I think most of the world already knows the outcome already. They just keep hoping against hope (and against common sense) that Mugabe won't steal the election.
By the way, isn't 'Marxist freedom fighter' an oxymoron?
He has already stolen the election. Actually "robbery with violence" is a better description.
My, possibly vain, hope is that the citizenry will take it back.
The outcome of the balloting will go some way toward helping the Commonwealth decide whether to back the tyrant or the citizenry.
This ought to have been a no-brainer but the Commonwealth Heads of Governmant meeting at Brisbane deferred making a decision pending the balloting.
The EU is also waffling, but that is totally in character for the left dominated European states. As Zim is part of the Commonwealth, it has a higher duty than the EU.
Zim is a common law country with a citizenry that, unlike most of Africa, knows the Rule of Law.
As always, it is for them to stare down the tyrant and for us to support them.
