UPDATE: As soon as I published this, the BBC reports “no deal” as been reached for Mugabe to step down.
Zimbabwe’s presidential election was held this past Saturday and media organizations around the world are widely reporting the end is possibly near for the country’s ruthless dictator, President Robert Mugabe. Although it’s entirely unclear what transpired this Tuesday, one thing is for sure: all of us anxiously awaiting the results of the election are forced to wait yet again.
Both sides — the ZANU-PF and MDC — are still playing against one another. Some high-ranking ZANU-PF officers have told reporters that Mugabe is meeting with aides and the MDC to determine an “exit strategy” while the MDC spokesman says he has heard nothing of such meetings. (Surprise, surprise.)
Judes and I are watching closely on the BBC and other world news sites, and have our champagne on ice if Mugabe’s day has finally come.
