Zimbabwe: what's news?

Afro Leo has been very concerned about the recent news of political unrest and violence coming from Zimbabwe. Knowing that the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO) is quartered in Zimbabwe's capital Harare, and recalling that the African University in Mutare is expecting to host a WIPO Masters Degree course in Intellectual Property later this year (see Afro-IP post here), he asks if any of his readers can tell him how ARIPO is managing, and whether any contingencies have been made for the course if the troubles continue. Does anyone know?
