The three 'exis of evil' United States Of America, United Kingdom and MDC-T have been fingered in fuelling sporadic protests sweeping through Zimbabwe.
According to the state run Herald, cars belonging to the American and British embassies where spotted in Epworth, the scene of one of the protests on Monday.
This suggested the embassies had a hand in the civil unrest.
"Surprisingly, after the situation had calmed in Epworth, two vehicles from the American and British embassies were seen patrolling in the area while the opposition MDC-T hastily called a press conference urging its supporters to join the hooligans" the publication said.
Opposition MDC-T officials backed the protests.
MDC-T called an urgent Press conference at its Harvest House headquarters where party spokesperson Obert Gutu urged MDC-T members to join the protests.
"As MDC we have absolutely no shame to say here and now, that we fully support all the peaceful demonstrations that disgruntled Zimbabweans have since embarked upon," said Gutu.
"As the situation deteriorates in Zimbabwe, we stand in support of any exercise of their rights in line with the dictates of the Constitution, which gives us the right to demonstrate.
"We, in the MDC support any sector that is embarking in peaceful demonstrations. As a party, we urge all our members, to join any legitimate demonstration that is meant to bring pressure on this regime.
"On our part, as MDC we shall continue to mobilise Zimbabweans against this Government, which must resign because it has failed the people of Zimbabwe."
