Zim crisis at tipping point – Tsvangirai

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

London – Zimbabwe’s main opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai said on Sunday that the crisis-hit country was at a “tipping point”, in a telephone interview with BBC television.

Asked whether Zimbabwe was on the edge of a “moment of liberation,” Tsvangirai responded: “I think that this is a tipping point. Things are bad but I think this crisis has reached a tipping point and we could be seeing the beginning of the end of this dictatorship.”

Turning to his recent head injuries sustained at the hands of President Robert Mugabe’s security services, he added: “My physical condition is greatly improved. I am recovering.”

Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) president Tsvangirai left hospital in a wheelchair last Friday. Doctors told him he was out of danger and had suffered no brain damage after his arrest for trying to attend a banned rally in Harare last Sunday.

Images of a badly beaten Tsvangirai and his supporters triggered worldwide condemnation, particularly from Mugabe’s arch foes in London and Washington.

In a further development on Sunday, another member of Zimbabwe’s opposition was prevented from leaving the country and suffered serious injuries after being beaten up at Harare International Airport, officials said.

Nelson Chamisa, a spokesperson for the opposition MDC, was attacked by suspected state security agents, his MDC colleague William Bango said.

Tsvangirai told the BBC: “This morning when Nelson Chamisa tried to go to the airport on a scheduled mission to Brussels, he was attacked by men and he is also in hospital now, having suffered a very serious fracture in his eye.

“This is a pattern which is increasing in intensity and I think that this is a very serious situation.

Chamisa was on his way to attend an Africa Caribbean Pacific (ACP) -European Union (EU) meeting in Belgium. – Sapa-AFP
