Title   Zimbabwe at the crossroads: transition or conflict?
Author International Crisis Group
Edition PDF ed.
Published Brussels; Harare: ICG
Year 2002-03-22
Pages 33
Serial Africa report; nr.41
Abstract Despite broad international condemnation and the desire among the people of Zimbabwe for change, the ZANU-PF government succeeded in systematically manipulating the March 2002 elections to ensure another six-year term for President Robert Mugabe. The strategic use of state violence and extra-legal electoral tinkering authorised by President Mugabe effectively thwarted the will of the people from being heard. The implications of the election, however, reverberate far beyond Zimbabwe. Good governance and African peer pressure, two of the key planks of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) will be undermined if Africa's response to Zimbabwe's stolen election is half-hearted.
