Our hope was that, in spite of the extensive violence and intimidation campaign for which the ruling Zanu-PF had by far the greatest responsibility, the people, aided by a large international and national monitoring presence, could cast their votes in a relatively free, fair and non-violent environment on election day.
Vi håbede, at på trods af omfattende vold og skræmmekampagner, som det regerende ZANU-PF havde langt det største ansvar for, så ville befolkningen i tilstedeværelse af et stort internationalt og nationalt overvågningsapparat kunne afgive deres stemmer i en relativt fri, retfærdig og ikke-voldelig atmosfære på valgdagen.
