Zimbabwe is now under military rule- says former home affairs minister Mon. May 12, 2008 02:46 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. - (SomaliNet) Ex- Zimbabwean home affairs minister Dumiso Dabengwa, who was a top guerrilla during the 1970s liberation war, said the Zimbabwe was now under military rule. Dabengwa’s statement came as Zimbabwe's main opposition group stepped up efforts to secure regional peacekeepers for a run-off presidential election against Robert Mugabe, a spokesperson said on Sunday. Meanwhile, the presidential run-off, pitting Mugabe against opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, would not be held in the next few weeks as required by law, the head of the electoral commission said in an interview published on Sunday. Tsvangirai announced at the weekend that he would participate in a run-off against Mugabe - but insisted that, legally, the vote should be held within 21 days of the May 2 announcement of results from the first vote. Electoral commission chief George Chiweshe confirmed this requirement of the electoral laws but said government officials needed more time to prepare for the run-off.-The Mercury News Category: Africa Latest Headlines Latest News Somalia: WFP welcomes Canada naval escort in Somali...
