We Are Not Like ISIS Or Al Shabaab Or Boko Haram: Chamisa

MDC president Nelson Chamisa today rubbished allegations made by the military and police on Monday that MDC is a militant party. The accusations were made by senior army and police officials while giving their testimony before the Motlanthe Commission. A 263chat report claims that Chamisa  said

To call us a terrorist party, a terrorist’s organisation, where have you seen a terrorist with a headquarters along the same road as the parliament of Zimbabwe? Where have you seen a terrorist’s organisation that would use placards to engage the government instead of using arms of war?

We use placards because we believe in the democratic tools such as demonstrations. Where have you seen a violent party that believes in rallies as a way of dealing with the government? We go to rallies because those are democratic tools… We are not like ISIS or Al Shabaab or Boko Haram who had headquarters in the mountains. We have our headquarters at this house because we believe in democracy because we believe that to remove a government that is not performing we must go to an election and we have won the election but they have refused to give in and that’s why we find ourselves in this situation.
