Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said yesterday the country could only hold elections next year, contrary to President Robert Mugabe’s call for an earlier vote, notes a Mail & Guardian Online report.
‘In 12 months we can have an election in this country,’ Tsvangirai told delegates for his Movement for Democratic for Change (MDC) party congress in Bulawayo. ‘Let it be free and let it be peaceful. We want polls whose outcome will not be contested,’ he said. Tsvangirai had earlier said that elections proposed for this year would not be possible before the drafting of a new constitution was completed. Mugabe, his partner in the shaky unity government, had called for elections this year to end the power-sharing rule formed in 2008 after a disputed presidential vote marred by violence.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) employs a ‘double-standard’ by ‘exclusively’ targeting African leaders, a top African Union official said yesterday, according to a Mail & Guardian Online report.
‘We’ve been complaining … about the double standard,’ AU commission president Jean Ping said, referring to the court in The Hague, which prosecutes individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. When it comes to prosecuting suspects for war crimes, human rights violations and other atrocities at the ICC, the ‘people who are targeted there, all of them, are exclusively Africans,’ he said. The AU official complained that there are currently about 30 Africans facing trial in the international justice system. Find more information…

The rules and regulations that were reviewed cover everything from greenhouse gas emissions and oil and gas development to agriculture, health care and construction.
Martinez spokesman Scott Darnell says the governor will review the recommendations and work with her cabinet, the Legislature and others to “ensure that sensible actions are taken to make New Mexico more business friendly.”
Environmentalists and other critics aren’t surprised by the recommendations.
