OPPOSITION Leader Morgan Tsvangirai has quit Zimbabwe's run-off election, saying violence has made a fair vote impossible, in a move that virtually hands victory to President Robert Mugabe.

"We will no longer participate in the violent illegitimate sham of an election process,'' Mr Tsvangirai, 56, said at his home, saying he could not ask supporters to cast ballots "when that vote would cost them their lives".

The opposition chief said Mr Mugabe had "declared war by saying that the bullet has replaced the ballot'', referring to the president's earlier threats to fight to keep the opposition out of power.

"We believe an election that reflects the will of the people is impossible,'' he said, as he appealed to the United Nations, African Union and regional body SADC to "intervene and stop the genocide''.

A certain little dictator was taking notes during our election perhaps?

Should be noted that he withdrew to avoid the impending violence as well.

SA is too busy being the rape capital of the world, I think they have their own shit to worry about, and tbh I doubt they give a crap about Zimbabwe.

I say we raise some funds and buy Zimbabwe. I think $10AU should cover it, with change. Go buy yourself something nice Mugabe!

Refugees... Expensive terroristic refugees.
I think Mugabe's fine for cash. I remember reading the specs for his merc limo - the thing's virtually a tank; insanely extravagant

the only thing Mugabe did to incite the rage from the West was to deprive the Whites of the farms which they stole from the black ancestors anyway. Other than this everything else he does is nothing different to any other African dictator.
The West imposed all these sanctions to cause `regime change` and to show South Africa and other countries in the region what will happen to them if they dare mess with the Whites, and to make sure they dont follow suit by repossessing white farms.

Yeah and by taking farms off white people who knew how to farm, he has raped his country so hard in the arse.

It has gone from being one of the worlds largest agriculture supplier, to a shit heap.

Ah, yes, a return to the good old days of White colonialism. Let's crack open the Black's heads too, maybe precious diamond gold is inside.

Remember the Zimbabwe populace was cheering when Mugabe kicked out the white farmers.
