HARARE, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's about-turn on U.N. housing aid for those left homeless by its slum demolitions signals a recognition of the government's lack of resources as well as an attempt to thaw frosty relations, an analyst said.
A spokesperson for a local housing rights group applauded the government's move, saying the state's own rebuilding exercise had only benefited a small fraction of those left homeless.
"We welcome the government's acceptance of U.N. aid. We would hope that the assistance would be directed at people that need it the most because at the moment we still have people living in the open," said the spokesperson for Housing People of Zimbabwe.
