Zimbabwe opposition’s grim warning

Apr. 8 – The opposition in Zimbabwe has called on African states to intervene to prevent widespread bloodshed in the country.

MDC Secretary General Tendai Biti said the ruling ZANU-PF had launched a violent campaign against opposition supporters following a stalemate over March 29 elections.

MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai says he won the presidential vote and should be declared president immediately, ending the 28-year rule of Robert Mugabe, whose critics accuse him of reducing a once prosperous nation to misery.
