Clear signs of mass mobilization in Zimbabwe : Sokwanele Update #12 sokwanele.com Clear signs are emerging in Zimbabwe of a mobilization of the people. Despite the massive police presence across the country and in the full knowledge that the army is being held on a high state of alert to put down any popular uprising, the call has gone out for people to take to the streets in protest against yet another rigged election. The evidence is now clear, that the current parliamentary elections have been massively rigged and particularly in the rural constituencies. Across the country stories are pouring in of ZANU PF agents acting in defiance of the country’s electoral law and of every norm of free and democratic elections. The opposition MDC’s election agents have been illegally detained at numerous polling stations in order to prevent them from communicating the polling station results which the presiding officers should have communicated, but failed to communicate immediately on the completion of the count. ZANU PF have not only committed a massive fraud. They have also violated in most blatant fashion the electoral laws which they themselves crafted. Over and again the electoral institutions have demonstrated their partisan nature, as have the courts. Therefore the people of Zimbabwe can have no hope of legal redress of their legitimate grievances within the existing framework of unjust laws and corrupt administration. In short, they have no option but to take to the streets in protest at the way in which they have effectively been disenfranchised by a clique of corrupt, self-serving politicians. Only a few days ago the courageous Archbishop of Bulawayo, Pius Ncube, advocated a non-violent and peaceful uprising to remove an entrenched dictatorship that has caused untold suffering to the people of Zimbabwe. It seems the people are heeding that call. The people of Zimbabwe who are rising up to throw off the chains of oppression deserve the support of the international community. Pray God we may not fail them at this hour. posted by Sokwanele at 1:46 PM Did you know...?
