Western Observers Barred from Monitoring Zimbabwe's Elections
Zimbabwe has issued invitations to more than 40 countries and organizations to observe its national elections, on March 29. But Peta Thornycroft reports for VOA that Western countries, which observed Zimbabwe's elections eight years ago, have not been invited this time. Zimbabwe's foreign minister Simbarashe Mumbengegwi has invited countries which he said are allies. Meaning they're like peas in similar pods. The only European country invited to send observers is Russia. The European Union and the United States, regularly accused by President Robert Mugabe of plotting regime change, have not been invited.
