I think that well known black people in the world should go to Zimbabwe and be unofficial election observers. Let them travel around and be tourists whilst they are there.

Let's see Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Oprah Winfrey, Barak Obama, Tiger Woods(he's taking a break from golfing), Thomas Sowell, archbishop of York in England. There must be a pile of black British soccer players who are not playing in the European Cup.

Add to the list.

Mugabe challenger 'may quit poll'

Zimbabwe's opposition MDC will announce on Monday whether the party will withdraw from the 27 June presidential run-off, a party source told the BBC.

MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai is said to be under pressure to pull out in view of escalating poll-related violence.

The withdrawal threat may be aimed at pressuring other countries to demand a fair vote, a BBC correspondent says.

Angola's leader, one of President Robert Mugabe's closest allies, has urged him to stop the violence.

President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos advised Mr Mugabe to "observe the spirit of tolerance, respect for difference and cease all forms of intimidation and political violence"...
