...past, Mugabe has found support and empathy from neighboring states in the SADC. Many southern African leaders, such as South African President Thabo Mbeki, are his peers in the African liberation movement. Others, such as Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos, have ruled just as undemocratically, and for just as long. In interview, Tsvangirai told TIME that his talks with SADC leaders had suggested Mugabe's support was evaporating. "Everyone realizes he is a cheat," he said...

...Machado's election technically makes him the No. 2 man in Cuba's government, but many in and outside of Cuba were left wondering whether Raul isn't, in fact, the real numero dos - to Fidel, who resigned as President last week but could continue to pull the strings until, as he hinted in his resignation letter, "my last breath." In his inaugural speech, Raul did emphasize that his priority would be to make Cuba's sclerotic system more efficient and open in order to "satisfy the basic needs of our population, both material and spiritual, starting with a sustained...
