@Graham (the original) - Too true. Which is why Mugabe will fight your suggestion to the bitter end... It matters not what is debated and argued - the fact is that people vote with their feet. Pretty much always have and always will. 5 million pairs of feet can't lie.

"..a deep creeping unease... the hairs on the back of my neck standing up again". Unfortunately, Hope, your fears are well founded. What is worse, no-one other nation is going to lift a finger to stop this low-level war from happening. Zimbabweans themselves and the MDC will just have to come up with more imaginative ways of dealing with it. Unfortunately, the process of saving Zimbabwe may be decades long. Five million Zimbabweans have already decided to get on with their lives elsewhere outside the country, making it that much harder for those remaining. If I can make one suggestion, it is that the balance of power lies with the 5 million of us in the Diaspora. When we in the Diaspora are allowed to vote outside the country, then real change may finally happen...

Would like to ask anyone who has the time to post a comment on the corrupt people who run Camec the mining company stolen then sold to them (Camec) by Mugabwe. The money generated from this company bought arms that have been used in the oppression of ordinary Zimbabwe people. The site to post on is Interactive Investor where it is easy to join as a free member. Search share CFM which will give you the Camec site and under discussion let the shareholders know about what you think of them supporting this evil man. The shareholders know what they are doing, let them know you know. cheers Al.

Social unrest can certainly lead to anarchy, which can only play into the hands of the military junta. A state of emergency decree by Mugabe would be just the ticket they needed to stifle MDC's aspirations at birth. Fortunately, however, the West would then certainly sit up and take notice, especially if a peoples movement were to show loudly and clearly that they wanted democracy back again -but then without the 'old regime'. But the possible bloodshed doesn't bear thinking about. Zimbabwe has gone through enough of that already.
