http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201307/201307280553086489453.mp3The reports of polling-place confusion and missing ballots fit with the overall pattern of an election process that so far has been underfunded and plagued by irregularities in voter registration, serious questions about the condition of the voters' roll and deficiencies in other procedures. The United States is deeply concerned that the elections are moving ahead in the absence of security sector, media and other reforms that the Zimbabwean government and the Southern African Development Community, SADC, agreed to in the Global Political Agreement and the SADC Electoral Road Map. We call on the government, SADC and the African Union to accept nothing short of accepted international standards of electoral credibility, fairness and transparency.
This is a critical moment for the people of Zimbabwe. Progress has been made since the GPA was signed in 2008. The nation's economy is recovering from mismanagement and the resulting hyperinflation. A new constitution to bolster democratic rule was peacefully approved in March. Now, the Zimbabwean people deserve to choose their leaders in peaceful elections that reflect their will, are widely judged to be credible, and are free of the intimidation or retribution seen in the disputed 2008 vote.有关投票点混乱和选票丢失的报道与一些问题相一致,即:选举过程的整体至今未收到充足的资金并受非正规的投票人登记所困扰,有关选民名册条件的一些严重问题和其它过程中的不足。美国密切关注选举在安全部门、媒体以及津巴布韦政府和南部非洲发展共同体,SADC在全球政治协议与南共体选举路线图所赞同的其它改组缺席的情况下的进展。我们号召政府,南共体及非洲联盟采用与国际公认选举可信度,公平性和透明度标准完全相同的准则。
对于津巴布韦人们来说,这是一个关键的时刻。自2008年签署全球政治协议之后,津巴布韦取得了很大进步。国家经济正从管理不善和随之发生的通货膨胀中恢复过来。一部支持民主法规的新宪法也在三月得以和平颁布。现在,津巴布韦人们应该有权在和平的选举中选择他们自己的领导人。这些和平选举体现了他们的意愿,并被广泛认定是可信的,同时也没有备受争议的2008年选举中所看到的胁迫与报复。
