Who is sponsoring anti-Zimbabwe government demonstrations?

Zimbabwe faced ugly scenes of violent demonstrations at the hands of political opposition elements and their appendages. The demonstrations, which caused untold mayhem in the country, were staged in protest against the introduction of Statutory Instrument 64 of 2016, which seeks to regulate imports of selected goods into the country, intended introduction of bond notes into the economy and alleged police brutality among a long litany of demands and allegations. Demonstrations over the same issues were also held by Zimbabweans who are resident in the Diaspora. More demonstrations are also planned to coincide with the United Nations General Assembly scheduled to be held in New York City in the United States of America from 13 September 2016.

The demonstrations, which would be mainly staged at the Zimbabwe United Nations offices in the United States of America, are calculated to embarrass President Mugabe who will be attending the General Assembly together with other world leaders. One of the organisers of the protests in the USA, Chiwoniso Mpofu, was quoted urging Zimbabweans to come on 21 September and heckle President Mugabe as he addresses the General Assembly. "Wednesday 21 is very important because this is the day Mugabe is going to give his speech and address the GA" gloated Mpofu.

On the other hand Evan Mawarire of the shadowy #ThisFlag movement "is planning to stage protests daily with Saturday and Wednesday being the major days" in the USA. Shuttle buses will carry demonstrators from various locations to the venue of the demonstrations. "Accommodation is all in place for those travelling from Boston, Massachusetts, Virginia, Texas, Indiana, Philadelphia and Washington DC. Some protestors are booked at The Courtyard Newark Downtown, 858 Broad Street Newark NJ 07002 under the name Zimbabwe Family Reunion Group", boasted one of the organisers of the demonstrations.

Speakers who will address the demonstrators include musician, Thomas Mapfumo, Tajamuka/Sijikile leader, Promise Mkwananzi, Patson Dzamara of the Bring Back Itai Dzamara movement and Dr Noah Manyika of the Build Zimbabwe shadowy group. Organisers claim that thousands of people will participate in the demonstrations.

The demonstrations, scheduled to be held in New York, are calculated to have Zimbabwe put on the Security Council's agenda so that the Council would impose United Nations Chapter seven sanctions on the country. However, Chapter seven sanctions are reserved for governments which threaten international peace and security which is not the case with the government of Zimbabwe. Under these sanctions, the Security Council can authorise usage of force on the sanctioned country. So, with the hostility being exhibited daily on Zimbabwe by the USA and its allies, Zimbabwe risks the danger of being bombed to ashes by these war mongers if they get an iota of approval from the Security Council. However, this will not happen as Zimbabwe's friends, led by Russia and China, will block such a nefarious development as they have done in the past.

In Zimbabwe, opposition political groups are planning to intensify violent demonstrations; during which they will intensify their provocation of law enforcement agents. This is calculated to invite over reaction from security agents which will be used to justify calls for intervention of the United Nations in Zimbabwe.

The malcontents who are organising these protest do not care what will happen to their country, even if it is bombed to ashes by American and British bombs. The shameless charlatans are only interested in lining their pockets with ill gotten money from sponsors of the regime change agenda.

So, the multimillion dollar question is who is sponsoring these demonstrations both in and outside Zimbabwe? A lot of money is needed to feed, transport and accommodate "thousands of people" in American Hotels in preparation for the demonstrations. Where does Mawarire get the money for his family's upkeep as his current occupation is planning daily protests in his quest to malign his country? The cry boy is not employed in the USA but has the financial muscle to organise demonstrations.

The broke former Chimurenga guru, Thomas Mapfumo, has joined the fray obviously for financial gain as his music carrier is currently in dire straits away from home.

Is it not an open secret that sponsors of the regime change agenda, fronted by the British and American governments, have ordered their puppets in Zimbabwe to come together, if they are to receive any funding from their masters, and cause anarchy in the country in pursuit of their wicked agenda? So, the answer to the above question is very apparently clear.
