Zimbabwe emergency

[Sara Davies]

Hi, I hope I'm not filling your inbox with messages you've already received - if so, apologies. And I know I've probably not been in touch with you for a while but I think this action (see below) is really important, so please take just a few minutes to follow the link...really doesn't take long! Need to get people in countries everywhere doing this, so the impact is really great! It's not a petition, if you follow the link you'll be able to send a message to your country's leader...

I just sent a message to Gordon Brown asking for a statement of non recognition of Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe. If Mugabe is isolated, conditions can be created for a legitimate negotiated settlement and an end to the political crisis. Click here to send your own message using the special Avaaz tool:

The people of Zimbabwe are desperate for change. A country of great bounty and pride has been decimated by Mugabe. People are in fear for their lives. They are starving and millions of them are pouring across neighboring borders seeking refuge. There is no doubt that a continued crisis in Zimbabwe will create instability in the region.

But talks between Mugabe and opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai are necessary to resolve the crisis. And a legitimate process will only happen if Mugabe is isolated and pressured to negotiate on the basis of the results of the March elections. We need to send our leaders an overwhelming flood of messages to get them to speak out.

Thanks!
