...Morgan Tsvangirai has no prior experience running a government. Seasoned policy makers would find revitalizing Zimbabwe an ordeal beyond imagination. In this time of grave humanitarian and economic crises, Zimbabwe definitely deserves international support and attention. The U.S. State Department seems to disagree. Top U.S. diplomat for Africa, Jendayi Frazer, pushed for UN sanctions on Zimbabwe as a world response to violence in the region. What Frazer does not realize is that the time lag in the execution of the legislation would result in it hitting the beleaguered Tsvangirai government, rather the oppressive Mugabe regime. Furthermore, sanctions can produce more...
...currently talking, under the mediating hand of former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, with a view to heading off the slide into catastrophe. Still, there are clear signs that the tribal conflict is now taking an increasingly organized form, which U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Jendayi Frazer characterized as "clear ethnic cleansing." As in the conflicts in what was once Yugoslavia, the purpose of the increasingly organized mobs killing and threatening members of other tribes was to force all members of that tribe to leave an area. And it may take a lot more than agreement among rival...
After a week of violence, Kibaki and Odinga came under heavy international pressure--and intensive lobbying by African leaders like Tutu and Ghanaian President John Kufuor and by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Jendayi Frazer--to reach some sort of compromise.

...today the East African nation--indeed, the whole Horn of Africa--is again in chaos. Ethiopia and Eritrea, which split from Ethiopia in 1993, are on the verge of war (they fought a bitter conflict from 1998 to 2000), and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Jendayi Frazer has said that she is considering naming Eritrea a state sponsor of terrorism. Somalia itself is in the grip of a humanitarian crisis; according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, 1.8 million Somalis are in dire need of assistance. And once again--if with less media...
...Bush Administration, which condemned the 2005 crackdown, has been largely silent on the accusations of human-rights violations in Ogaden. The Western diplomat believes Ethiopia "bought itself a free pass on human rights" by cooperating in the hunt for the three al-Qaeda operatives. True or not, Frazer has made it clear where U.S. support lies. Last month, after Eritrea closed the American consulate in Asmara, she announced Washington was doing the same to the Eritrean consulate in Oakland, Calif., and considering adding the Eritrean government to its list of state sponsors of terrorism. "Eritrea has played a key role...
