President Robert Mugabe's past land reforms drove more than 4,000 farmers off their land and destroyed a once prosperous sector. One year after a historic power-sharing deal was signed, Zimbabwe's agriculture is still in the doldrums.

Zimbabwe's justice minister has accused a European Union delegation that visited the country of taking sides against President Robert Mugabe (pictured). EU officials pledged €90 million in aid but said sanctions would remain in place.
