Violent attacks on the opposition continue, and even after efforts at retroactive ballot-box stuffing the recount shows Mugabe and his party still lost. The government still refuses to release the full results of the election, one month after it happened. This seems to have paralyzed the MSM into a "wait and see" attitude. Wait for what, global warming? That won't happen until after the next ice age.
Zimbabwe's best hope at this point is Dr. Jendayi Frazer. She is the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Africa, and she speaks plain English that anyone can understand. She just met with the Zimbabwe opposition.
Frazer said, "We are certain that Morgan Tsvangirai won based on the reporting of the Zimbabwe Electoral Support Network and other independent monitors... I think [Mugabe] is -- with this great delay in announcement -- trying to steal the election. He is intimidating population and election officials as well. [We've] also heard reports of the police stuffing ballots."
