        Its so unfortunate that we are found trying to teach English people, how to read and intervpret English, simply because they want to agitate the supporter, to achieve some hidden agenda of endorsing EDM .Iwill rather be stupid that being killed by the regime.

        Watch the damn video clip & then comment on whether the report is biased or not. Don't just blindly follow Chamisa. It's people like you that provoked the authorities & led us into this mess we are in now. It has to be said...I am tired of MDC A cultlike worship of Chamisa

        Nelson Chamisa should resign for he is not for the people, but using them for his own gains. The same people he told to go in the streets and protect their votes is the same people he is now calling stupid because the commission wants him to account for his actions. Very illusive
