In addition, the bishops of Amecea ask for "humanitarian aids" for the suffering population and to "put an end to the discriminatory and political use of aids". That is, they ask "that the humanitarian organisations and non-governmental agencies may be allowed to keep helping those in need in an impartial way". As to the challenged election in which Robert Mugabe has been re-elected, the bishops join those who "question the legitimacy of the recent electoral round" and "encourage and support the initiatives that can quickly lead to political stability by the regional organisations, such as the Southern Africa Development Community (Sadc, the community that brings together the states of Southern Africa, editor’s note) and the African Union. "We think the two parties must urgently start negotiating they state to find a way out, partly with the help of some respected and authorised international organisations". Just today, the party of president Mugabe and the opposition party have started talks in South Africa to find a solution. The bishops conclude by expressing "deep concern", because, "if the crisis is not settled, it can cause even more deaths and suffering in the whole region".
