		<description>The BBC news website today has an article entitled &quot;Mugabe rival sets run-off terms&quot;, and in the article is a video showing victims of the intimidation and violence of the elections.  Sokwanele is mentioned as a source of information - the reporter has the website up on his laptop.  Glad to see that the BBC is publicizing the situation.

Many of the e-mails I sent to UN reps have been returned undeliverable, but most went through.  Stay strong Zimbabwe.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;189708&#039;,&#039;Rafiki&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;189708&#039;,&#039;Rafiki&#039;,&#039;The BBC news website today has an article entitled \&quot;Mugabe rival sets run-off terms\&quot;, and in the article is a video showing victims of the intimidation and violence of the elections.

		<description>Earlier this evening, I commented somewhere else on the following wins. I&#039;ll list them here again to keep us moving.

1.  ANC has declared a crisis and intention to mediate proactively.  Yeah!  Go South Africa.

2.  George Bush phoned the Secretary General and said enough [!] - actually he said this has gone on long enough.

3.  BBC says UK and USA will try to raise Zimbabwe at the Security Council meeting.

4. New Zealand and South African Parliamentarians got us on the agenda of the Inter Parliamentary meeting.  Go New Zealand and South Africa.

5.  There is a campaign in Sweden where people with links to Zimbabwe have a one minute silence at 12.01 every day.  The time is to signify that we have left one era and began another.  The campaign was initiated by an expatriate who is grateful for the time he spent in Zimbabwe.  Thank you!

6. People stormed the Zim embassy in London.

7. The phones to Zim officials are congested with people calling in.  mmmm  . . don&#039;t mess with Zimbabwean women!

Remember small actions count. This is like getting a car out of mud.  Put your foot on the accelerator and your wheels will spin, taking you in deeper. Self control to inch out, pardon my mixing of metaphors, by to inch out millimeter by millimeter.  Self-control to come out slowly gets us out faster.  And Zimbabweans are good at self-control.  Really very very good at smiling, taking a deep breath, and dealing with unreasonable people.

There is going to be a three day rolling demonstration outside the Zim embassy in London (on the Strand up from Trafalgar Square/Charing Cross tube). Thursday, Friday, Saturday.  Come if you can.  We WILL celebrate the 28th anniversary of Independence. We will celebrate people who have fought for our country.  We will celebrate everything good about Zimbabwe.  We will remind the world they like doing business with us and playing sport with us.   We will invite the embassy staff out to join us.  We will show our smiling faces.  We don&#039;t mean to disrespect anyone at home - we know celebrating there will be difficult.  

We will send a clear message - join us - we are not dumb - we understand the issues but that does not stop us from being nice.

Good luck to people in the USA.  South Africa, keep up the pressure.  Zimbabweans, keep safe.  UK, get to the Strand, Thursday, Friday or Saturday.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;189639&#039;,&#039;scotchcart&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;189639&#039;,&#039;scotchcart&#039;,&#039;Earlier this evening, I commented somewhere else on the following wins.

		<description>A point worth making in such an email is that the people of Zimbabwe voted on the understanding that if they voted against Zanu-PF they would not need to fear the State&#039;s repressive machinery being unleashed on them, as Zanu-PF would no longer be in power. These people&#039;s trust has been betrayed. Given the punishments that are now being handed out by state-sponsored militias, it is unlikely that the people will trust any ballot in the future. 

It is therefore important that the region and the international community finds some way to commit to the people of Zimbabwe that they will not be punished for voting the &quot;wrong&quot; way in future.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;189433&#039;,&#039;Mike&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;189433&#039;,&#039;Mike&#039;,&#039;A point worth making in such an email is that the people of Zimbabwe voted on the understanding that if they voted against Zanu-PF they would not need to fear the State\&#039;s repressive machinery being unleashed on them, as Zanu-PF would no longer be in power.

		<description>I understand that New Zealand got Zimbabwe on the agenda at the Inter Parliamentary meeting in Cape Town this week.  

NZ + SAfricans with a conscience was a powerful mix.

Small countries matter.  Small actions matter.  Small people matter.

Small people who take small actions make small countries matter.

Thanks New Zealand.  Thank you South African parliamentarians.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;189426&#039;,&#039;scotchcart&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;189426&#039;,&#039;scotchcart&#039;,&#039;I understand that New Zealand got Zimbabwe on the agenda at the Inter Parliamentary meeting in Cape Town this week.  \r\n\r\nNZ + SAfricans with a conscience was a powerful mix.\r\n\r\nSmall countries matter.
