In recent weeks, the country of Zimbabwe has been grabbing the headlines yet again. An historic power-sharing deal has been implemented between the current President, Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, leader of the opposition party. In this follow-up session to our Fall 2008 Global Election Watch series, we will again be joined by the National Director of the Zimbabwe Election Support Network (from Zimbabwe), Rindai Chipfunde-Vava, to discuss the implications of the newly brokered power share and what that means for the future of democracy in Zimbabwe, as well as its beleaguered economy – one of the worst in the world, with an hourly-changing inflation rate of an unfathomable 231,000,000%.
