 HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - Zimbabwe signed an agreement Thursday with the United Nations food agency to feed at least 3 million people after previously denying major shortages in the troubled southern African country.
Relations with the World Food Program had been strained since President Robert Mugabe's government told it and other international organizations to stop large-scale feeding programs last year, saying Zimbabwe can feed itself.
The memorandum of understanding was signed after several weeks of discussions, WFP said. It sets out a framework under which food distributions will take place through June, while clarifying government and U.N. responsibilities.
