Tsvangirai flees to Dutch Embassy - Latest

Good sources reporting Mugabe's opponent is taking refuge at present inside the Dutch Embassy. He can't use the UK or US embassies because of the politically damaging look of going to those Mugabe has painted out he works for.

A Zimbabwe blogger starts his post from yesterday thus:

This morning I woke up to the sound of my cell phone beeping messages about what was happening in Harare. The day started to roller-coaster forwards from there, fuelled by adrenaline and anxiety.

While I was scrambling to get the pages of the blog to open up to add news received via sms and emails, the question going through my mind the whole time was ‘Will the MDC call the rally off or not?’ At that stage my mind hadn’t reached far enough forwards to contemplate whether they might consider pulling out of the run-off.


The opposition are in a sad state of disarray. The Guardian reports the MDC Headquarters in Harare have been stormed by police. The police we shall continue to profile.

The people can still vote can't they? It still is a secret vote isn't it? Tsvangirai's name is still on the ballot isn't it?
