The army will just gun them down. Mugabe knows no-one outside will do anything to stop them. Not South Africa and certainly not us.

We can't exactly intervene militarily, since we need airspace permission and we won't get it.

The sooner Mugabe is out of power, the better. What are the MDC like, policy wise?

Zanu-PF sources are saying possible run-off.

I don't know whether Mugabe has the support of the army any more. That could be crucial.

Opposition have declared victory in presidential race.

Have you ever heard of two sets of results for the same election being announced in the past?

This is the strangest election I've ever witnessed. I've never heard of a dictator trying to rig an election and failing.

Yeah, but they clearly did win outright in the real election results.

Tsvangirai pulls out

This election was meaningless either way.
