[img]http://imgkk.com/i/izxi.jpg[/img] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-23563029[/url] [quote]Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has won a seventh term in office, officials say, amid claims of electoral fraud. Mr Mugabe, 89, won 61% of the vote, against Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's 34%. Mr Tsvangirai earlier said the elections for parliament and president were fraudulent and promised to take legal action. He said his Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) would no longer work with Mr Mugabe's Zanu-PF party.[/quote]

[QUOTE='[sluggo];41700905']That guy does not look 89[/QUOTE] He literally hides it well, he used a photo of himself from the early 80's as his portrait on his election posters.

mugabe is one of the very very very few people on the earth i would like to see assassinated he has done almost nothing good for his people or his country. you can't even blame his actions on poor leadership when his militia buries his opposition's wife alive with a petrol bomb after chopping off her hands and feet. he is one of the most disgusting people currently alive.

Why won't this old fuck die already?

Also, expect the opposition leader to mysteriously be found decapitated and mutilated in a few weeks.

I'm gonna say that [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1294654&p=41650771&viewfull=1#post41650771"]I called it[/URL], but also that it was obvious, so I'm not some sort of genius. :v:

Wait, so you're telling me that the poorest country in the world might have some sort of government corruption going on? That's impossible! :downs:

[QUOTE=draugur;41701426]Wait, so you're telling me that the poorest country in the world might have some sort of government corruption going on? That's impossible! :downs:[/QUOTE] His election was the self-imposed suicide of a nation. Every election that followed is another shot in the corpse.

After the last election they rewrote the constitution and the changes were meant to prevent this stuff. Unlike the similar process in Kenya, this one seems to have been a failure. The President does have a two-term limit now though

Hopefully he can at least solve the Goblin problem.
