This incident only serves to underline yet again how Mugabe's forces use tactics to try and ensure his personal survival by flouting the rule of law, and using illegal acts of detention to try and prevent a free and fair election. Cheer up, folks! At least we know where Morgan is, and where he is going. Mugabe, on the other hand, will soon be leaving for an unknown destination. And not before time! With already a majority in parliament, this is the strongest challenge to the Zanu-PF one-party rule that could ever be mounted, and short of genocide, pre-election violence and election irregularities will not prevent regime change from happening this time. The national consensus will prevail, whatever the cost.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('234909','True Grit'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('234909','True Grit','The world in general, and I for one, can only thank and salute Morgan for his enormous courage, and can only imagine how difficult it must be to run yet another campaign in such a politically hostile environment.
