Mugabe's govt fears army, police hostilities

Fears of explosive hostilities between the army and police fuelled by Zanu-PF's succession driven factionalism and infighting cutting across the security sector and other critical institutions of government are mounting amid clear indications that the two pillars of state stability are fighting a hot cold war.

This destabilizing military situation has created growing suspicious and uncertainties within the security sector as shown by the Gushungo dairy bombing saga in January that amid bare divisions between the army and the police.

The arrest of war veterans leaders over sensational Mgagao-like communique demanding president Robert Mugabe should quit as he has failed and ruined the nation as well as people's lives also exposed their mutual hostilities.

Since the Gushungo bombing affair –which has claimed the scalp of prosecutor general Tomana who sided with the military against police -relations between armed forces and law enforcement agency bosses have been deteriorating.
