Western opinion on the new coalition in Zimbabwe

Now the question is do we "trust" the new coalition government? Will they put the country first and work together to restore Zimbabwe? It's a tricky question and one really has to wait and see. The West has shifted its policy on the Zimbabwe slightly, saying they feel they need to give this a go/chance but will not lift sanctions immediately until there is evidence Mugabe is willing to work to help this country out of this crisis. I like many have my doubts but also feel that we have to give this a chance and see what may come out of it. The problem however is that in the meantime cholera has infected over 65,000 and deaths are nearing 3,200.
