#1 Want to get rid of opposition, put them on trial for treason. This is one of the oldest ways of eliminating a political rival. This trial will end in disaster for Zimbabwe.

#2 This trial will end in disaster for Zimbabwe.
I don't think anyone with two brain cells firing in sequence can doubt the outcome of this trial. As for disaster, I'm not sure Zimbabwe could go much lower on the "crap" scale, short of a major earthquake, a fire covering half the nation, or a strike by a large meteorite. At the same time, any of those three disasters would also spell the end of Mugabe and the ruling Zanu PF party, so it may not be a total loss.
