    Gen Constantine Chiwenga is hailed as a political saviour after he led the military takeover in Zimbabwe, however he is under sanctions from the EU and the US for his role in a brutal crackdown on the opposition, and over the seizure of white-owned farms. http://bbc.in/2AZxyoW pic.twitter.com/SM59f0UWJm

        Indeed. Luck is what we are now praying for. I think we had a bit of luck that Mugabe no longer served the interests of those who conquered him. They had to use civilians to achieve their selfish ends. We now need to get them out soon.

        You know,there's much else hidden away.We cannot forget the role of the army & police when over 250 citizens were killed several years ago.They are complicit in the crimes that took place. So far, nobody hurt.My thoughts & prayers with you in the days ahead.Heaven should protect.

        KayMukunda and #Zimbabwe You’re putting the number killed to 250, that’s an understatement. These people killed at a grand scale. Remember the violence of the land grab, the stolen votes, the men in dark glasses blindfolding people, taking them away in the small hours of mornings

        You are absolutely correct. I was referring to the previous election period. But, yes! You are correct. I cannot forget the massacre in Matabeleland in the '80s, and so much more.

        The EU and the US need to know that the moment is only to stabilize and bring Zimbabwe back to normalcy and not to exhibit their foreign policy on the people of Zimbabwe. The situation in the country today deteriorated because of them. They need to park away!

        The same European Union that is allegedly paying militants in Libya to intercept immigrants so that they don't go to their countries? Who is evil now?
