Zimbabwea Election will be stolen again

The U.S. ambassador in Zimbabwe fears the troubled southern African nation will face another stolen election this year because the ruling party appears to have no desire to allow a free and fair vote.
Ambassador David Bruce Wharton cited the presence of government troops across the country and a campaign of intimidation against civil rights advocates by the ZAN U - PF and its ring leader Robert Mugabe.

“We are concerned by the deployment of Zimbabwe Defense Forces throughout the country on nominal ‘administrative service’ duty who may seek to influence how community will vote,” “We are also concerned that elements of the state have commenced with a concerted campaign to intimidate civil society and that the state-run media and various other state institutions show a consistent pattern of bias in favor of one particular party.” he told a Zimbawean newspaper recently.
