West's hand in demos exposed

Western countries' hand in aiding and abetting violent demonstrations that rocked the country recently, was exposed yesterday when officials from the implicated embassies turned up for a media briefing called by the opposition MDC-T.

What was supposed to be a media briefing later turned out to be a ploy by the MDC-T to present stage-managed narration of "police brutality" by alleged victims to the embassy officials.

Political analysts castigated the MDC-T saying instead of parading the so-called victims to embassy officials, they should be seen filing lawsuits against the alleged police brutality since Zimbabwe is a democracy.

The United States, Britain and France have been implicated as sponsors of violent demonstrations by opposition parties and shadowy groups seeking regime change in the country.

Identified officials who attended yesterday's briefing were from Australia (Amanda Potter), Netherlands (Arthur Belle) while others believed to be from the United States and Canada refused to identify themselves.
