Stop all food aid to Zimbabwe, say donor agencies, unless President Robert Mugabe reverses his latest directive for them to surrender it to ruling-party officials.
Human rights groups said the United Nations and its partner aid agencies and Western diplomats in Harare should reject his latest demand and refuse to hand over food aid for distribution by party militants.
Transparency International (Zimbabwe chapter) chairperson John Makumbe said on Tuesday: "It's well within the rights of the donor agencies to refuse food aid to protest against its politicisation by the Mugabe regime."
