Less talk and more action
Zimbabwe Human
Rights Association (ZimRights)
November 14, 2011
The Zimbabwe
Human Rights Association (ZimRights) once again demands action as
regards to the parties to the inclusive government's commitment
to tame violence across the country.
On Friday the
11th November, the leadership to the coalition
government together with the executive structures of the involved
respective parties convened a historic meeting aimed at deliberating
issues surrounding the increase in violence that had been recorded
in the preceding weeks. We applaud the outcome of the meetings;
that violence was condemned in strongest words and that commitments
to cascade down the gospel t the bottom rams of political structures
were made. Serious considerations were also reportedly made to the
police, who of late have been accused of perpetrating violence allegedly
through partisan operations.
However, the
main concerns emanate from the fact that this is not the first time,
Zimbabweans have been given such promises. Two months ago, people
were beaten and property vandalized at a time when the president
was delivery a peace and tolerate message during the opening of
the fourth sessions of the seventh parliament. The country continued
to witness such barbarism throughout a series of public consultations
on the Zimbabwe
Electoral Amendment Bill cascading into the disruption of at
least MDC-T rallies without any action being taken.
With such a past full of promises that never materialized, ZimRights
demands less talk and more action from GNU leader. Their agreements
are noble on paper but are not effective, with many Zimbabweans
suffering at the mercy of over-zealous political thugs. We call
upon the leaders to focus more on implementation than on delivering
speeches that are contradicted by the action of their followers.
We demand that all political parties i.e. the two MDC formations
and ZANU-PF, to amplify their voices with action.
