The violence in Zimbabwe are getting worse, but positive signs are leaking from the diplomatic work in the region.

Both African Union and Southern African Development Cooperation are pressuring harder that Robert Mugabe should end the violence campaign and respect the outcome of the first election.

African National Congress President Jacob Zuma described the situation in Zimbabwe as ‘out of control’ and called for urgent intervention by the United Nations and the regional SADC grouping.

I´m sure the African nations can solve the problem, just as they did with the violence in Kenya this spring. But the African Union need to be more active, maybe even with a peace keeping force.
