Zimbabwe soldiers and police were on the streets of Harare Thursday as authorities came under increasing pressure to release results of the presidential election after a deadly crackdown on protesters. The government blamed the MDC opposition party for inciting the unrest and vowed to enforce a security crackdown. –In official results from the parliamentary election, also held on Monday, ZANU-PF won easily — suggesting Mnangagwa, 75, would be on course to retain the presidency. But the MDC has said it won the elections outright and accused the government and Zimbabwe Election Commission (ZEC) of rigging the count. No amount of results manipulation will alter your will,” he tweeted before the army was deployed on Wednesday.
