Mugabe Versus The MDC. Zimbabwe Awaits Second Results.
Finally a tyrant is brought into the 21st century, if kicking and screaming. President Robert Mugabe’s rein of terror looks at an end at last as Mr Morgan Tsvangirai challenged the president’s choice to refuse an announcement of election results until there had been a recount. There is now to be a re-run of the presidential poll and good luck to the Movement of Democratic Choice that they make it out of this second one alive.
Mr Nqobizitha Mlilo, spokesman for the MDC, said ‘it is quite obvious we won this election hands down’, as the president refuses to admit he is being ousted after 28 long years of suffering for Zimbabwe. Almost a modern day Hitler it is widely known of his special police hunting white framers and killing any opposition from the people, black or white.
Now the public can see he is scared, and if he doesn’t step down now he will surely be dragged from power and charged with genocide. With the ‘worsening violence’ hopefully coming to an end as the country has the re-run the possibility that a kinder man will be seated at the reins of one of Africa’s most beautiful but troubled contries is uncertain.
Mr Tsvangirai, thankfully, is no dunce. After the trouble with releasing the results became public he quickly took refuge in Zimbabwe’s neighbouring country, the peaceful Botswana. Never has there been two more juxtaposing countries to share a border.
With leaders the world over including UK Prime Minister Brown advising Mugabe to step down only to receive abusive speeches in return it will be a relief globally when he is finally out.
Because the MDC have not won outright if Mugabe will not step down it will mean his party, ZANU PF, attempting to run the country with an opposition-controlled parliament. Yet more instability for a country already on its knees.
The only question now is whether Tsvangirai can win the run off. With Mugabe’s former finance minsiter Simba Makoni behind him as well it must be possible. The MDC must be praying the country does not suffer yet more violence as they make plans to see the run-off though.
