Prime Minister Tsvangirai must stop being dangerously delusional
Union for Sustainable Democracy
September 14, 2010

To hear of the possibility of an election next year in present circumstances is bad enough. But to learn that Prime Minister Tsvangirai has agreed not to contest the result of that election when it is inevitably stolen by Robert Mugabe and ZANU PF is devastating.

The Union for Sustainable Democracy is deeply saddened by the fact that, despite continuing intransigence on the part of Mugabe, Prime Minister Tsvangirai has allowed the President to fool him into believing that peace will 'prevail' during the next elections and that, merely by virtue of that empty and dishonest assurance, the outcome of the election should not be contested.

Considering these facts, it is not difficult to conclude that Prime Minister Tsvangirai has become dangerously delusional. This is an agreement that bears the gravest and most telling signs of political insanity which has no place in present day Zimbabwe.

Accordingly, we urge Arthur Mutambara's MDC faction to call for the swift rescission of the purported agreement between Prime Minister Tsvangirai and President Robert Mugabe for want of rationality and compliance with the spirit of inclusivity as espoused in the Global Political Agreement.

In the meantime, Zimbabwe deserves an urgent apology from the Prime Minister for what easily qualifies as the most hurtful betrayal in the history of our country.
