On the eve of Desert Storm, the then President of the United States of America George Bush made the following para-phrased statement directed at Saddam Hussein the then President of Iraq after he had unilaterally declared that Kuwait was a province of Iraq and went on to annexe it: The world will not allow Iraq to occupy Kuwait and if Iraq. This is neither a threat nor a boast. The US President said this on the basis of the fact that Kuwait was not a province of Iraq and as such, had no right, in a world of right and wrong, to pursue that wrong dream. The rest is history. Back to Zimbabwe, I strongly believe that my issuing the following statement is justified: The real victims of persecution, the real people who have borne the brunt of the evils of an unjust society will not allow wannabes to torpedo the constitutional arrangement that is subsisting regarding elected leaders such as the party President, no matter how highly placed they may be within the structures of the MdcT. This is neither a threat nor a boast. I make this statement on the basis that Morgan Tsvangirai is the constitutionally elected President of the Mdc T and that his term in that position ends in 2016. As far as the real victims are concerned, there is nothing that has happened on the ground and elsewhere to constitutionally render that status quo null and void so as to call upon him through letters to hostile media to step down. Step down from what? Nimweyo muchiyoasankha Bambo Tsvangirai? Sianthu apa grassroots echiyo sankha? Zimene mululavila nizimene anthuwo anena congress isana fwike? Was it you who elected Morgan Tsvangirai to that position? Was it not the grass-roots you were representing that elected him? Is what you are clamouring for what the grass-roots told you to do in the absence of a congress? Do find time to think about these things Cdes. Marasika.
