lpv:translated text	"Mr President, since our last debate on Zimbabwe in October last year, the situation in this country in southern Africa has not changed. Unemployment has reached 90%, average life expectancy is 44 years, and the citizens of this country have no access to basic healthcare services. It is obvious that the political agreement reached two years ago by President Mugabe and Prime Minister Tsvangirai has failed to meet the hopes placed in it and that a new, fully democratic solution is needed. The internal situation in Zimbabwe has not changed in the last six months, but the external situation has. Today, we are debating a country in the context of the ‘Spring of Nations’ in Africa, and although Harare is 6 000 kilometres away from Tunis, the most recent case of Côte d’Ivoire shows that sometimes, democracy knows no barriers at all. The European Parliament therefore urges the government of Zimbabwe to take into account the current international situation and the strong reorientation in domestic politics and, above all, to cease repression of the political opposition, to release its representatives from the prisons and allow them to participate in the elections. Six months ago, I said that a poor country like Zimbabwe cannot afford to look for alternative problems. Today, I think that the African ‘Spring of Nations’ puts an additional strain on the political debt of President Mugabe."@en1
