Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter today said Zimbabwe's humanitarian crisis was far worse than he could have imagined and expressed dismay that Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and his government refused to acknowledge the problem even existed.
"The entire basic structure in education, healthcare, feeding people, social services and sanitation has broken down," Carter told a news conference in Johannesburg, South Africa. "These are all indications that the crisis in Zimbabwe is much greater, much worse than we had ever imagined."
Carter was part of a delegation that was denied entry into Zimbabwe last week to assess the crisis. The delegation members also included U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Grace Machel, the wife of former South African President Nelson Mandela.

“Because they wouldn’t let me in. Now, if Mugabe had wined and dined me, I’d have given him a clean bill.”
Earth to Jimmy! Come in Jimmy!
YAH, think Jimmy.What a mornon this idiot is..
Sounds like a preview of where Jimmah had us heading and now Obama, Nancy, and Harry can finish the job.
Yeah Jimmy it is called Afro Marxism. You “verified” the election for another dictator named Chavez. You said it was a fair election which was nonsense.
Where is Mandela? He has yet to denounc Mugabe.
YAH, think Jimmy.What a mornon this idiot is..
Well Qu’elle Soo-preese Jimmy ....
so sorry!
who did that to them?
Ain’t Jimmy brilliant and now we have “elected” another African to lead the US. If it is good enough for so many african nations it must be good enough for the US, right?
Jimmy proves yet again that he is an ignorant moron.
It’s about exactly as bad as I had “imagined” so I guess I’m so much wiser than that group of “elders” that Jimmy assembled to be wise men to the world.
Jimmy Carter - the Devil’s helper.
Clown. A frickin clown who pretends to matter. When’s he going to grow up?
Duh! But I bet Jimmy the Dope doesn’t realize that the only solution is a bullet to the back of the dictator Mugabe’s head.
They call themselves “The Elders”??? lol
And they got Annan in there? Oh lawdy that must be a fun group.
Sort of like Detroit.
Sorry, but as soon as I see Jimmy Carter, I just can’t read anymore. I’m sure without even glancing over the aticle, my blood pressure would go off the charts. Please, please Jimmy, just go AWAY! Forever! ugggghhhhhh!
carter truely the last person on earth to know the obvious.
and still doesnt get it.
Carter could have come onto FR and saved himself some time by reading Cathy Buckle’s long-running series on Zimbabwe
Who wants to bet that American taxpayers will soon be bailing them out (more than we already do)?
And who’s going to pay for all these bailouts when the American taxpayer’s back is broken?
