Secret film reveals how Mugabe stole an election

A film that graphically shows how Robert Mugabe's supporters rigged Zimbabwe's election has been smuggled out of the country by a prison officer. It is believed to be the first footage of actual ballot-rigging and comes as Zimbabwe's president faces growing international pressure.

Shepherd Yuda, 36, fled the country this week with his wife and children. He said that he hoped the film, which was made for the Guardian, would help draw further attention to the violence and corruption in Zimbabwe.

As someone who lived in that region. It makes me sad to see who keeps on happening there.

However am I totally not surprised that there is complete inability and unwillingness of behalf both the African and International community to actually do anything about it.

Remember Rwanda. Same shit. Different deal.

I would completely agree, who are we, some imperialist government from the other side of the world to intervene. Wouldn't the responsibility fall more on the governments of the region. Any helping hand that we reach out would be met with hate and killing.

Your comment is exactly why the war in Iraq is a fucking tragedy, because when actual need to intervention now arises the ghost of the clusterfuck that is Iraq and Afghanistan is going to manifest.

UN Peace keeping forces. Kosovo.

But then again those were kinda like white people I guess.

And to think CNN spends all day trying to find something worth airing. This is the kind of real journalism that will make the big media hacks as irrelevant as they deserve to be.
