Zimbabwe is one of the last outposts of tyranny along with Belarus, Burma, Cuba, Iran and Venezuela, not to mention dozens of other Mideastern countries, but I doubt the situation in that African country is going to last long.
While the internal pressure on Mugabe mounts on a daily basis, free world countries including Canada condemn Zimbabwe government.
Canada can play an important role across the African continent especially in Darfur, Zimbabwe and Horn of Africa where Islamic terrorists are regrouping to threaten the peace and stability of the region.

Zimbabwe, the former bread basket of Africa.
I did not have time to read the articles, but I know that the opposition leader was beaten very badly when he went to court.
