Mugabe likely to dig in

The increasing likelihood, and growing threats, that many in the Mugabe regime may be candidates for war crimes may actually make it more difficult to remove them from power.  The less likely it is that Mugabe and his cronies can walk away without ending up dead or in prison, the more likely it is they’ll cling to power with the consequent increase in brutality.     

Regrettably, a resolution to the situation in Zimbabwe seems further away than it did than it did before the last round of elections.
