Outrage in Zimbabwe as Mugabe demands election recount
President Robert Mugabe’s ruling party demanded a vote recount, and a further delay in the release of results from Zimbabwe’s presidential election today, prompting outrage from the opposition party.
Meanwhile, militant supporters of the ruling party invaded eight of the few remaining white-owned commercial farms, driving at least four cattle ranchers off their land and seizing equipment and livestock, the farmers reported - another sign Mr Mugabe plans to use violence to stay in power.
