        Who told you what he said incited violence; maybe they were incited by ED reporting positive feedback; or Mukupe calling them names; Hungwe sayin ED wil shoot 2 power; warvets saying they will not be led by a child? Or better even because Zimbabweans decided themselves to protest

        It is my knowledge that by allowing Biti to be in Zambia, that means he can even proceed to any other country. There is no warrant of arrest issued so Zambia must release him and let him go to other countries where he can stay. But all Zambians who are in Zimbabwe must go back

        I believe Zambian soldiers did a well done job by not allowing zanu pf thugs to apprehend Biti. But these so called Ministers who think they can be permanent on those post.

        How if you may explain? Refusal to accept a flawed result is it inciting? If so then what Mukupe and Hungwe did was not inciting?

        Does BBC know why SADC is always quick to endorse elections even those hotly disputed? They were the first to endorse 2008 elections when more than 200 people were killed! SADC is a joke & the world should not be surprised by the decision by Zambia

        Zambia is right. Every country has a right to decide its own migration policies and you cannot impose yourself on a sovereign state. All you have to do is to learn to respect the borders of other countries and their right to self determination. Stop making your problems ours!
