Mengstu Haile Mariam former President of Ethiopia who committed serious crimes against humanity and he is believed to be hiding in Zimbabwe
Developments which are taking place in Zimbabwe are all pointing to the fact that Robert Mugabe's days at Munhumutapa building are now numbered  and as a result all hell is about to break loose on people who are hiding under his wings the likes of  Mengstu Haile Mariam former President  of Ethiopia. We are going to extradite him. The new Zimbabwe has no place for murderers like Mengstu.

‘Birds of the same feathers flock together' this is an old adage we all know. Mengstu Haile Mariam committed serious crimes against humanity which left millions of innocent civilians dead in the hands of his military junta. Mengstu who ruled Ethiopia from 1977 to 1987 engineered a serious genocide which massacred millions of his own people.

He fled justice and he is now living large in Harare, Zimbabwe where he was granted five star protection by President Robert Mugabe's ZANU PF government. Of course that was too obvious, murderers will always protect each other. Since 1991 Mengstu has been living large in Harare feasting on taxpayers' money. But his end is nigh because his Godfather Robert Mugabe is also nearing his end and we the people of Zimbabwe shall extradite Mengstu to go and face justice in Ethiopia because we have no place for murderers in the coming new Zimbabwe.

If he (Mengstu) is wise he must start thinking about his next move for his days in Zimbabwe are now numbered. Our country is going through tough times, our economy is dead and the government is failing to pay its workers. But they (ZANU PF government) have the money to give special care to a person who killed millions of innocent Ethiopians, Mengstu Haile Mariam. Why? Massacring innocent civilians is it something which is making our government treat him in such a special way? Of course yes, what do you expect from Robert Mugabe a man whose hands are also dripping blood of innocent civilians. Yes they (Mugabe and his clowns) are birds of the same feathers with Mengstu.

To add salt to an injury Mengstu is believed to be the brains behind Operation Murambatsvina which left hundreds of Zimbabweans displaced and homeless after Mugabe's government destroyed their houses. He connived with President Mugabe to commit Operation Murambatsvina which grossly violated the rights of the people of Zimbabwe. Mengstu must be arrested and put to trial in Zimbabwe for Operation Murambatsvina before being extradited to Ethiopia to face more charges of the genocide which he committed. If the next government which will soon take over from this dying ZANU PF is afraid of it then we (the people) shall do a citizen arrest and apprehend Mengstu.

Whatever Mengstu is doing enjoying life in the hands of the ZANU PF government may he do it to the fullest for his days are numbered and we are coming after him. You can't run away from justice forever. His day is drawing closer each and every day. The souls of millions of Ethiopians which Mengstu massacred are groaning in the air waiting for the day this murderer will be apprehended. Oh yes how I wish to see that day.
Watch out Mengstu we are coming for you and we shall extradite you to Ethiopia that day is drawing closer and closer.

Justice shall prevail.
