[0:00] No jobs. We visited a restaurant with

[0:03] nothing to serve despite the grandiose

[0:06] menu on the wall.

[0:07] >> How old is this?

[0:10] >> Now I think

[0:13] 15 15 years.

[0:14] >> 15 years.

[0:15] >> Yeah. 15 years.

[0:17] >> So that food hasn't been served here in

[0:18] a long time.

[0:19] >> A long time.

[0:21] >> This is one of the main east west

[0:22] highways in the country and there's not

[0:24] a single car on it. There's not even

[0:26] people walking by the side of the road.

[0:28] Part of the reason is people don't have

[0:30] the money to buy gasoline to drive their

[0:32] cars. But it's also a measure of the

[0:34] fear the crackdown has driven people

[0:37] into their homes.

[0:39] They have good reason. Government thugs

[0:41] are now hunting down Zimbabweans who

[0:44] can't prove they voted for Mugabi.

[0:46] Mugabi has now drawn near unanimous

[0:48] condemnation from the West.

[0:50] >> The sham election there is likely only

[0:52] to bring more misery and perhaps

[0:55] violence. uh and we believe that it is

[0:58] really now time for the international

[0:59] community to act strongly.

[1:02] >> But many believe Zimbabwe's own

[1:03] neighbors carry the most weight.

[1:05] >> If uh you were to have a unanimous voice

[1:09] saying quite clearly to Mr. Bugabi, you

[1:12] are unwelcome

[1:15] uh any any longer. you are you are

[1:19] illegitimate and we will not recognize

[1:22] your administration in any uh shape or

[1:26] form. I think that that would be a very

[1:28] very powerful signal.

[1:31] >> The next chance is African Union summit

[1:33] in Egypt. Bugabi made sure he'll arrive

[1:36] there as his country's newly inaugurated

[1:38] president. The question now is whether

[1:40] his African counterparts will accept

[1:43] him. Jim Shudo, ABC News, Hang
