The head of European Union delegation, Swedish Prime Minister F R told the report on the eve of the visit that the mission was end(aimed) and(at) reengaging in Zimbabwe and organize(in order to) help its economic recovery. Mr. R whose country hold the rotating EU present seat, said the creation of the power sharing government in Zimbabwe was an important step forward, but added the (obstacle) still remained to ending the sanctions. “I think it’s very promising that before (former)opposition (leader) now is Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, and he of course wants us look at the reforms that (are done in) Zimbabwe , but we also see severe use of violence, (directed) against supporters of T, lots of abuse still of human rights seen in Zimbabwe. （本句语法似乎不太通？）” The European Union imposed sanction against Zimbabwe in 2002 followed election marked by violence and accusation of wide speared (fraud). These (were toughened) after the election in last year (amid) similar reports. South African president J Z, who welcomes the EU delegation in Cape Town Thursday, said the south African development community wants the sanction lifted. “We are seeing things as (SADAC), from different point of view, that’s (in fact the lift of sanction) will help to quicken the process of the implementation, of the global political… ” The global political agreement signed one year ago by president RM, and then opposition leader MC lead to the formation of the united government with the C named to the new post of prime minister.

Mr. M has complained that Mr. C has failed to persuade western governments to lift the sanction which (he) blames for Zimbabwe’s economic problems. Mr. R underscored that the sanction are primarily travel restrictions, and freeze of (foreign连读 assets of senior ZANUPF officials). He said they do not target the Zimbabwean people or economy. “We think they are quite clearly (pinpointed) at the (persons) in Zimbabwe that are responsible for abuses when it comes to human rights. So those are very important (restriction) still for the European Union.” South African and the EU delegation Friday (issued a) join(joint) communiqué urging all parties in Zimbabwe to remove all (obstacles) to the full implementation of power-sharing agreement. The statement expressed appreciation for international (humanitarian) (aid to) Zimbabwe, but made no mention of sanctions. At the same time, the Zimbabwe government’ H newspaper called(quoted) the senior government official as same(saying) they would like to normalize the ties with EU, but the starting point would be for the EU to admit that the sanctions are wrong. The delegation, led by EU eld(aid) commissioners K H, is to visit Zimbabwe Saturday and Sunday.

To explain(his friend,) family and (colleagues), Norman Borlaug was a (marvel) continuing to work on agriculture project and academic proceeds(pursuits) as he reached the age of 95. He resigned(resided) in Dallas but taught classes during the 4th (full semester) at Texas (A and M) university in college station, where an institute was established in his name. And his 95th birthday party in Dallas last (March), Borlaug spoke to voa about the need to continue expending food conduction to meet the needs of growing world population. “We’re adding 84 million more people to world population every year. It’s a big job on our hands.” B express concern about the new variety of (wheat stem rust) attacking wheat plants in Africa and advocated greater co-nation(coordination) of researchers around the world to stop its spread. His (advocacy of) intensive high-yielded agriculture came out(under) criticism from environmentalists in recent years, but B and those who followed his lead argued that older(methods) of sustainable farming could not produce enough food to prevent hunger in poor regions of the world. B was born in the Midwestern state of Iowa at 1914 and attended the university of Minnesota agriculture school. In 1944 when many experts warned the mass (starvation) in the developing nations where population were expanding faster than crop production, B began to work at a (R foundation-funded) project in Mexico to increase wheat production by developing higher-yielding (varieties) of the crop. By 1957, the average yield prohector(per hectare) of Mexican wheat had almost doubled. B remained involved with the international maize and wheat improvement center in Mexico, even after the research took him to the other part of the global where he (replicated) the success he had had in Mexico building his reputation as the father of the green revolution in 1960s. In addition to the Nobel Prize, B war honored with highest (civilian) honors in the US, In 1977, the presidential Medal of Freedom, and 2007 the congressional Gold Medal. In the statement Saturday, through Texas (A and M) university, B’s children said it is hope of B’s family that his life will be a example to all. We would like his life to be a marvel(model) for making a difference (连读in the lives) of others and to bring about the efforts to end the human misery for all mankind.
