Voice of America Military Intervention Not Likely in Zimbabwe Christopher Alden, an expert on international relations with the London School of Economics, agrees that military intervention is not likely any time soon. Alden adds that if conditions in Zimbabwe do worsen, military action will only happen with the blessing of Africa's leaders. ‘The UN will take its lead from the African Union which is meeting. If the African leaders see this crisis as they did with Darfur, if they see it as an equivalent kind of crisis that it's reached that stage, they will give the green light that will enable the UN to step in. So I think a lot of the pressure is really on the African leadership which up until now has been privately critical but publicly largely supportive of Mugabe,’ said Alden. http://www.voanews.com/english/2008-07-01-voa42.cfm
