The Council for Zimbabwean Christian Leaders in the UK (CZCLUK) has welcomed the signing of the power sharing agreement as an act that brings hope to the suffering people in Zimbabwe and the millions now scattered around the world.
We urge both Zanu Pf and MDC in its two factions to put the interest of the zimbabwean first and ensure that this agreement brings a period of justice,peace and reconstruction.

To restore Zimbabwe should be the priority and we commit ourselves to ensuring that the benchmarks set in the power sharing agreement especially the writing of the new constitution are achieved in a just and democratic process. We encourage civic society to continue to serve the role of monitoring the process and its resultant government . Efforts have to be intensified to reduce and eliminate corruption, regionalism and intolerance, all symptoms of bad governance.

To that end, we urge the governmet of Zimbabwe to lift the sanctions it has imposed on its own people and allow NGOs to bring in much needed aid. We urge restraint of the violent squads that continue to terrorise citizens. We urge MDC and Zanu PF to embrace a principle of compromise in resolving their administrative differences such as who holds what cabinet post.
We urge the international community to be circumspect in its response to the political developments in Zimbabwe.

As Christian Leaders we will continue to watch and pray that this period of political labour gives birth to a new Zimbabwe.A Zimbabwe that grants equal opportunity, respects human rights, corrects past injustices and takes its place among progressive modern nations.
