"The party will embark on peaceful and constitutional demonstrations and other forms of expression around the issues to force the regime of Robert Mugabe to accept the need for reforms," the MDC said at the close of a party congress.
The protests "will force the government of Robert Mugabe to the negotiating table and build consensus on the need for a timetable towards a free and fair election and return to legitimacy," the party said
Coming from the MDC that is a very significant achievement; even a verbal acknowledgement of the need for the democratic reforms is a great achievement. We dare not ask how the reforms will be implemented, even if the party's street protest were to force Mugabe to the talks; because no one in MDC has thought of that one yet! If they had then they would have realised the task was infinitely easier to accomplish during the GNU than it is now. This would have led them to then ask why the reforms were not implemented then!
The MDC congress came and went and still nothing said on what went wrong leading to the blatantly vote rigging by Mugabe and Zanu PF. Election the same breathtakingly incompetent leaders who failed to get even one democratic reform implemented when they had all the opportunities to do so over the five-year life of the GNU is proof that MDC is not a serious political party since it is a party led by the incompetent leading some amazingly blind and naïve followers.
Until Zimbabweans can demonstrate that they are serious about finding solutions to the country's serious political and economic problems by electing competent and serious leaders then the international community will have no choice but to ignore Zimbabwe. People get the government and opposition they deserve we certain deserve this corrupt and murderous Zanu PF and the blundering and incompetent MDC. We can stew in the mess of our own making for as long as we please until we learn!
"We have to be brave, we have to take action," said Tsvangirai at the end of the party's congress. "I'm forever ready to lead from the front these very troops gathered here today and all those across our nation.
"We will mobilise and galvanise the nation for the endgame."
Endgame! Mugabe and Zanu PF would not be in power today if MDC has implemented the democratic reforms during the GNU. It was not because the people were not brave that Mugabe is still in power but because MDC leaders were corrupt and breathtakingly incompetent. Sadly the same incompetent leaders are still leading the party – nowhere!
