Morgan Tsvangirai has finished a three week tour to rally support to the reform programme he is trying to drive through. I spent part of last week with him. The government supports his efforts. He has viciously difficult structural problems - and a transitional government with Robert Mugabe. One would be tough enough on its own; the two together make his one of the toughest jobs in government.
The UK is determined to offer practical and public support to the implementation of the transitional government's programme leading to fresh elections in about eighteen months. Step by step we will support the reform. Mark Malloch Brown's article in the Times shows the way forward and explains why easing sanctions on members of the Mugabe elite is not the place to start.
It's easy to say Tsvangirai has a battle on his hands. We have to help him.
