‘Dire’ economy shaking Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe’s new prime minister on Sunday called the country’s economic situation "dire and serious" and asked the international community for help. Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said Zimbabwe will have to “borrow and beg” because it needs urgent attention. “Please, be in solidarity with the people of Zimbabwe,” he said during a gathering marking the 10th anniversary of his Movement for Democratic Change party, held in Gweru, about 190 miles (300 kilometers) from Harare, the capital.
