It takes a special kind of dictator to fix an election – and still lose.
Yet that’s exactly what seems to have happened to Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe, whose 28-year reign of terror has dragged a nation once known as Africa’s breadbasket to the brink of starvation.
Voters went to the polls Saturday for elections that no one of sound mind thought would turn out to be free or fair. Still, the Zimbabwe Election Commission revealed yesterday that Mugabe’s ruling ZANU-PF party has lost control of parliament for the first time since 1980.
You’ve GOT to hope that Mugabe and his thugs are somehow ousted, once and for all. NOBODY deserves what he’s done.
