POPSBritish and American diplomats in roadside standoff with Zimbabwe police "McGee climbed onto the hood of the car while his aide snatched the keys from the ignition, then the diplomats used their mobile phone cameras to take photographs of the officer. The confrontation was "a message to us, to try to control what we are doing," said U.S. Embassy spokesman Paul Engelstad, who was among around 50 diplomats and journalists on the tour. Japanese, EU, Dutch and Tanzanian envoys and an Associated Press reporter were also in the convoy. McGee noted the government has denied repeated reports from opposition officials and human rights groups of government-orchestrated violence against the opposition. "The government has said, 'Present us with proof.' I think today we have done just that. "We do have concrete proof of what is happening in the countryside and the government will have to listen," Mr McGee said."

POPSDeadly cargo for Zimbabwe “The level of violence is going to be shocking,” said a senior army officer. “It is going to be a wave that will keep Tsvangirai’s supporters indoors or displaced. It is meant to ensure that only supporters of Mugabe will dare come out in large numbers to vote in the run-off election,” the source added.

POPSKenyan Gangs Use Genital Mutilation as Weapon in Post-Election Violence In Africa politics are governed by ethnicity. We see the beginning of the ethnic struggle for power in South Africa as well. Our current president, Thabo Mbeki, is a Xhosa and the presidential hopeful, Jacob Zuma, is a Zulu.. And they would vote for the devil himself, provided he's of the same tribe. At the end of the day in Africa everything splits down tribal lines. We're in for a big bust-up when Nelson Mandela dies.

POPSSouth Africa's corrupt Government Our government is rotten and putrid with vice and corruption from the head down. Our next president elect, Jacob Zuma, is facing numerous counts of bribery and corruption and yet he has the majority ANC support. He has also been accused of rape. A once affluent country is sliding down to match the rest of Africa. I could scream with frustration and despair.
