Robert Mugabe has lost control of the Zimbabwe parliament following the national election this week. It seems the opposition has taken a majority of seats in the countries parliament.
If that's the case it should kick off a presidential run-off between Mugabe and Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai.
I say should because I find it hard to believe that Mugabe will allow this process to run smoothly or fairly. Already he is dismissing the opposition's claims of victory, in fact the results of the election would have been known on Sunday - yet they haven't been made public as yet. He has already warned this could be regarded as an attempted coupe...
Kind of shows what type of 'democracy' there is in the Mugabe government - when it look like he's loosing a fair election he claims a coupe attempt!
I pray that Mugabe goes... he is one of the worlds biggest political tyrants - unfortunately the USA and other nations don't seem to be as worried about him as they are about the middle east.
Maybe we need to uncover oil fields in Zimbabwe?
