Zimwatch: Closing the presses

One question that really bothered me about Mugabe was why this mad despot still let opposition papers publish. It's not an apologist's point (the regime is unpleasant), it is simple incredulity. The Zim situation is more complex than we imagine.

Well, he's closed down the Daily News. If you want to know more then their forum is online, which is where Zimwatching can be done far more effectively than here.
