I’m sorry to be pessimistic, but I don’t think that things in Zimbabwe will improve for a few more years (2010, anyone?)

My own belief is that Sally Mugabe [Editor: Grace Mugabe?] is desperate for him to remain in power until one of his sons can assume the throne.

Even if he doesn’t manage to do this, Zimbabwe will probably be taken over by the Army, probably with Soloman Mjuru in charge. I believe that Perence Shiri is also lining himself up for the top job.

In any case, Zimbabweans have hitherto displayed very little appetite for any sort of fight, preferring to hope that large numbers will hit the streets while they themselves keep their heads down at home.

Up until now any demonstrations have pitched a few brave souls against overwhelming numbers of riot police who have taken great pleasure in punishing them.

I agree with you. I have an article similar in thoughts to yours comparing both Zimbabwe and Guinea stating that Zimbabweans are at a point of no return. It is already too late for Mugabe. I don't think he can do anything right now that will be judged nicely. Check it out Mugabe running on empty
