Re: Zimbabwe Elections

Their followers have been being assualted, raped and killed for years and this will continue long after they throw in the towel, so I don't think it is that.

Re: Zimbabwe Elections

I wonder if the opposition's gamble of withdrawing will pay off? It may spark the international community into doing something (particularly South Africa) but equally Mugabe may just say that he won the election.

Re: Zimbabwe Elections

Unless the African Union declare Mugabe invalid, then nothing will change quite frankly.

Even with that nothing will change, too many cronies with too much to lose.

The only way anything will change is if the people want it bad enough and it would appear they probably don't

Re: Zimbabwe Elections

The latest seems to be that people are being beaten if they try and not vote!

Re: Zimbabwe Elections

The turnout is reportedly low. Should the UN impose sanctions?

Should Bush and Brown invade?
Probably not as there is no oil!

Re: Zimbabwe Elections

I think if the African Union can unite on this and South Africa declares the election illegal, then this might just tip it.
