Zimbabwe Elections


At lunchtime the MDC
 declared victory in the elections. The silence from Mugabe is deafening. No results have been released yet. Do you think he'll broker a deal? or is he busy still filling in ballot papers in his lounge?

Do you think he'll go quietly?

There's a place that never dies in the southern sun,
Cause your love is on the run,
Let me out,
Set me free

Re: Zimbabwe Elections


As far as I'm aware most of the army is in the pockets of Zanu-PF and with Mugabe as Commander in Chief or whatever, I can forsee a situation in which military rule is initiated (perhaps after a civil war is whipped up, Kenya-stylee), thus reinstalling Mugabe as the de facto dictator of Zim. Whatever, these are 'interesting' times for that benighted country. If I were Zimbabwean, I'd be trying my damnedest to get the **** out of there.

I couldn't agree more, but going by some of the posts on this site regarding asylum seekers, I take it they won't be welcome here?

Re: Zimbabwe Elections


As a allegedly free and prosperous nation, we have a duty to offer those in need of genuine asylum our protection and assistance. I know this doesn't go down well at the Daily Mail who seem to think that all immigrants are scroungers. I think we can all look around our teams and see several Zimbabweans that do a good job and contribute a lot to our society.

Go quietly, I don't think he'll go full stop, I just think that things will get worse emoticon

It's a source of enormous pride to me that my country has always been a safe haven for people fleeing persecution.

I can't quite see where you get that idea from Simpson. What about Mehdi Kamezi the Gay Iranian as but one example?
