MDC-T ponders as to whether military will ensure freedoms after Mugabe

Following the freedom that was seen when the citizens marched for Robert Mugabe to step down, MDC-T deputy Chairperson Morgen Komichi has question if the Zimbabwe Defence forces will maintain that freedom after Mugabe is gone as the opposition had all along been stifled to do so.

Thousands of people gathered for a massive march for Mugabe to go in Harare, Bulawayo, Masvingo and Gweru.

"For the last 18 yrs Zimbabwe opposition political parties have been fighting for the very same issues which the Generals are purporting to advance. However it has been difficult to break the ceiling without their involvement. We should thank them for finally coming to our rescue," said Komichi.

"The question is, are the Generals able to keep this promise. Remember under Mugabe we suffered serious human rights abuses. We need ZTV and radio coverage. Chiefs and headmen should stop harassing people during elections. Give ZEC full independence. Security sector should be impartial. We need the rule of law just to mention a few, the constitution has everything. Thanks Generals."

Mugabe gave in to the people's demands yesterday when he resigned.
