Sunday Mail claims PM Morgan Tsvangirai visited Morocco last week where he received more lessons on the North African uprisings.

At home his MDC-T is understood to have recruited about 340 youths to form what the party is calling "reaction teams" as suspicion that the Western-funded party is preparing to unleash violence gathers momentum. While in Morocco, reports say Tsvangirai was promised more Western funding if his party manages to stage revolts that will push President Mugabe and Zanu-PF out of power if the MDC-T loses in the forthcoming elections.

These latest revelations come amid reports that the MDC-T has recruited more than 340 youths in Harare and Chitungwiza to run a string of violence campaigns through terror groups known as "reaction teams".

Sources last week revealed that although Tsvangirai was in the North African country under the cover of the Amadeus Institute annual conference, he was, in fact,  drumming up support ahead of elections slated for next year.

The sources said his latest foray to the North and the creation of the "reaction teams" were tailored to instigate mayhem that would prompt Western intervention under the guise of the United Nations, as happened in Libya.

Reports say while at the conference, the MDC-T leader met Kenyan prime minister Raila Odinga and Libyan interim prime minister Abdurraheem El-Keib.

Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office Jameson Timba Saturday night almost blew Tsvangirai's cover, saying his boss had only received "lessons on democracy" in Morocco.

"It is totally untrue and malicious. The Prime Minister travelled to Morocco to attend the annual event and is now back in the country," he said. "The only 'training' he has received is on democracy."
