Breaking News: Zimbabwe Election may be over, soon.

BBC News is reporting that the election in Zimbabwe maybe over very soon. The US Embassy has confirmed that American, French and British Ambassadors in Harare have been summoned for a meeting, and there have been many reports throughout the day about possible talks going on between Zanu PF and the MDC, with South Africa thought to be involved as a mediator, although there have been flat out denials of this by some of the parties said to be involved.

All this information comes with the usual warnings, that because there is no independent media in Zimbabwe, and no foreign news agencies are allowed to report from there, there is no independent verification of these reports.

The US Embassy is also saying that President Mugabe is due to give a broadcast sometime between 1900 and 1930 GMT. As I write this, it is currrently 1823 GMT.

This could be a very interesting evening. We'll keep a close eye on this one, and keep you updated.
