First, there is the speculation relating to some sort of re-count of votes. Now, an "emergency meeting" of African leaders in the area around Zimbabwe, to "discuss" the election that took place twelve days ago, of which the results have still not been released? What is there to discuss? Someone, or some people in high-up positions in Harare, have been duped by the election results, and the widespread unpopularity of Mugabe's regime that is quite evident. They cannot exactly hope for electoral miracles, so they are attempting to concoct one.
What is next? A "temporary emergency government" in place, with Robert Mugabe as its leader, to offset the possibility of social and political instability in the country? Never say never; certainly not in Zimbabwe with these current harlequins at the helm.
One thing that was always predictable, as reported here, is this: "Meanwhile, Zimbabwe's state-run Herald newspaper reports the ruling Zanu-PF has increased the number of constituency results it is contesting from 16 to 21." Can anyone detect an acute aura of deja-vu at work here?
