Mugabe Vows Opposition Will Never Lead As Long As He Is Alive

Please die.
Mugabe delivered an ominous threat to the opposition in Zimbabwe today.
Lawhawk has details.

Mugabe vowed the opposition would never rule during his lifetime.

The Opposition may not be getting much support from regional leaders but the African people are following the latest tragic news from Zimbabwe:

The BBC reported more on the situation today:

President Robert Mugabe has vowed that the main opposition party will never lead Zimbabwe and said he was prepared to “go to war” for his country.

He is due to face Morgan Tsvangirai, leader of the Movement for Democratic Change, in a 27 June run-off poll.

Mr Tsvangirai was released after being arrested for the fifth time this week.

Meanwhile, deputy MDC leader Tendai Biti appeared in court in Harare, where a judge is to rule on the legality of his arrest on treason charges.

Mr Tsvangirai has been detained several times on the campaign trail.

On Saturday, he was stopped with 11 members of his party at a roadblock, the MDC said, and held at a police station for three hours.

The MDC issued a statement saying that it was now clearly impossible to talk about free and fair elections.

This looks frightening:
