[I must compliment Mugabe. He isn’t a bad military strategist at all. He is, in my books, the BEST in Africa. Look at how he is preparing for a pre-emptive strike on the MDC. Plus, Mugabe seems to be a definite believer in landing the first blow. He will be killing the MDC before they know what hit them. Nice! Nice! Good military stuff… that’s the way its done! I will tip my hat to General Mugabe.

But, just because Mugabe is a pretty good strategist, doesn’t mean he can’t be totally DEFEATED! If his opposition had their own military strategy they could exploit this and land some pretty hot counter blows of their own and catch Mugabe by surprise too. It can be done.

But when I look at this, the MDC is so bloody outclassed. And once more, the MDC advertises their moves beforehand thereby giving Mugabe the weak excuse he needs to counter-punch them in the mouth.

The MDC wants to protest… but Mugabe will just send in people to slaughter them!! Mugabe is arming up for CIVIL WAR.

Isn’t it DREADFUL that the MDC can’t be armed? I’m telling you there is *NO HOPE* for Zimbabwe except to fight a massive and very bloody Civil War. There will be no other way. Even if Mugabe dies, Zanu(PF) will not be removed except through bloodshed. Rivers of blood will have to run in Zimbabwe – which will make the Rhodesian Bush War look like a walk in the park.

Don’t be fooled by the reference to “War Vets” – these are Mugabe’s Militia and Zanu(PF) supporters. This is like Hitlers SS – they are politically indoctrinated and they fight for Mugabe – not for Zimbabwe as a whole.

Man… wouldn’t it be just LOVELY… if somehow one could oppose Mugabe and land a few punches for the other side? I would love it.

Note how the other Marxist Scum of Africa are assisting him in this venture!

Take note though that these weapons must cost money… money which Mugabe can ill afford. And if fighting were to start, it would cost money to buy ammunition.

But despite these problems, Mugabe has more money than his equally bankrupt opposition! Bummer!

Thanks very much for finding this excellent article on The Zimbabwean and posting it JoAn. Very nice. Jan]

Zanu (PF) buys guns for war vets (01-02-07)
BY GIFT PHIRI

HARARE – There is surreptitious gun-running between Zimbabwe and two regional allies, Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), military officials said this week.

Sources revealed Zimbabwe was importing and massing an assortment of guns at army bases around the country in a pre-emptive strike against planned opposition protests.

Namibia and DRC are helping Zimbabwe circumvent an international arms embargo to buy huge quantities of guns and bullets aimed at fortifying President Mugabe’s rule and crush any protests against plans by the 82-year-old leader to postpone the presidential ballot.

The arms embargo was imposed three years ago by the EU and the United States on President Robert Mugabe’s government because of its appalling human rights record.

Military sources said most of the guns have been arriving secretly at Suri Suri airbase in Chegutu before being distributed to other military bases.

The bulk of the weapons have arrived from the DRC in that country’s military cargo plane. The weapons consist of a significant portion of French-made guns, most of which, top government sources say, will be distributed to war veterans who are set to form the new reserve force as government moves to purge the army and only retain “loyal” soldiers. Defence Minister Sydney Sekeramayi was unavailable for comment.

The French Embassy in Harare denied that France was selling arms to Zimbabwe and said it had no knowledge of the arrival of French arms in the country. Embassy staff confirmed France sold arms to several African countries, which could in turn re-sell them to other countries.

The first secretary at the Namibian High Commission in Harare, said he had no knowledge of Namibia helping Zimbabwe to bust the arms embargo while the DRC’s ambassador to Zimbabwe Mawampanga Mwanananga could not be reached for comment.

Authoritative military sources said the army would be training and arming war veterans who would soon form part of a reserve force being mooted by the Joint Operation Command. This exercise is understood to be the exclusive prerogative of a board of top war veterans appointed by President Mugabe recently. Members include retired army commanders Solomon Mujuru, Vitalis (Gava) Zvinavashe and Dumiso Dabengwa.

The Zimbabwean heard that a number of bases were being established for the war veterans throughout Zimbabwe, particularly in those areas without army camps.

The main objective would be to make it impossible for the opposition to campaign in rural areas and to pre-empt any opposition protests against the planned election merger.
The Zimbabwe National War Veterans Association (ZNWVA) provincial chairman Elphas Chitera told a press briefing that war veterans had fully thrown their weight behind the “harmonization of elections.”
