[Interesting and good, but still not enough. Its bullets that will unseat Mugabe and ZANU – and nothing else. Its Civil war or nothing. Sometimes, in countries, the clouds of war take a long time to gather. So perhaps I’ve just been ahead of the game for years now by calling for war. But it may be simply a case of waiting long enough – War – Civil War and SLAUGHTER may yet rain down on that country. Jan]

Looks like various African countries are also going after Mugabe, about time: MH, USA

JOHANNESBURG:
CRISIS in Zimbabwe Coalition is taking out to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to drum up regional support in order to expose the worsening socio-economic and political meltdown in the country as an estimated five million Zimbabwean citizens are now living in abroad, escaping from the increasingly worsening poverty.

Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition, who were recently in Bostwana, Zambia and Malawi drumming the regional support, are presently in Tanzania under the Organising Civil Society initiative as part of the coalition’s regional civil society advocacy programme.

The delegation comprises Elinor Sisulu, Nicholas Mukaronda, Jestina Mkoko and Itai Zimunya ,all from the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition,and will be working with the Tanzanian civil society to establish the Tanzanian Civil Society Forum in Zimbabwe.

“Our main reason for being there is to provide the Tanzania civil society with adequate and accurate information about the crisis in Zimbabwe.

“We want to tell a true story about the sufferings in Zimbabwe contrary to the moribund propaganda that is being syphoned by the state sponsored media like The Herald,The Chronicle and the Zimbabwe Television (ZTV),” said Nixon (Mao) Nyikadzino, the Media Person for the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition.

The establishment of the Tanzanian Civil Society Forum in Zimbabwe is being coordinated by the Legal and Human Rights Centre.

“The proposed Tanzanian Civil Society Forum in Zimbabwe would be convened for for weeks with the Legal and Human Rights centre in Tanzania faciltating the organisation of the said Forum,” added Nyikadzino.

The Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition would be working closely with the Legal and Human Rights Centre in convening the forum.

The Zimbabwe Coalition would in the process prepare information packs to disseminate to the Tanzanian society.

A workshop is slotted for the 23rd and 24th of October in Dar es Salaam-and the forum will involve a number of Civil Society Organisations, government officials, the media and faith based organisations.

More than fifty participants are expected to attend the forum.

This initiative comes against the background of increased abuses by the government of Zimbabwe against members of the opposition, the civic society and ordinary civilians.

The government security agents a few weeks ago unleashed their brutal tactics used to quell voices of dissent on demonstrating members of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU), and many ZCTU members are still battling to recover from the savage beatings that they got from the police and state security agents.

A lot of pressure groups are operating in the diaspora as a way of putting pressure on the aging leader of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, to step down; and this Tannzanian initiative will likely force the Tanzanian ruling hierachy to stop legitimising and supporting the unpopular Mugabe regime-CAJ News.
