Outcry over Zimbabwe elections

Governments from around the world have said they are angry with the way elections are being run in Zimbabwe.

The United Nations has said it thinks that because of violence in the country it will be impossible to have a fair contest to elect a president.

Morgan Tsvangirai, leader of the main opposition party, pulled out of the election on Monday.

He says supporters of President Robert Mugabe are threatening and even killing the people who support him.

But Robert Mugabe says Tsvangirai pulled out of the election because he knew he would lose, and has said people are spreading lies about him and his followers.

The two sides couldn't agree who won the first presidential vote

The violence has been sparked by the presidential elections, which have been going on for months.

The first vote was held on 29 March, but the two main parties couldn't agree who'd won.

Tsvangirai's party, the Movement for Democratic Change. said he got the most votes, but the official results said he didn't get enough votes to win. That meant there had to be another election to make sure that one party got a big majority.

Since then, the two men's supporters have been fighting each other and hundreds of people have been killed.

The new election is supposed to be held on Friday, but many people now believe there won't be a fair result.
