As a South African citizen, I believe my country should be doing more to sort this mess out. But on the other hand, we've got our wn shit to deal with and Zim has been like a buddy we've had to bail out of jail for the last few decades.
Any result now will be shrouded in uncertainty. They've gone and fucked up their first chance in a long time to do something right.

you know what, i never used to dislike Mugabe. i actually thought he was in the right at one stage. when zimbabwe was a colony, the british took land from the blacks to use for their own purposes. when zimbabwe became independent Mugabe signed a deal with the british to get the land back. the only thing bad now is that he's gone overboard, because he has little right to oppress his enemies and rig elections.
it's far more complex than "Mugabe is evil and oppressing his own people and took the land from the whites forcefull, the evil fuck!!" as a british person myself i guess it's one of the negative legacies of the Empire.
