"They are trying to force us, and they are not sophisticated enough to hide," Elton Mangoma, Member of the cabinet and M.D.C. leader who helped negotiate the troubled power-sharing agreement, said between two recent stays in prison.
The last arrest of the adversary came Friday, despite warnings from neighbours of the Zimbabwe that these detentions must stop. The police accused Moses Mzila Ndlovu, co-Minister for healing national, participation in a meeting without their permission. It is a Memorial prayer service for the thousands of the minority Ndebele civilians killed in the first years of the rule of 31 years of Mr Mugabe.

There are now two new newspapers aggressive to the Zimbabwe challenging version of the State of reality and as a rages of battle ill-concealed in the Party of Mr. Mugabe to succeed, the ZANU-PF officials are manoeuvres to advance their own interests.
"Now that it is clearly older, different factions are mobile, said Dewa Mavhinga, regional coordinator for the crisis in the Zimbabwe Coalition, an alliance of more 300 civic groups." It is clear, it must be thought out there post-Mugabe, more so within his own party. ?

Threatening accumulation for the vote appears to be a replay of the violence, electoral fraud which have hit the Zimbabwe for a decade. But the calls by officials of the ZANU-PF for the arrest of the leader of the M.D.C., Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, seem to have galvanized the President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma - the Ombudsman in the political crisis in the Zimbabwe - ask for end to political arrests and violence.
