#1 Well hopefully it is the "beginning of the end" for Mugs - but oh my, what Morgan and the other MDC Supporters have endured in the last week, leaves a lot to be desired - it is just so depressing.
But then Mugs goes on and does the following:-

Mugabe threatens to expel envoys BBC

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has threatened to expel Western diplomats
whom he accuses of supporting the political opposition.
The veteran leader said diplomats who wanted to represent their countries
had to "behave properly" or they would be thrown out.

His government has faced criticism after opposition activists who tried to
stage a rally in Harare were beaten.

But the authorities say opposition protesters caused the violence.

Earlier in the day, the bruised and bandaged opposition leader, Morgan
Tsvangirai, left hospital in a wheelchair.

His colleagues say he was beaten in police custody after his arrest at the
rally. Four of his colleagues remain in hospital.

UK Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett has said she holds Mr Mugabe
personally responsible for Mr Tsvangirai's injuries, and the US has said it
is considering extending its sanctions on Zimbabwean officials.

But Mr Mugabe has rejected the criticism and used a meeting with members of
his ruling party's youth wing to hit out at diplomats.

"We will kick them out of this country," the French news agency AFP quoted
him as saying.

"I have asked the minister of foreign affairs to summon them and read the
riot act to them," he said.

"We shall tell the ambassadors that this is not a country which is a piece
of Europe."

May God Bless one and all in Zimbabwe.
