Zimbabwe Social Democrats supports MDC-T Birmingham UK demo demanding the recall EU Ambassador but ask that MDC supporters must first look in the mirror.
The ZSD support the Saturday 12 July 2014 demonstration by MDC-T supporters demanding the recall of the EU Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Aldo Dell'Ariccia following his blatant lies that there was no leadership crisis in Zimbabwe. However we would like the MDC supporters to take a hard look in the mirror too.
Whereas Ambassador Aldo Dell'Ariccia's remarks have caused a destabilizing wave in a pond it is nothing compared to the tsunami that hit the nation because MDC failed to implement the democratic reforms necessary for free, fair and credible elections!
MDC supporters have failed to understand that it was their party that betrayed the nation by fail- ing to get the democratic reforms implemented. The party had the majority in the GNU parliament and in cabinet and had five years to implement the reforms but failed to get even one reform im- plemented.
"The Harare regime has not only failed to do even one of the above (progress on verification of the voter's roll, liberalization of the media, and completing outstanding reforms, including those related to the security sectors), but also refused to implement constitutional amendments passed by Parliament, which would protect free and fair elections," Paul Kazingizi told New Zimbabwe.
The people of Zimbabwe wanted free and fair elections in 2013 and not in the distance future
and therefore it is nonsense that MDC is calling for the verification of the voters roll after the elec- tion when they did not do so before the elections.
The new Copac constitution, "the brain child of MDC" Tsvangirai claimed at the time, was meant to deliver free and fair elections in 2013 and not dependent on the parliament that emerged after the elections to then implement amendments "which would protect free and fair elections"!
If these MDC supporters were as awake then they should have demanded the recall of Tsvangi- rai and his team years ago for their breath-taking incompetent. Then Mugabe would not have rigged the 2013 elections landing the nation in all this mess!
Conclusion
As long as MDC supporters continue to see the speck in other people's eyes but would not see the log in their own eyes then no one, especially the international community, will take them seri- ously!
