Carter: Cholera-, inflation-ridden Zimbabwe ‘a basket case’

(CNN) — Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai said Wednesday that Zimbabwe is in shambles and warned that deaths from starvation and a cholera outbreak threaten to surge with the rainy season approaching.

Bemoaning Zimbabwe’s decline is a familiar refrain for the embattled head of the Movement for Democratic Change. His most recent remarks, however, were backed by former President Jimmy Carter, who returned from a five-day trip to neighboring South Africa this week and declared Zimbabwe “a basket case.”

The Zimbabwean government quickly countered Tsvangirai’s allegations that President Robert Mugabe and Zanu-PF were responsible for the problems gripping the country. “The government is very committed to ensure that the humanitarian crisis is addressed. It would be wrong for the MDC to blame it on the government,” Foreign Affairs Minister Simbarashe Mumbengegwi said.
