He'll admit irregularities in the vote casting due to unpreparedness of the electoral commision - this being part of the strategy - and cite the climate of intimidation and violence (albeit caused by his security machine). The results will be declared null and void, giving him a breathing space to rethink, remobilize and have a determination on just how much the vote was in or out of his favour.

For geography, we have to do a research assignment about an African country - we chose Zimbabwe. We were like, "Yay! This will be fun! I mean - Africa; safaris and all!" Turns out Africa isn't like that at all. Of course we had heard about AIDS and HIV and ra ra ra - it didn't apply to us - we simply didn't care really. . . until now. This website has really opened our eyes. It's scary to think that we live in a globalized world, and yet we didn't know about this problem in Zambawe until we had to look for it!!!! To all the people who submit all these updates, thank you - we're definately going to - wait. We can't do anything. But we will try to spread word. EACH ONE, TELL ONE. Thanks, and good luck.
