And in the least surprising news ever, Robert Mugabe proves not to be gracious in victory. He has announced his new government, and the opposition MDC, which has been part of an uncomfortable coalition for the last five years, finds itself on the outside looking in. Mugabe completely shut them out. I suppose no one should have expected even a few token appointees in superfluous posts. Still, a feint toward modest rapprochement would not have killed ZANU-PF.
