Mugabe rejects poll delay calls
It appears that Friday's Zimbabwe's Presidential poll will be going aheard and clearly the world is withnessing the iron hands of Mr Robert Mugabe over his people and all the International communities can do is talk, talk, talk with no action, but who is to blame? you can't just attack a country and remove its president all because you think the country is not democratic. For Mugabe and his government no body had no right in dictating to them what they should do with their constitution and how they should govern their country.
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has brushed aside last minute calls for Friday's disputed presidential run-off election to be postponed or called off. Mr Mugabe said his party Zanu-PF would continue to rule the country as they believed it should be ruled. But in his final campaign speech, he offered talks with the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). Amid continuing violence on its supporters, the MDC has withdrawn from the contest. However, MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai said his supporters should vote rather than face violent reprisals. Reports suggested Zanu-PF membership cards were selling for huge sums of money on the black market. Those buying the cards believe they will offer some protection from attack by militias, a BBC correspondent reports.
