Zimbabwe impasse
As
Zimbabwe’s post-election crisis enters its second month,
reports of violence and intimidation are mounting.
And
with calls for an end to the impasse growing around the globe,
church leaders in Zimbabwe have spoken out, warning of
impending genocide should the situation deteriorate any
further.
Read the statement from our partner, the
Zimbabwean Council of Churches, as well as firsthand accounts
from a country in a state of paralysis.

World food crisis
In
recent weeks we’ve seen food riots in Haiti and Egypt, while
forecasters predict a steep increase in global food prices
over the coming months.
For the world’s poor, who would
be first to feel the impact of soaring prices, it’s a perilous
situation – and one the West has helped nurture, as Christian
Aid policy manager Alex Cobham explains.
What’s behind the
crisis?

Keep on running
Feeling
fit? Why not build up a sweat for Christian Aid? Thirty
runners raised a tidy £50k for Christian Aid at this year’s
London Marathon. We were worn out just watching
them.
Now we’re bracing ourselves for more vicarious
exhaustion this autumn. We’ve more than 100 places on the BUPA
Great North Run in Tyneside. One of them’s got your name on
it. Don’t be scared – this one’s ‘only’ 13 miles…

Stop E.ON’s power plan
Power giant E.ON says it takes climate change seriously.
Yet it’s also planning to build a coal-fired power station in
Kingsnorth, Kent, which will emit more carbon dioxide than 30
developing countries combined every year.
For us the
two things don’t match up. That’s why we’re pressing E.ON to
scrap its Kingsnorth plans.

Paul Golby, now
