Zimbabwe activists' bodies found
Source: BBC News

The bodies of four opposition activists have been found near the Zimbabwe capital, after being abducted, the Movement for Democratic Change says.

An MDC spokesman accused supporters of President Robert Mugabe of being behind the deaths, ahead of next week's poll.

The body of Harare's recently elected opposition mayor's wife has also reportedly been found, badly burnt.

International leaders have condemned the violence but Mr Mugabe's allies have denied any responsibility.

4. Mugabe needs to be taken out
I lay some of the blame on African leaders who bailed this SOB over and over again. :grr:

Bob Marley is surely rolling in his grave, he and the Wailers performed at Zimbabwe's independence ceremony in 1980 (the song "Zimbabwe" is one of my fav). x(

"Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny,
And in this judgement there is no partiality.
So arm in arms, with arms, we'll fight this little struggle,
'Cause that's the only way we can overcome our little trouble.

Brother, you're right, you're right,
You're right, you're right, you're so right!
We gon' fight (we gon' fight), we'll have to fight (we gon' fight),
We gonna fight (we gon' fight), fight for our rights!"

The first line is just CLASS!

5. We Amerikan Subjects still have someone we can feel superior to.
"We're still not as bad as Zimbabwe."

Yee-hah.
