Violence in Zimbabwe and the MDC and its Social Imperialist Sup****ters
By Stephen Gowans
It was MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai who said to Mugabe, "If you don't want
to go peacefully, we will remove you violently." [1]
It was MDC faction leader Arthur Mutambara who said he was "going to
remove
Robert Mugabe, I promise you, with every tool at my disposal" and that
"We're not going to rule out or in anything - the sky's the limit." [2]
It was secretary general of Tsvangirai's MDC faction, Tendai Biti, who
warned of Kenya-style post electoral violence if Mugabe won. [3]
It was opposition principal Pius Ncube, then Archbishop of Bulawayo, who
said he was "ready to lead the people, guns blazing," to oust the Mugabe
government. [4]
It was the Zimbabwe Resistance Movement that promised to take up arms
against the Zanu-PF government if "the poodles who run the Zimbabwe
Electoral Commission," failed to declare Tsvangirai the victor of the
presidential run-off election. [5]
In light of this, is it any surprise that Zanu-PF sup****ters are "outraged
that the Security Council that never saw the need to convene and discuss
Kenya when more than 2,000 people were hacked to death over two months, at
times in front of Western cameras, saw it fit to meet and discuss Zimbabwe
on the back of" claims by the opposition that it was being repressed by a
campaign of violence? [6]
