When will Mugabe lose power?

Report: Mugabe privately concedes defeat

I am sticking with July-December 2008 This miserable scumbag is 84 years old. The median lifespan
in Zimbabwe is under 40 years. He would be hard to buy life insurance for in a Western country.

Look this is already a question! In fact its a question i made!

@ dragonfangxl -- yup :-| This question was one of the first questions posted at the beginning of Hubdub (January 11, 2008) ... a lot of things have changed since then -- except, maybe that Mugabe is still around :-(

Your question, while similar, is different -- in that it is concerned with Morgan Tsvangirai. No doubt HD users who like this question will also want to make predictions on yours!

"Will Zimbabwe run a new election this year with Morgan Tsvangirai?"

Hi. It's Patrick (patrick@hubdub.com), the new World Category Editor as of Aug. 1, 2008.

This question is fine. I agree with everything newswrangler says in comment #4.

Both questions are fine, because they do not entirely duplicate each other. For instance, a new election could occur, but Mugabe could stay. Or Mugabe could lose power without any Tsvangirai-involved election. Similar, but not the same.

this new market value thing sucks. i have questions like this one that have gone up %20 since i bet on them which i cant cash out of for as much as i payed! WTF? how am i gonna make mone if i have o actually guess correctly and not just anticipate the swing?

@duckie This is an old question from the start of the year. It has the old Market Scoring Rule, which jumps around a lot, and also makes cashing-in predictions expensive, especially if they are worth a lot. That's why newer markets have a different MSR. But when the new MSR came in, older markets didn't change over.

I see.

--- Mugabe hints at Cabinet without opposition ---

President Robert Mugabe hinted he may form a Cabinet without the opposition and call for early elections in Zimbabwe to resolve the impasse over a stalled power-sharing deal.

"If we call for elections, you must be prepared," Mugabe told members of his ruling ZANU-PF party during an appearance on state television late Thursday.

President Obama leads US drive to topple Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/africa/article5600659.ece
President Obama wants a fresh approach to toppling Robert Mugabe and is discussing with aides an unprecedented, US-led diplomatic push to get tough new UN sanctions imposed against the Zimbabwe regime, The Times has learned.

During talks Mr Obama has had with his top Africa advisers in recent weeks, the central idea they focused on was taking the issue of Zimbabwe before the UN Security Council, but for the first time to combine such a move with an intense diplomatic effort to persuade Russia and China not to block the initiative.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh? :)
