It looks like Mugabe may have lost the election, despite his attempts at rigging (one of which was getting dead people to vote for him!). The MDC (Movement for Democratic Change) is claiming a victory. Of course, this doesn't really matter - the official, government vote count often mysteriously changes the results, and the head of the army announced just before the election that he will support Mugabe (oh yeah? You and what army? Oh ...). If Mugabe does lose, by some chance, I can't see any outcome but another war. And while I don't want a war, we need to get rid of Mugabe somehow. If by some chance he does lose and (miraculously) steps down without a fight, I will have a party so big that the police will have to shut it down.
If you're interested in finding out more about the situation, check out ZWNEWS. They have a good mix of articles, and they include some from Harare's government-run newspaper, The Herald, which is always pretty entertaining.
