Zimbabwe elections marred by irregularities
Uregelmessigheter preget valget i Zimbabwe
Presidential and parliamentary elections were held in Zimbabwe on 31 July.
Valg av president og nasjonalforsamling i Zimbabwe ble gjennomført 31. juli.
The results were announced yesterday.
I går kom resultatet.
Election observers from the African Union (AU) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) have identified a number of serious flaws.
Valgobservatørene fra Den afrikanske union (AU) og Southern African Development Community (SADC) har påpekt en rekke alvorlige svakheter.
Some 35 % more ballot papers were printed than there were voters.
Det ble trykket 35 % flere stemmesedler enn det var velgere.
Contrary to the law, there was a persistent pro- ZANU-PF bias in the state media.
I strid med loven var statlig media ensidig i favør av ZANU-PF.
“After many years of insecurity and poverty, the people of Zimbabwe deserve a better life.
- Det hardt prøvde folket i Zimbabwe fortjener et bedre liv etter mange år preget av usikkerhet og fattigdom.
Unfortunately, these election flaws make it difficult to view the election results as an expression of the will of the people,” said Minister of International Development Heikki Eidsvoll Holmås.
Med alle disse svakhetene er det dessverre vanskelig å se at valget gir uttrykk for folkets frie vilje, sier utviklingsminister Heikki Eidsvoll Holmås.
The African election observers have not yet published their final report.
De afrikanske observatørene har foreløpig ikke avgitt sin endelige rapport.
The opposition MDC-T will consider whether to take legal action and demand new elections.
MDC-T vil vurdere å gå rettens vei for å kreve omvalg.

To repeat the point that was made in the panel discussion by several of the speakers, the fact that we now have a thriving discussion about democracy and the MDGs is not only a good thing in itself, but it is also a sign that we are living in a changed world.

Democracy contributes to governments making the right decisions and it creates a strong civil society that is a resource for governments but also provides a system of checks and balances.

This is not a bad idea in my view, because there is, out there, the argument that there is an alternative route, a kind of state capitalist alternative route, that you don’t have to “do democracy” because you can deliver services by having a good government that is undemocratic.

The infection rate is now greatly reduced.
Antall nye smittede har nå gått veldig ned.
Norway is therefore scaling down its efforts in cooperation with the authorities in the countries concerned and the UN.
Norge legger derfor om responsen i samarbeid med landenes myndigheter og FN.
This means that Norwegian health workers will return to Norway at the end of March.
Det betyr også at norsk helsepersonell returnerer til Norge i slutten av mars.
The Ebola virus has claimed more than 10 000 lives in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone over the last year.
Ebola-viruset har kostet over 10 000 liv i Guinea, Liberia og Sierra Leone det siste året.
The crisis is still not over, and it is important to strengthen the authorities’ capacity to stop any new outbreaks and prevent the spread of infection.
Krisen er fortsatt ikke over og det er viktig å styrke lokale myndigheters kapasitet til å stanse nye utbrudd og hindre smittespredning.
‘Norway has had a broad engagement in the efforts to fight Ebola.
- Norge har engasjert seg bredt i innsatsen mot ebola.
We will continue our strong engagement by providing support to NGOs, the World Health Organization and other partners.
Vi vil fortsette med et sterkt norsk engasjement gjennom bistand til frivillige hjelpeorganisasjoner, Verdens helseorganisasjon og andre partnere.
This will include an additional contribution of NOK 50 million to the WHO’s efforts.
Norge vil støtte Verdens helseorganisasjons innsats mot ebola med ytterligere 50 millioner kroner.
Altogether, Norway has provided more than NOK 500 million to the fight against Ebola,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende, who visited Liberia and Sierra in September last year.
Til sammen har Norge bidratt med over en halv milliard kroner, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende, som besøkte Liberia og Sierra Leone i september i fjor.
The infection rate in Sierra Leone has fallen.
Ebolaepidemien i Sierra Leone er redusert.
The Government of Sierra Leone has decided that the Ebola clinic in Moyamba, where Norwegian health personnel have been working since December, is to stop admitting new patients, and is to close completely by the end of March.
Regjeringen i Sierra Leone har besluttet at ebola-klinikken i Moyamba, der norsk helsepersonell har jobbet siden oktober, skal stoppe inntak av nye pasienter og stenges helt ned i løpet av mars.
‘Norway, together with the UN and the UK, supports this decision, and we are therefore bringing back the Norwegian health workers at the end of March,’ said Minister of Health and Care Services Bent Høie, who visited Sierra Leone in February.
- Norge, i likhet med FN og Storbritannia, støtter denne beslutningen, og trekker derfor tilbake vårt helsepersonell i slutten av mars, sier helse- og omsorgsminister Bent Høie, som besøkte Sierra Leone i februar.
No new cases of Ebola have been confirmed in the Moyamba district in recent weeks.
I Moyambadistriktet har det ikke vært bekreftede tilfeller av ebola de siste ukene.
This means that there is less need for treatment centres, but the general health and humanitarian needs in the country are very great.
Dette medfører et redusert behov for behandlingssentre, samtidig som øvrige helse- og humanitære behov er store.
The health authorities in Sierra Leone want to see a rapid normalisation of the situation, so that the local health workers can return to their normal jobs and help to rebuild the country’s ordinary health services.
Helsemyndighetene i Sierra Leone ønsker derfor en snarlig normalisering av situasjonen slik at lokalt helsepersonell kan gjeninntre og gjenoppbygge landets ordinære helsetjeneste.
