ZIMBABWE: MUGABE UPDATE

More violent crackdowns from Mugabe’s henchmen in Zimbabwe.

The recount results expected this weekend or early next week will do little to restore credibility to this election process, Gagnon said.  The violent crackdown on the opposition is just one more sign that President Mugabe will stop at nothing to keep hold of power. A re-run of the presidential race will have no validity.

Human Rights Watch said that the dramatic escalation of violence shows that the initiatives of the intergovernmental Southern African Development Community (SADC) and South African President Thabo Mbeki’s mediation role have not been effective in resolving the political impasse and ending the violence.

The SADC and President Mbeki are standing by as Zimbabweans suffer horribly at the government’s hands, said Gagnon. The African Union should immediately step in to protect civilians and resolve this crisis before it gets any worse.

Nothing is going to stop this guy.  I am almost to the point now where I am thinking that the blame for this situation should be placed not on Mugabe, but by groups like Human Rights Watch, the Southern African Development Community and South African President Thabo Mbeki who stand by doing nothing to stop him but all the while fooling the opposition activist and citizens of Zimbabwe into thinking there is any hope for free elections.  These type of strongmen are the rule of the land in Africa.  Mugabe is not going anywhere, get used to it.
