It looks like Robert Mugabe, long time dictator of Zimbabwe may step down according to the New York Times. It seems that the election results were so heavily in favor of the opposition candidate Morgan Tsvangirai that even Mugabe's practiced vote riggers could not credibly claim that Mugabe had won.
This is very exciting news for the people of Zimbabwe, who have suffered under one of the most economically ruinous regimes on the planet. According to the article, the negotiations are not between Mugabe and his opponent, but prominent Mugabe supporters. It looks like they have seen the writing on the wall, and may be promising to sell him out in return for their own protection from reprisal.
