It's heart wrenching to see all those horrific accounts of atrocities being committed by the Tyrant of Harare, and to hear first hand from exiles of the horrors at work.
Mugabe has of course long been giving African despots a bad name. Why be surprised if he continues to employ Ceaucescu tactics on his own people?
From far off London it's impossible to truly grapple with the evil at play and the terrors being confronted. Any words from this safe and distant desk are ephemeral. But if they catch on a breeze and someone might take note, I whisper this; take heart. Don't give up. An election that is unfought, howsoever justified by the price in blood, is always taken by apologists as an endorsement to the incumbent. A stolen election never can be.
