the power sharing agreement reached between Robert Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai. The agreement was facilitated by South African leader Thabo Mbeki. This is something that will be watched closely by the international community.
Thankfully it includes provision and a way forward around food and humanitarian assistance and it is good to finally see the MDC given a significant place in the governance of Zimbabwe. May this agreement serve the nation well and may all those in positions of government find the means to work together for the good of their people
The text follows:

The ICC Seeks the Arrest of the Sudanese President
Three years ago, the UN Security Council requested that International Criminal Court Prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, investigate the situation in Darfur. He has undertaken that request thoroughly and based on his research he has just brought the evidence for genocide and crimes against humanity to the judges of Pre-Trial Chamber 1.
The case clearly points to Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir being the mastermind behind the genocide. The statements are strong:

The CHE Programme - Tina Hernandez
The Community Health Evangelism programme is a joint effort between YWAM and Medical Ambassadors – designed to bring unity between our ministry to the physical and spiritual needs of the community. It is a community-based program where members of the community are equipped to evangelize, disciple, and share basic health care principles with their neighbors, friends, and families.
Los Encuentros, Guatemala – the first established programme location.
Three years ago, when I (Tina) was a student in the healthcare school, we ran a medical clinic in a village close to Los Encuentros in Gautemala. Dr Jacobo, previously of Medical Ambassadors, had already made connections starting the CHE programme. I remember hearing that this village wanted to build a school and have a clean water source. Three years later and with some help from Dr Jacobo and his contacts, but also with a huge amount of the communities own effort they now have achieved both those goals.
