As a church committed to fighting the
arms trade in Africa and the world, we strenuously oppose the sale
and transport of weapons to Zimbabwe.
On the basis that a heavily-armed
Zimbabwe would threaten peace, security and stability in southern
Africa, we call upon the Security Council of the United Nations to
impose an arms embargo on its government.
The Anglican Church in
Southern Africa has begun a relief
fund for
those in Zimbabwe affected by Operation Murambatsvina and has donated
R250,000 to start it off.
This money will be used for food and other basic necessities and there
is ongoing research and discussion aimed at identifying the most
effective means of distribution of this aid. It is possible that we may
join our efforts to those of other faith communities in Southern
Africa.
While I [Njongonkulu Ndungane] support the UN’s condemnation
of those
responsible for
the operation and the call for them to be brought to book for their
inhumane actions, my major concern now is with the well being of people
so terribly affected by this humanitarian crisis.
