Violence in Zimbabwe Increasing

I've been following the news of Zimbabwe's recent elections. President Mugabe is still fighting to hold onto power. The presidential election results have still not been released, although he is already making demands for a recount, claiming that votes for him were tampered with. Several election officials have been arrested by police under suspicion of tampering with election results in the opposition's favour, according to the ruling party (more). There have been attacks on white-owned farms as well (more).

Another interesting source of news is The Zimbabwe Situation which has batches of news articles from various sources.

Stay tuned - I'm not getting a very good feeling about how things are going to develop over the coming days and weeks. Please send Zimbabwe your prayers and hopes of peace.

(edited to fix bad link - sorry, I don't know what happened there!)
