'The British sponsored coup in Zimbabwe' - MLO

MLO would like to make it crystal clear that the military coup staged by Zimbabwe Defence Forces will not solve Matabeleland grievances as it seeks to replace one dictator and genocidist with another. The coup itself shows how chaotic and disorderly Zimbabwe is.This is one of multiple reasons why Matabeles must restore their statehood as a mater urgency.

It is a shame to note that the Zimbabwe National Army that has since 1980 been used to serve the narrow interests of Zanupf has now stooped even lower to be used to settle political scores on behalf of Lacoste faction. This goes on to prove that the Zimbabwe National Army is military wing of Zanupf and thus can be engaged or involved in factional fights in Zanupf.

Once again the British are at it to install Emmerson Mnangagwa as President of Zimbabwe through this military coup and later demanding that he should form a transitional authority or government of national unity that would have a life span for 3 to 5 years to consolidate his position.and this will once again fail as we have said it before.Their shenanigans stink and are deplorable.We are tired of British dirty games believing that everyone would not see their DNA in this coup. It is common knowledge that Emmerson Mnangagwa and Morgan Tsvangirai were made to meet in South Africa to knit the composition of the so called Government of National Unity which shall be dominated by the Karangas.Sadly our unsophisticated Dumiso Dabengwa is being drawn into the plot like a moth, without any benefit that would flow into Matebeleland except for hsi personal gain.

Emmerson Mnangagwa who is currently being sanitised and imposed on the masses by the coup plotters and their backers is known for bad reasons in Matabeleland. We know him as "uZandla Ezbomvu" ( the one who's hands are dripping with innocent blood). The military Junta can fool everyone but not the people of Matabeleland about Mnangagwa. His genocide history smells to the highest heavens. His hate speeches during Matabeleland genocide are well recorded and remembered as if they were said yesterday.

There is no guarantee that if he takes power he will not unleash another genocide as he is a denialist and has refuses to apologise to the people of Matabeleland.

Criminals cannot get rid of other criminals if it is not for the purpose of taking over power and loot themselves. This false claim that coup plotters are intervening to arrest criminals surrounding President Mugabe must be dismissed with the laughter it deserves.

The coup plotters cannot turn around today and tell us that they are better than their friends in crime, with whom they have committed acts of genocide, looted state coffers and mismanaged the economy until Zimbabwe was rendered a failed state. They share the same DNA of corruption period!

Cold hearted Mnangagwa has already denied Matebeles their independence before he even takes power. He referred to MLO President Cde Paul Siwela as one possessed by demons of legion (many demons) for advocating for the restoration of the statehood of Matabeleland.

Even the proposed wishful list of the so called transitional government which names Mnangagwa as president relegates Matabeles to useless positions of vice president. Only a foolish Matebele can be art of such so called transitional government. Such positions will only be accepted by a few well known Shona supremacist boot lickers and sellouts who are always ready to save their masters.

Call it an ice cream coup, bloodless correctiion or whatever it is not for us the people of Matabeleland. It is for the uncivilised, violent and chaotic shona people who seem happy to welcome a genocidaire to be a president without posing to see the grave danger posed by having Emmerson Mnangagwa as leader of the country.He has begun by arresting his opponents in Zanupf and one can shudder to think what he would do to his opponents in other political parties.He is a dangerous man who should not and never be allowed to be near the seat of power.

Let the failures in the Zimbabwe opposition fall over each other for positions in the so called transitional government.

Blinded by the hunger for power and financial gains they are not even aware that they are sleep walking into a trap to legitimise a coup. They are not aware that they are setting a wrong precedent. Should the plot succeed, which we doubt, the leaders must dance to the tune of the army generals. Failure to that the trigger happy national army would be happy to come back and effect another bloodless coup to install another criminal and looter.

For patriotic Matabeles this is a God given opportunity never to be missed. We demand Matabeleland independence or death. Watch this space.
