Strangled by his own scarf

With the new Zanu PF regime pulling in different directions, there is a growing belief that it is the army that is now in charge in Zimbabwe – and that it is ready to pull the trigger at any provocation.
 
Whatever the outcome of the MDC's legal challenge to the microscopic lead declared for Mnangagwa in the presidential election, the army is considered unlikely to allow a handover of power.
 
The chair of the British all-party parliamentary committee on Zimbabwe, Kate Hoey MP, has called for the dismissal of the Vice-President, General Chiwenga. Ms Hoey, who has been observing the elections, urged the West not to soften its policy towards Zimbabwe in the light of the bloody scenes in Harare.
 
The Americans, for their part, have been equally outspoken, alarmed by the violence and the treatment of the MDC's Tendai Biti, illegally bundled out of Zambia, where he had appealed for political asylum.
 
Is it not strange at this juncture that General Chiwenga has flown to Moscow on a ‘special mission' to deliver a message to President Putin? What could that be – except help!
 
Meanwhile Mnangagwa, in an interview with the British Daily Telegraph blames it all on the NGOs and the trouble-making independent press. No doubt he is supported by his fellow travellers in the gutless Southern African Development Community where the Zanu PF virus is increasingly poisoning their own politics.
