[New-imc] Zimbabwe IMC stalled

[M R]

The elections in Zimbabwe are pretty scary right now
with the opposition party charged with alleged treason
and attempted assassination of the president.  And for
their new media laws which will criminalize 'false or
inaccurate reporting'.  Getting this IMC going of
course is very important, for the Zimbabwe community
and for those of us in the rest of the world.

Do you have access to post materials on the global
site for now?  Or possibly on the nearby South Africa
IMC?  You could also take posted stories and combine 
them into a PDF file, so all your stories are
collected in one place.  Those can also be easily
printed for offline distribution.

There's a lot of craziness going on in this election &
I'd hate to see IMC coverage missed for technical
problems.
