MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa Tuesday sang praises for the country armed forces but rebuked his Zanu-PF opponents for allegedly ordering recent army killings on defenceless civilians in Harare's CBD beginning of this month.
Chamisa said the country's military has done well as a force in discharging various community-based programmes and in foreign peacekeeping postings.
He was quick to condemn the current Zanu-PF led government for abusing the military for its own political ambitions as seen by the November 2017 scenes in which the military ousted then President Robert Mugabe and replaced him with the now president-elect Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Chamisa condemned politicians who gave the army the green light to shoot at bystanders and MDC Alliance demonstrators who were angered by results of the just ended elections which gave Zanu-PF a thumping poll victory.
Six were shot dead while over a dozen were injured as a result of the poll related skirmishes.
