Really ? Did anyone actually think there would be a fair election that wasn't fixed or one where oppenents were threatened with death until they withdrew from the campaign ? No surprise at all. :nope:

Platapus 06-30-08 05:12 AM

very sad situation there :nope:

What balls to be able to say that he "won the election". :down:

Weigh-Man 06-30-08 08:25 AM

The bit that got me was the election committee saying he had Won by a Landslide.

Well Duh!

Mugabe claims 'sweeping victory' of Zimbawe election
That sort of thing happens when the opposition backs down. :nope:

Mugabe is the Black Hitler of Africa. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/images/icons/icon8.gif

It's tough when you're running for an office and your opposition is holding you at gunpoint, your family hostage, and stationing armed soldiers loyal to him in the polls to arrest and shoot anyone voting for you. :nope:

You can't really apply the neo-hitler title unless he invades some Poland like country like Zambia or Botswana.

I really think he's delusional. Plus his inner circle is telling him things he wants to hear, not what's really happening.

The whole country is a mess. Inflation is over an astronomical figure of 1,000,000% :eek: Officially the government says inflation is 165,000%, which is still a record. They had to print Z$500,000,000 notes - and that's after lopping off three zeroes from their currency recently.

Life expectancy is one of the lowest on the continent, about 40 yrs. Four out of every 5 are unemployed. Zimbabwe's dollar is virtually worthless. One U.S. dollar was worth Z$11 billion this week compared with Z$6 billion a week ago. On the black market 1 dollar is worth Z$17 billion.

With all this happening, how can any reasonably competent leader NOT be cognizant of the situation? All he does is blame the west, in particular US & UK.

Yeah! If you didn't vote for him, you wound up in a landslide. It was an election worthy of Saddam Hussein. Still, some 300,000 people total either voted for Tsvingarai or defaced their ballots. To me, the biggest enabler is Thabo Mbeki. All South Africa has to do is cut off transport links and electrical power to Zimbabwe and Mugabe would have no income other than what he can beat out of his peasants. He may have been the guiding force in the liberation struggle but anyone who had followed his career could have called this end from his first statements after being elected President 30 years ago.

To me there is no greater contrast than comparing Uncle Bob Mugabe to his counterpart in struggle, Nelson Mandela, after watching the 46664 concert from London and how fortunate South Africa was to have someone of iron integrity like Mandela.

Because, let's face it. We are ALL the Scatterlings of Africa:
