Zim: Army on alert for unrest

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.

Army on alert for unrest
BY ITAI DZAMARA HARARE – The Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) could soon be compelled to deploy forces into towns and cities to contain boiling political tension, as opposition forces vow to continue pushing for political change in the country. The Zimbabwean has established that ZNA leaders this week communicated to all barracks that they had to put forces on standby due to the possibility of them being called in to reinforce operations by the Zimbabwe Republic Police and Police Support Unit. “The communication, which was put in writing for the army headquarters in Harare, states that we must generally be prepared for duty in the face of increasing reports of violent clashes,” a senior official from the army’s KGV1 headquarters in Harare said. “This means necessary measures, which include making sure there are enough resources both in terms of manpower and other needs, are put in place. If it becomes necessary, this might also mean calling all members of the army from leave and other commitments.” Defence minister, Sydney Sekeramayi said. “If the situation calls for it, the army, just like any other state security force, shall be required to intervene and will do so”. The communication to army barracks followed a meeting last week involving the Joint Operation Command, comprising leaders of the army, police, prison services and intelligence unit of government. Sources privy to the meeting said it was agreed that the state security agents had to be on high alert following claims by the Central Intelligence Organisation that it had established the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) had amassed weapons and was planning to start civil strife in the country. Minister of Home Affairs, Kembo Mohadi, who is in charge of the police, also confirmed that the ZRP was on high alert following recent clashes with opposition forces.
