Zimbabwe's Cry for Justice: Looming Food Shortages

	A voice cries: "In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD." (Isaiah 40:3)
	Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. . . . For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much. (Alan Paton, Cry the Beloved Country)

Looming Food Shortages

The Financial Times runs a short piece today on looming food shortages in Zimbabwe:

A senior UN official voiced concern yesterday about the prospect of food shortages in Zimbabwe as a result of the decision by President Robert Mugabe's regime to refuse further food aid. James Morris, executive director of the World Food Programme, challenged the Zimbabwe government's claims of a bumper 2004 crop of maize, the staple food.
