Well, it looks like things are going to get worse, Zimbabwe police raided MDC, and the independent electoral observer, offices in Harrare, looking for evidence of an “attempt to overthrow the country”.

This does not look like it will end well.

Hopefully the talk of immunity for Mugabe in exchange for stepping down, talk in which Mugabe has taken no part, will amount to something.

This has been on a gentle slope down for weeks, but I think that there is a cliff up ahead.
