The United States right-wing establishment is planning civil unrest in Zimbabwe which it says could occur "in the coming 12 to 18 months" according to state controlled Herald.

A memorandum dated March 2015, titled "Political Instability in Zimbabwe: Contingency Planning Memorandum No. 23" prepared by the Council on Foreign Relations, details the role the US will play in the violence and how it will seek to influence Zimbabwe's neighbours, China and the European Union in abetting regime change.

The US will also work with "moderates" in Zanu-Pf. The revelations come as The Herald reported on Wednesday how MDC-T, the putschist cabal in Zanu-PF and right-wing elements in the US were angling to make the country ungovernable by fomenting anarchy.

MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai has since travelled to the US to get funding and briefing on the nefarious plot.

The memorandum by the influential think-tank CFR, though, lays down the intricate details of the plan.
