Part one - How things stand
We hear the views of prominent African politicians, past and present, on Zimbabwe's elections, and where the responsibility lies for the abject economic and political situation that the country is now in.
Part two - The seat of power
Who really holds the power inside Zimbabwe? We assess the might of the military in the political arena and ask opposition MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai about prospects for a power-sharing deal.
Part three - Influence from abroad
And what of Western and regional powers wanting to influence Zimbabwe's future? We talk to key players.
Part four - The economy
Economist John Robertson explains the economic mess that the country is in; and ruling party and government politicians tell us how they plan to get the fee-falling economy back on track.
Part five - The way forward
We consider the chances of peace and reconciliation within the traumatised country. What lessons can be learnt from the experiences of other African countries?
