Some tentative good news from Zimbabwe (largely because all good news from Zim has to be seen as tentative until we see how reality plays out). The new Zimbabwe Media Commission has announced that four new papers have been granted licenses to begin publishing. Media became a victim of Robert Mugabe’s increasingly draconian crackdown. Hopefully it will be a factor in the country’s recovery, which for the time being will have to happen in spite of Mugabe.
