#2 why bother, flush now

Because the opposition neither has the firepower nor the political clout - right now?

Mugabe and his sycophants see the possible endgame; Mugabe can't last forever. ZANU-PF is hanging out the army, the secret service, and the police to dry over the pre-election killings. The military, secret service and police don't want to end up dangling from a lampost.

Every one that defects is one less that supports the current government or will put up resistance. It's called 'peeling away' and was also done in Iraq.

#3 Some of President Robert Mugabe's senior aides have had secret negotiations with South African mediators

If I were a "Mugabe senior aide," I'd want to make certain my personal affairs were in order about now.

#4 Agreed. Nothing ruins your day quicker than getting machine-gunned on a riverbank, when your original intent was to head for the airport with suitcases of dollars.
