The Guardian (UK) reports on a film which shows supporters of Robert Mugabe rigging the recent election:  

A film that graphically shows how Robert Mugabe's supporters rigged Zimbabwe's election has been smuggled out of the country by a prison officer. It is believed to be the first footage of actual ballot-rigging and comes as Zimbabwe's president faces growing international pressure.

Shepherd Yuda, 36, fled the country this week with his wife and children. He said that he hoped the film, which was made for the Guardian, would help draw further attention to the violence and corruption in Zimbabwe.

Mugabe is saying he will not talk to the opposition unless and until they agree that he is legitimately the president.  This video is just the latest evidence that this election was anything but clean, fair, and transparent.  

What does the future hold for Zimbabwe?  It is clear that Robert Mugabe will not easily or soon relinquish his grip on power.
