Wrong guys. SADC said “peaceful and credible”. It should be INSTRUCTIVE that the words free and fair were not used in their report.

Remember two things: SADC and AU will not recognise a military coup; and more importantly, the army is not big enough to overrun the people of Zimbabwe. They can show force in one or two cities, in one or two areas, but not everywhere. And also we know now that many soldiers and policemen are also fed up with Mugabe. There is no going back on the polling station results, even if they rig Chimanimani that's about all they can manage. The people have won! Speak to the police and soldiers you see, convince them to be on the people's side. But stay calm... if there is fighting he will declare martial law.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('168193','BM'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('168193','BM','Well done Zimbabweans, well done and all praise to you all for remaining calm.

We feel for you who have stayed to fight. At times it has been unbearable to read about the immense suffering. Visiting, one feels the only thing left is what nature and God gave us, the beautiful hills, valleys, mountains and people. I have met many people across nations and continents who lived , worked as expatriates, visited, and they all have such fond memories, love for our country and its people. That gave me hope time and time again. Leaving home in 1992 for a chance to work with the UN when my life was falling apart, I can only pray that it is over. Those who died of aids, didn't have to if they did not have to fight, struggle to get food, medicines,sugar, fuel and everything. I have prayed and continue praying that we shall overcome and we will. Friends told me I was mad to leave beautiful Zim. I felt the same and still do.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('168189','Anonymous'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('168189','Anonymous','We are holding our breathe too from across the seas.

I agree with everything you have just said. I'm of the mind that the forces of terror, the same ones out to quash the people's victory, gain precedence and power in the dark. It's very likely that when we wake up tomorrow, these forces of darkness would have done their job, denying people their victory. it's sad.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('168182','MacVivo'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('168182','MacVivo','It\'s really sad i tell.
