As I wrote a couple weeks ago, Morgan Tsvangirai was sworn in as the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe. There had been hopes that this would help a country that has been struggling immensely over the last decade or so. However, the bad news continues for Mr. Tsvangirai. He and his wife were involved in a [...]
Approximately a year after beating current Zimbabwe “President,” Robert Mugabe, Morgan Tsvangirai was seated yesterday as Zimbabwe’s Prime Minister. Tsvangirai had beaten Mugabe in the March 2008 elections, but he was unable to obtain the necessary 50% of the vote. Thus a runoff had to be held. In typical fashion, Mugabe and his thugs broke [...]
Russia and China vetoed sanctions against Robert Mugabe’s unfair election in Zimbabwe. Western powers mustered nine votes, the minimum needed to gain approval in the 15-nation council, in a show of hands.

Mugabe’s party, the ZANU-PF will still not allow official election results to be released. However, yesterday the United States declared opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai the winner. Now violence is occuring: Heavily armed police swooped down [...]
Many are anxiously awaiting the results of the latest Zimbabwe Presidential election. Robert Mugabe, who has been know to “intimidate” voters in the past has once again been charged with this from outside sources. The country’s electoral commission said the count is taking longer because officials must certify results from local and parliamentary elections held [...]
RedState has excellent commentary on a recent article about Zimbabwe. I have several connections to this country through friends, etc., so I feel for the people there.
