Despite all parties having written a plea to their supporters to withhold violence if a dispute in the election occurs, Zimbabweans are experiencing torture, harassment, and worse from Zanu PF soldiers who are cracking down on MDC supporters. And as things get worse there is a ship trying to port on the continent so as to deliver 77 tons of weapons to Zimbabwe.  Luckily South Africa would not unload the ship and it is now headed for Mozambique where it hopes so find leniency.  The shipment is from China who has reportedly had a trade agreement with Zimbabwe for some time in return for the rights to various mines in the country.  This may all sound normal if the shipment wasn't ordered merely 3 days after the close of the election.

Many people are already fleeing the countryside where Mugabe's men are known to target and finding sanctuary in the larger cities.  Harare has become a refuge for thousands while Mutare has Chinese troops openly patrolling with other Zanu PF.
