What do we know (unclassified) about the Zimbabwean military?
I know they have British Hawk trainers.
Jane's would be a place to start. Zimbabwe did field a force into Zaire/Congo/Central Africa but it cost them. They don't have the same friends or money they used to.

Nah, uncless UK and US decide to move in w/o UN permission(Iraq blink blink:))), China won't let it happen.
move in for what reason? whats happening there is of concern but the international community can only morally support the people of Zim but not militarily intervene. Its an internal problem of Zimbabwe which only their people can resolve. Look what happened in Nepal. Now its a democratic republic.

Thanks for agreeing with me, but tell that to British...
Indeed others could and should for the sake of humanity, freedom and justice.
But in the forefront the countries that have direct interest would be the vanguard.
It was a good thing that the Opposition did not participate. They would have lost in a fixed election. Now, the Opposition has a moral victory and Mugabwe has been turned into a joker of the pack.
The world opinion should take a serious turn now at least.
Mbeki has been a wimp and a damn squib in this macabre drama. He is equally culpable.
"Some have learnt many Tricks of sly Evasion, Instead of Truth they use Equivocation, And eke it out with mental Reservation, Which is to good Men an Abomination."
I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.
Mbeki probably hoping that Mugabe will somehow go away on his one, much the same way Beijing and New Delhi regard the butchers of Burma. That, and he does have a lot of domestic problems to worry about.

i was going to bring that up soon !
why Zimbabwe and why not Burma i mean the people in Burma have been suffering long enough .
i think any invasion shall face a major insurgent problem Africa has a bad history of tribal militias and i think any invasion shall be confronted by a full fledged militia of Mugabe's tribesmen.

Mugabe will be brought down the same way he came in. Internal forces rebelling against a suppressive government, supported from neighboring countries along with worldwide condemnation and embargo.
