Zimbabwe: Five More Years of Mugabe Hell.

Fire of Liberty

It seems Robert Mugabe and his Zanu PF party have won the election in Zimbabwe though it seems to have occurred through some dubious methods. Based on this article from The Financial Times, Mugabe is estimated to have won 70 seats of the 150 spots in Parliament and the president gets to select thirty more, which allows Mugabe full control of Parliament and the ability to change the constitution without a national vote. Heaven help the Zimbabwean people who have to live under Mugabe. I don't know if the people in Zimbabwe who oppose the leadership will be able to pull off a People's powered revolt but I could be wrong. We'll see. The people of this once great African nation deserve more than five or more years of Hell that "Uncle Bob" and his flunkies have put them through.
