Mugabe
- release the results!
Zimbabwe is on a knife's
edge between democracy and chaos. Results still have not been released
from the 29 March elections--and fears are rising that Mugabe will
resort to violence and fraud to hold on to power. South African
president Thabo Mbeki said today that "it's time to wait"--but
time has run out.
Observers, NGOs, and
the opposition have appealed for international support. To respond,
we're launching a new campaign to all Avaaz members throughout Africa.
Click below to add your name to a petition calling for the results
to be released, verified, and peacefully honored. We will send the
petition to Mugabe's government, and to leaders and media organizations
throughout Southern Africa and the world:

Every day brings new
developments, and the more time passes, the greater the danger grows
that the will of Zimbabwe's people will be ignored. The faster we
can grow this petition, the more powerfully we can show that the
people of Africa and the world are looking to Mugabe to honour the
choice of Zimbabweans.
In a crisis like this,
a petition is just a small step--but it's something all of us can
do, to raise our voices and call for what's right. And as history
shows, international solidarity can be a powerful thing.
With hope,
Ben, Graziela,
Ricken, Galit, Paul, Iain, Pascal, Milena, and Esra'a--the Avaaz.org
team
PS: A year ago,
in one of the first Avaaz campaigns, we called together for Mugabe
and his government to end their brutal attacks on opposition leaders.
More than 45,000 people around the world took part. Now, there's
a hope for much more substantial change--a new hope for the 12 million
Zimbabweans struggling with hyperinflation, starvation, and HIV/AIDS.
Please do sign the petition, and encourage your friends and family
to do so too--they can also sign at:
