It appears that my new hopes for Zimbabwe, just a few hours old, have encountered a significant hurdle. The Mugabe government, apparently defeated in recent national elections, has begun a crackdown on members of the opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).
This involves police raids on gathering places of MDC members and the arrest of journalists.
Furthermore, the government has not released the results of the elections and has not allowed foreign press to cover these elections.
Therefore, with no foreign press to report the news and the press in Zimbabwe effectively stifled, one can only imagine what the announce “results” of the elections might be.
My heart is still with Zimbabwe today but, it is much sadder than just a few hours ago.
