Violence is what everybody fears..
should we expect it???
PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT ASKING PEOPLE TO PARTAKE IN VIOLENT ACTIONS BEFORE AFTER OR DURING THE GENERAL ELECTION !!!!!!!!!!!!
In all the past elections since the emergence of a significantly strong opposition party (MDC) there has been politically influenced violence. In this view most people seem to anticipate "bloody" polls. I do too.
Why you may ask... well the nation's uniformed forces is led by people that actively participated in the liberation struggle and feel this nation is theirs. So too are those in the once undoubted "Ruling Party". As such they are more likely to consider violent action as means for maintaining the offices they hold.
Zimbabwe is a young country in comparison to some of the well established examples of "democracy" in Europe or America that gone through large numbers of presidents and or heads of state; where Zimbabwe has only gone through 1 in its 32 year history. This has greatly impacted the people of Zimbabwe such that if the out come of the General elections is not a favored one to some groups there will be a violent backlash in response to the result.
During the weekend there was a graduation ceremony for several hundred police cadets.....
fresh from training the young cops are quick to strike with their batons. So too are those from the military. My fear is if their commanders are unclear as to that their agenda is to protect the people and not to strike fear and pain to them the election result will not be consider free or fair....
I URGE YOU TO CEASE AND DESIST FROM ANY VIOLENT ACT IN THE MONTHS TO FOLLOW
LETS ALL VOTE IN PEACE AND HARMONY
i hope they will be peaceful

ReplyDeleteFirst of all I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteI was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind before
writing. I've had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Thanks!
