I can't say that I'm surprised by the latest developments, but I continue to hold out hope that the people will prevail and Mugabe will be forced to step down.
Though I don't usually agree with Condi Rice, I stand behind her recent assessment that Mugabe is "a disgrace" to his people.

There is no sleeping here. Everyone is kept awake to stop Mugabe from stealing the election. In past elections,the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission announced results as they came in. Today they are dragging their legs.
Security chiefs including Commander of the Defence Forces, Constantine Chiwenga, Commander of the Zimbabwe National Army, Lieutenant General Phillip Sibanda, Air Force of Zimbabwe Commander, Air Marshall Perrence Shiri, Commissioner General of the Zimbabwe Republic Police Augustine Chihuri, the Director General of the Central Intelligence Organization retired Major General Happyton Bonyongwe and the Commissioner of Prisons, Paradzai Zimondi yesterday held an urgent meeting with Mugabe. We wait to hear what it was about but news is that they were telling him the honeymoon is over - it sure lasted long for him. We await official confirmation.
We wont sleep till ZEC officially endorses our Independence.
