Stay-Away
Call by the Broad Alliance
Broad
Alliance
June 06, 2005
The Broad Alliance
hereby confirms that it has called a 2 day nationwide Mass Stay
Away from 9 to 10 June 2005. The Broad Alliance is a coalition of
democratic forces who have decided to work together for the common
goal of establishing a just, prosperous and democratic Zimbabwe.
Organisations in the Broad Alliance that have unanimously called
for the Stay Away include:
- The Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
- The Zimbabwe
Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU)
- National
Constitutional Assembly (NCA)
- Crisis
in Zimbabwe Coalition
- Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
The purpose
of the Stay Away is for Zimbabweans to protest against the senselessness
and insensitivity of this government in that:
- It has destroyed
peoples' homes.
- It has destroyed
the livelihood of millions of innocent people in the informal
sector.
- It continues
to inflict misery on the people through economic mismanagement,
which has led to the shortage of food, shortage of fuel, unemployment,
transport problems, shortage of water and housing problems.
- It refuses
to accede to the demand for a democratic, people-driven constitution
and instead seeks to amend the constitution and impose a senate
on the people through a ZANU PF dominated parliament.
All Zimbabweans
are urged to participate in this action for national redemption.
This is the beginning of a determined effort by the people of Zimbabwe
to create a just, prosperous and democratic society.
Dr Lovemore
Madhuku
NCA National Chairperson and Convenor, Broad Alliance
