Okay well we know this recount is being rigged and come on they have not even released the results this should tell you something is very wrong here.

Please I hear the African nations talking about Zimbabwe but you are doing nothing. the people of Zimbabwe needs action not words now so step in and do something! That is the problem too much talkings and not doing anything which helps no one but Mugabe and his regime..

Britain has no hair! Bring in the troops and take down this killer and his troops! Watch them run when real troops come! This man needs to brought forth for his crimes! He is the worst terrorist that is out there! The KKK hasn't killed as many blacks as this butcher! There's an idea! Let the KKK have him and as many of his troops as they can catch!

Mr., it is such silly and immature thinking that has caused Africans much suffering in their recent history. The British monarchical establishment is very much aware of the Zimbabwean situation as it is using its historical "divide and conquer" tactics to influence the situation on the ground. The only difference is that now, they use the media to do these things.

Southern Africans, this is a West African speaking. Wake up!! Do not let another generation of your children become prey for the Britons and their business, NGO, media and political network. Solve your problem in your own way and on your own time. And realise that this ARMS FROM CHINA STORY is British propaganda at its best. Again, wake up!!

The Institute for Democracy in South Africa (IDASA) have released a very useful report yesterday - recommended reading for all interested in the counting, re-counting and possible rigging of the Zimbabwean elections.

The 15 page report is titled ‘The Inconvenient Truth: A complete guide to the delay in releasing the results of Zimbabwe’s presidential poll.’, and can be downloaded in .pdf format from the sokwanele.com website: http://www.sokwanele.com/thisiszimbabwe/archives/891

There is detailed analysis of just how Zimbabwean electoral law has not been followed by the ZEC during the events subsequent to the election day.

This is the IDASA Mission Statement:

IDASA is an independent public interest organization committed to promoting sustainable democracy based on active citizenship, democratic institutions and social justice.

I think this has just shown how shallow minded ZANU PF is. The results were posted on each polling station and showed what had transpired.

The "law" also states that a recount can only be done 48hrs after the results have been announced. The reason i put it in qoutes is because I do not think there is any law above ZANU PF.

I think that Mugabe lost the elections and as he has always vowed that Tsvangirai will never rule Zimbabwe, this is what is happening. Now Mugabe is dogging all gatherings for SADC by giving excuses.

Any level headed person knows that they are now rigging the votes. It all clear. Mugabe should just tell us that there is no need to vote because whatever the result he will hold on to power.

There are foriegn observers in the country so i guess you dont trust them too? Morgan was claiming victory before the first count was even complete - how can that be? The mdc were allways going to cry about rigged elections,deaths,beatings ect. It's the same old story - They will say and do anything to win. Zimbabwe is in this position because of the mdc.

No you are dreaming The Movement for Democratic change was formed precisely for what the name stands for democratic change and why would a democratic movement spontaneously form in a country where everything are supposed to be peachy. The truth is Mugabe and ZANU messed up big time and made millions suffer MDC are powerless compared to what criminal acts Mugabe has done to our country. No body is blind every one knows that MDC are not to blame. The liberation struggle was supposed to have ended 28 years ago so where is our freedom and prosperity? Mugabe lost the election and must go now! No games.

Kub, get out of New Zealand & go back to Zim. You talk of how great it is and that no one is starving and how the MDC and Western World are to blame for its troubles. Surely if you believe that load of garbage you talk, you would NOT live in the WESTERN WORLD and you would be in Zim with your BELOVED leader. Seriously GO, stop going on about how your work takes you here and there. If you really believed in what you say you would be there fighting for what you think is right not hiding behind a desk in a Western (Enemy) Country. Your bullshit is getting old now.

I never thought all international institutions could cow and be held at ransom by this aged dictator, Mugabe. They allow him to take donkey years to count votes(remember during his hay days counting lasted less than 24 hrs for the House of Assembly, but today a recount of JUST 23 SEATS has already taken plus 72 hrs). As if this is not enough, he continues to be silent on the Presidential votes. I would have thought he announces these before any recounts. Nobody (International Institutions) ever thought or demanded that Ballot boxes be monitored 24/7 once delays started 48hrs after voting.

Now we have given the dictator all the time to temper and rig the results because we were assured by his friend Mbeki that "quite diplomacy" was working and that "there is no crisis in Zimbabwe". I bleed with anger to forsee the International Institutions condemning the outcome of this recount, presidential results and the obviously ochestrated Presidential run-off. We all see it coming and do nothing. When it comes we start to pretend to act. The actions being imposing sunctions on Zimbabwe. But have you ever asked yourselves if Mugabe, his family & relatives and cronies will fail to get bread, butter, milk, maize-meal yet alone petrol/diesel for even a minute during the duration of the sunctions. You fool yourselves and dream that sunctions will put pressure on him, but ALAS, the Dictator never cares and bothers what happens to his people. Its these innocent people whose votes you deliberately allowed Mugabe to steal who will forever suffer. And who will offer salvation to these impoverished and marginalised when we all but cast a dark cloud. This is gross neglect of mankind, particularly by UN when history tells of the uproot of Saddam. Yet reality shows Zimbabwe has no Oil to risk for. I rest my case!!!!!

Well done to Kenya's prime minister Raila Odinga "age of dictators was long gone" at least he had the backbone and honesty to openly say mugabe is a dictator. Yes true but now we have to get rid of these Dictators starting with Mugabe. What are Africa's leaders afraid of what can Mugabe do? Mugabe is a dictator and dictators are the reason why Africa continues to suffer. No country or leader in africa owes Mugabe anything for any past favours or support. Any support recieved in the past was due to the Zimbabwean people, now we need you help, we need you to be firm speak out and tell Mugabe Sorry mate you lost and Zimbabweans need their freedom and democracy back. 28 years is too Long for any one man to control the lives of Millions. No country will benifit from the continuation of a Mugabe regime, Not China and not SADC. Millions of lives should be put ahead of one old man. Show some solidarity with African people not dictators. Maybe one day we will remeber you when you need help.
