The Ballot Can Not Replace The Bullet In Zimbabwe by Orato

President Robert Mugabe forged ahead last week and staged his one-man election in which he declared himself winner over MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai. Tsvangirai pulled out of the presidential race a week before the run-off, stating he could no “longer continue with the fight for the presidential seat as I risk becoming a president of dead bodies.” He said he had so much respect for human sanctity and life that he could not continue sacrificing the lives of Zimbabweans so as to achieve political office. Other African leaders are now calling for the African Union to suspend Mugabe and bring in peace forces to ensure a fair election.

This slideshow bears true testimony of what had befallen Zimbabweans in the run-up to the elections held on Friday. Warning: Very Graphic Images
