In this photo, Kofi Annan and Jimmy Carter speak at the Elders' press conference on Zimbabwe in Johannesburg, 24 November 2008.
"The state is no longer able to offer basic services", said Graça Machel. "It can no longer feed, educate or care for its citizens. It is failing its people."
"The signing of the 15 September agreement raised hopes in Zimbabwe and around the world, but the failure to implement it in good faith and create a workable power sharing government is leading to despair and accelerating the crisis," said Jimmy Carter, at the press conference in Johannesburg.
"What we have learned in the past few days is shocking. It is not just the extent of Zimbabwe's humanitarian crisis, but the speed of deterioration in the past few weeks that is most worrying," said Kofi Annan. "The scale, depth and urgency of the situation are underreported."

"Regardless of the challenges in implementing the agreement, all parties should now make the welfare of the people their first priority and put an end to the unnecessary suffering of millions." Jimmy Carter.
