ZIMBABWE



Well, the results will finally be released. After reports of widespread bullying, beating up, torture in which government/military thugs are trying to force people to vote for ZANU-PF during a recount, we will finally see the results of the presidential race. This should happen tomorrow, I’m guessing. But there’s no guarantee that the released results whatever they are will cull or mitigate the post-election tension and violence. But hopefully it’s a step to returning to progress (though honestly the country was in the midst of regression).

MDC is still refusing to participate in a run-off or a recount.

Thousands of prison wardens in Kenya are on strike. This is really not good. Some senior workers have been charged with inciting workers to strike.
