Not sure if anyone has been paying attention to whats been going on over there but it doesn\'t look like its going to turn out too nicely.

Cliffs for those who haven\'t followed:  The MDC (movement for democratic change) leader won the majority vote but the current president who says he didn\'t win 50%, the supreme court won\'t release the election results and the president demanded a recount.  In the mean time, he\'s already calling for a run-off election and many of the opposition are allegedly being harassed and arrest before the run-off even begins.

It\'s tribes vs tribes again.

The idea of "country" must be something alien to a lot of these people.

We actually just went over this in my nationalism class the other day. The thing about Africa is people don\'t identify as a nation for a common cause but decided to keep the colonial boundaries. Now, they have states with no nation so all these groups of people are fighting for power when they only want power instead of what\'s best for the collective. There\'s also tribalism (obviously) and theres also religious ideology such as Muslims vs. Christians or whatever. I\'ve seriously always believed that they needed to redraw the boundaries in line with the tribes and ethnic groups.

Any country that starts with the letter Z deserves to be bombed back to to hell...or slavery.
