Zimwatch: Almost official

Not much to report apart from on Wednesday the MDC leader has said that "the war against the people announced by Mr Mugabe has now been fully declared".

If you have a taste for crises that the press seems to overlook, you could always savour this titbit:

The Eritrean Government has called on the international community to put pressure on Ethiopia to abide by the ruling of the independent commission deciding where the border between the two countries lies.

If you think that's a small thing, remember it was the largest conventional war going a couple of years ago.
