...country. "For too long, Zimbabwe has endured violent political polarization," he told a rally of thousands in the Zimbabwean capital of Harare. "This must end today. We can no longer afford the violence of brother on brother. Let's put our differences aside. Everyone is hungry. We have to heal our nation by forgiving our brother." Tsvangirai acknowledged that working with Mugabe would be difficult; he could forgive but not forget, he said, "because tomorrow it might happen again."

Across Asia, citizens are beginning to ask who will serve as their nations' Obamas, change agents who vow to reach across party lines and heal divided societies. One Asian, it turns out, has already assumed the role. Just before the American election, on a string of islands and coral atolls in the Indian Ocean, another far less heralded poll took place.
