Zimbabwe Zimbabwe hamstrung by uncertainty over Mugabe's successor
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe turned 92 this month and this weekend
he will be celebrating with a lavish party. The issue of who should
succeed him one day remains a taboo subject as the country stagnates.

election, all of the city's squares are equally plastered with messages
from the candidates.
