 HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - Outgoing U.S. Ambassador Christopher Dell ended his three-year term in Zimbabwe with a message for the citizens of the troubled southern African country: "Keep the faith. Things will change soon."
Dell, an outspoken critic of President Robert Mugabe's human and democratic rights record, left Saturday for his next post as ambassador of Afghanistan.
Dell has predicted total economic collapse in Zimbabwe by the end of the year and said in one farewell interview with an independent newspaper last month that the government was "doing regime change to itself" through economic mismanagement and a crackdown on prices.
