Militias to ‘rape’ Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe's "war veterans" militia plan to intimidate voters by posing as police officers during the presidential run-off.

He said they would be based inside polling stations during the vote, whose date has not yet been fixed. The report came as South Africa's President Thabo Mbeki, the lead Zimbabwe negotiator, prepared to hold talks with Robert Mugabe in Harare.

Mr. Mbeki has previously played down talk of a crisis in Zimbabwe. The opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) says its supporters are being systematically targeted by the "war veterans" and other supporters of President Mugabe ahead of the run-off.

Mugabe is using everything to stay in power but now he is against the world!
