Zimbabwe Government Deploys Security Forces Amid Rumors of Egyptian-Style Revolt.

Stories from the troubled Zimbabwe suggest that the Zimbabwe government is paying a closer attention to the revolution sweeping across North Africa and Middleast.

In response to an anonymous Facebook page called “Zimbabwe Million Citizen March” (which called for a day of rage against President Robert Mugabe’s tyrannical rule), the government went all the way out with heavy presence of military and police in Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare today.

Could this also suggest panic on the side of the regime?
