UNITED States research and advocacy group, Freedom House, has urged Sadc leaders to be firm on resolving the Zimbabwean political crisis by ensuring full implementation of the GPA before elections.
The organisation said the regional bloc should implement mechanisms that monitor the political parties’ compliance with GPA provisions. Freedom House senior programme officer for Africa Jenai Cox warned political violence would engulf the polls expected in 2013 if they are held without implementation of critical reforms.
“As the guarantor of the GPA, Sadc has a responsibility to the people of Zimbabwe to ensure that the GPA is fully implemented,” said Cox.
Sadc leaders met in Maputo on August 17 to discuss progress in GPA implementation which has dragged since the signing of the agreement on September 15 2008. It resolved that the inclusive government partners — Zanu PF and the MDC formations — should conclude the constitution-making process now deadlocked.
Freedom House criticised Sadc for repeatedly calling for full implementation of the GPA without outlining any consequences if elections were held without democratic and electoral reforms.
It said since the violence-ridden 2008 elections, the inclusive government has failed to make significant progress on reforms that include the adoption of a new governance charter, media and electoral law transformation. — Staff Writer.
Who the hell is US freedom house and what do they have to do with the people of Zimbabwe?.Zimbabwe is neighter a threat to the US nor South Africa.They are now attempting to strain the frank but cordial relationship between Zimbabwe and South Africa with the goal of inciting hostilities between two brothers to advance their own agenda in the region.South Africa must resist the wile of this US monster whose only objective is to maintain and expand its economic interest in the region and to kill if need be.Sadc was established among sister states in the region and it is a common understanding that none of them should interfere in the internal affairs of the other and they should not under any circumstances destabile any of its members.It would be a tradegy to see brothers begin to fight and kill each other because they were either coerced or tricked into an unnecessary conflict by the enemies of the African people in the region.There will be no winners but countless innocent people will be slaughtered while the so-called civilised imperialist world who instigated the conflict in the first place,looks on and condemn the Africans as savages for committing unspeakable atrocities against their own people,God forbid.This is what these devils are good at.They invent all kind of scenarios of political violence engulfing the region as the Africans move closer to owning and protecting their land and resources depriving them of further exploitation of the African people.From now on,Zimbabweans are going to bombarded with gloom and doom daily,the purpose here is to abandon their indigenization and enpowerment of the Zimbabwean people to satisfy the lust and the greed of the offspring of the colonial settlers and imperialists.Africans unite for your security.Failure to heed this call will result in a region very different than what it is today and you are not going to be happy.You will certainly wake up to the harsh reality of economic enslavement of your children and grandchildren for the misguided,petty,selfish and uninformed decisions you made.Pay no attention to these prophets of doom and resolve your problems in the true interest of your people among yourselves.You do not need outsiders to tell you how to acheive this noble goal.
It’s got nothing to do with furthering their own interests, or pitting South Africans against Zimbabweans.
It has everything to do with ensuring ZANU-PF stops killing, maiming, raping and stealing property from fellow Zimbabweans (black and white)…. Someone has to have a voice….
And indigenisation is merely being abused by ZANU-PF to loot productive enterprises because these fools want quick money with zero effort… they don’t give a shit about ordinary Zimbabweans…
Typical example of a racist rhodie”s reasoning.
