联合国秘书长潘基文呼吁津巴布韦总统穆加贝兑现和反对派之间的权力分享协定，潘基文说，穆加贝“应该展望津巴布韦的未来”。潘基文星期五在日内瓦说，津巴布韦人民饱受长期政治动乱之苦，现在还有严重的人道灾难。
联合国估计，在津巴布韦目前的霍乱疫情当中大约有800人死亡，将近1万7千人受感染。津巴布韦霍乱带来健康危机的同时，选举后达成的权力分享协定没有得到贯彻，而且还出现基础设施崩溃和极度的通货膨胀问题。潘基文呼吁穆加贝总统“以正面的方式留下他的政治遗产”。
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe to honor a power-sharing deal with the opposition, saying Mr. Mugabe should “look to the future of his country.” Speaking in Geneva Friday, the U.N. chief said the people of Zimbabwe have suffered too much and too long from political turmoil now coupled with serious humanitarian tragedies.
The United Nations estimates nearly 800 people have died and nearly 17-thousand are infected from an ongoing cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe. The health crisis comes amid failure to implement the post-election power-sharing deal, crumbling infrastructure and hyperinflation. Mr. Ban urged President Mugabe to, in his words, “leave his legacy in a positive way.”
