Zimbabwe Update

Well, it's been a while since I've posted on the subject.

The macro picture is that Mugabe continues to refuse to behave in accordance with any of the agreements that he signed, and Tsvangerai can't do much about it, and the SADC in general, and South Africa in particular, won't do much about it.

It's kind of a dysfunctional stasis.

That being said, the trial of Roy Bennett, the MDC treasurer and nominee for deputy agriculture minister, the government's star witness has said on the stand that his earlier testimony was coerced by torture.

The judge has ruled that eter Michael Hitschmann's confession cannot be used against Bennett because of this.
