Zimbabwe Update

Well, it looks like Mugabe's party has lost control of the Parliament, which was always a stronghold. The race for the presidency is close. There were three candidates, and if no one gets more than 50% of the vote, it will go to a runoff with the top two vote-getters. The leading opposition candidate's party has said their count of the tally gives their man, Tsvangirai, 50.3%. The government has not released the official results. Word was that yesterday there were official conversations about Mugabe stepping down, but they haven't gone any farther. Keep praying. For more info, here's the NY Times article.
