(WMR) -- WMR has learned from a source within Zimbabwe’s opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), that Zimbabwe’s authoritarian president, Robert Mugabe, is being propped up with the help of two unlikely bedfellows: Israel and Libya.

A knowledgeable MDC source told WMR on background that the opposition has evidence that Israel’s Mossad helped rig Zimbabwe’s presidential and parliamentary elections to forestall a decisive victory for the MDC. Mugabe has violated a power-sharing agreement with the opposition that was agreed upon after the opposition won a majority of seats in the parliament.

On April 28, 2008, WMR reported on Israel’s assistance to Mugabe. WMR reported: “Mugabe’s relations with Israel have grown close even though Mugabe has favorably compared himself to Adolf Hitler and has been a strong supporter of the Palestinians.
