The capital city Harare in Zimbabwe is experiencing world’s one of the worst mass intimidation ever in the name of election. Widespread voter intimidation and low turnout marked Zimbabwe's one-candidate presidential runoff Friday, further damaging the vote designed to bolster longtime President Robert Mugabe's credibility.

Common people in Zimbabwe are forced to vote, threatened by violence, arson or roving bands of government supporters searching for those without an ink-stained finger.

Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, who withdrew from the runoff citing a campaign of state-sponsored violence, said the results would "reflect only the fear of the people."

"What is happening today is not an election. It is an exercise in mass intimidation," he said at a news conference.

It is similar to what Musharraf did in Pakistan. Musharraf got away with it because of the Military and West’s support. For Mugabe things can be different. The end game of Mugabe may be closer than any one can think.
