suspicious of ZANU PF's commitment to genuine negotiation
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
July 28, 2008
The Zimbabwe
National Students Union welcomes the commitment by the two main
political players in the Zimbabwean politics to negotiations aimed
at resolving the political crisis. We however remain suspicious
of ZANU PF and their commitment to genuine negotiations.
We wish to reiterate our earlier position that any negotiated outcome
must take into account the will of the people as expressed on the
29th of March 2008. Any other outcome that fails to realise the
fact that Zimbabweans went to polls in a fairly free election, at
least by Zimbabwean standards, and elected the President of their
choice, will not change anything and such an arrangement will be
defied.
We further wish to express our displeasure with the inclusion of
irrelevant players in these negotions, that is Arthur Mutambara
and his confused group. The simple reason being that they don't
have the mandate, "from anyone to represent anyone", in
this process since they did not participate in the Presidential
poll held on March 29, 2008.
Any authority, respecting the will of the people, coming out of
this process should address the following fundamental issues:
- The delivery
of basic services to the nation, education, health, accommodation,
food to all Zimbabweans.
- Respect
of human rights and the rule of law
- Address
issues of truth and justice especially politically motivated atrocities
witnessed post March 29.
- Prepare
for fresh elections in the shortest possible time to allow the
people to bring into office a genuinely democratically elected
Government.
A transitional
settlement that is a product of a genuine negotiations and respecting
the will of the people as expressed on March 29, 2008 is the best
way forward for our country. Failure to take congnisance of the
March 29 result will not resolve anything as any outcome from such
a process will be defied and we wish to make it categorically clear
that the students of Zimbabwe will not allow ZANU PF to ursurp power
from a democratically elected party, mandated to form the next Governmnet
of Zimbabwe. ZINASU will be the first to defy.
