The United States of America’s Senate on Foreign Relations Committee has said the Zimbabwean government is not motivated to address the economic and humanitarian crisis in the country but rather is focused on silencing opposition political parties.
The committee was commenting on the use of soldiers and police on Thursday night in the takeover of Harvest House from the MDC Alliance led by Nelson Chamisa.
The building was handed to the Movement for Democratic Change Tsvangirai (MDC-T) led by reinstated leader Thokozani Khupe. Posting on Twitter, the committee said:
The takeover of @mdczimbabwe HQ Harvest House, assault of a youth leader & arrest of several party leaders, incl. @BitiTendai, demonstrates again that #Zimbabwe govt is focused on crushing political opposition rather than remedying economic crisis, COVID19 & humanitarian despair.
The police also arrested six MDC Alliance officials for criminal nuisance after they tried to regain entry into the building their party used as its headquarters.
The recent events attracted criticism from human rights defenders, legal experts and the international community.
Meanwhile, the MDC Alliance has vowed that it will take every possible action to repossess the building.

Yes ZANU (PF) is doing bad and am sure everyone agrees with that. But that said, should the USA play that policing role over the country on every single matter? Is this what they do to every other country in the same circumstances? Is the USA open to being policed by other countries?
Anonymous – you are right, it should not be up to the US govt to interfere all the time – HOWEVER, it should be up to the PEOPLE OF ZIMBABWE to interfere on a daily basis. But they are cowards, so they get exactly what they deserve for doing nothing.
