Zimbabwe: 2007 till Mugabe resigns

[davidbfpo]

Last week's post was surprising enough, with war veterans once again showing their opposition to Robert Mugabe. now a potentially more dangerous "shot across the bows" and the BBC's headline:

Zimbabwe military chief Chiwenga in Zanu-PF purge warning

So what did he say, with ninety senior officers standing with him?

The current purging, which is clearly targeting members of the party with a liberation background, must stop forthwith....We must remind those behind the current treacherous shenanigans that when it comes to matters of protecting our revolution, the military will not hesitate to step in.

Whether the leadership are true to the revolution is a moot point, perhaps they also fear for their wealth from the younger generation.
