Elections

I apologise for the long delay between posts. Movement continues in Zimbabwe as the run-off of the Presidential Elections approaches.

It is clear that there is a widespread campaign of intimidation against the MDC and those who are considered subject to pressure in the run-up to the elections. Pictures have been received this week of some of the injuries received by those in Zimbabwe who are not fully aligned with the Zanu position.

It appears that there may have been some sort of intervention by South Africa leading to the re-run but increasingly it appears that the elections are subject to terrible pressure and intimidation tactics. It will be a pyrrhic victory for Mugabe, but it will allow him and his cronies to continue their incompetent rule of Zimbabwe.

Mugabe's reaction at all times is to blame the British, who it appears are at fault for the economic mismanagement of his country, and are to blame for all other faults. The poor of Zimbabwe are now also feeling the resentment of the people of South Africa as they seek to escape the terrors of the Mugable regime.

The question is - centrally - what are we to do? It appears for Christian people the most effective weapon is prayer. Prayer for a return to just and democractic government in Zimbabwe. Prayer for the death of Robert Mugabe.
