condemns the failed MDC unity talks
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
February 05, 2008
The Zimbabwe
National Students Union vehemently condemns in the strongest of
terms the failure by the opposition Movement For Democratic Change
(MDC) formations, to present a united front against Robert Mugabe
in the forthcoming elections. It is saddening to note that these
people can afford to put personal and selfish interests ahead of
the interests of the suffering Zimbabwean citizenry.
We are shocked that the
two parties are jostling and fighting over Parliamentary seats at
the expense of the suffering masses of Zimbabwe. For them to disagree
on a united front on the basis of who stands in which Constituency,
when the country is in a serious crisis emanating from the bad governance
of Robert Mugabe and to present him with an opportunity to regain
control of Zimbabwe is disappointing and discouraging. With Inflation
hovering above 50 000%, unemployment rate at over 85%, 75% of the
population living below the poverty datum line, any level headed
man would have opted for a united front to confront the geriatric,
octogenarian Dictator.
To the two Presidents,
Morgan Tsvangirai and Arthur Mutambara, SHAME ON YOU!! ! You have
betrayed the people of Zimbabwe. History will judge you and remember
when it judges you in absentia it shall judge you harshly. What
legacy do you want to leave? Do you want us to remember you as Faction
Leaders or National leaders? We cannot afford to sit idly and cowardly
as you destroy our future. You will remain faction leaders if this
unity fails out rightly.
We are not going to let
the people's project fail. Let not any opportunist elements within
the rank and file of both formations dent people's expectations
and hopes for a better future. Surely our project cannot be sacrificed
at all costs. YOU need to have the broader scope in mind.
We however feel
it is never too late, we demand that you continue engaging each
other till you have reached an agreement on a united front. We put
it up to you to solve this matter before elections. A solution can
still be implemented even after the nomination court has been closed.
What we require from MDC is political goodwill to find a long lasting
solution to the current impasse facing the nation.
Clever Bere
President
