Mugabe to quit so long as there's no prosecution!

Cheeky bugger! So he admits it. He's done wrong. Well, if that's the price to pay so be it. Far better to be rid of a tyrant than continuing the mayhem. Maybe he will have a Road to Damascus dream in the night. Somehow I think not. But for those of us believing in the Final Judgement, Mugabe's got a long list for the angels to sit through.

The Guardian reports that Robert Mugabe's aides have told Zimbabwe's opposition leaders that he is prepared to give up power in return for guarantees, including immunity from prosecution for past crimes. Crimes, eh? Fancy bargaining like that!

Now Zimbabwe can start its road to recovery. Mugabe can be forgotten about. Easy for me to say, but it's best no recriminations. Morgan Tsvangirai will want to create a stable government, so I would hope he doesn't purge the army, cleanse the civil service, etc. Just let them remember they got wrapped up with a toe-rag, a very eloquent, persuasive one at that!
