This deal's a humilation

Good. Now shave off that ridiculous moustache.

I can't help thinking that if the MDC had sorted themselves out internally instead of splintering and splitting their vote, life in Zimbabwe would be a tiny bit more tolerable than with Mugabe floating around, the odious little tt.

Never underestimate the ability of African politicians to f@ck up royally.

The main problem surrounding this agreement is the fact that, as president, Mugabe is still in control of the army, so Tsvangerai has to spend his time treading on eggshells so far as dealing with Mugabe goes, as all it would take would be a single order from Mugabe to remove the veneer of democracy and turn the whole country back into a military dictatorship again. Giving Tsvangerai control of the police is a pathetic token gesture when the potential opposition has vastly superior firepower.

Engaging China in arms export reduction talks would be more effective, but right now in China if it makes money, it happens.
