Outside an election- there is no legal authority of representation. It becomes a dictatorship. The veneer of democracy evaporates and the mist of rule by fist settles on the lintels of future. We of many words & tweets.

No Zimbabwean wants our former colonizers interfering in our internal affairs. However, we must recall that when the crimes against humanity of Rhodesia’s Unilateral Declaration of Independence, apartheid in South Africa, and the persecution of Palestinians took place, ZANU PF and the international community sought solidarity and assistance from the same Western capitals and multilateral institutions that pressured those governments to end their crimes against humanity. Even while we were under illegal U.S., UK, and EU sanctions, we also approached the UN Human Rights Council, and lobbied SADC, the AU, the U.S. Congress, international human rights lawyers and even citizens of other Western countries to assist us in pressuring these governments to end the illegal sanctions they had on innocent Zimbabwean civilians—which they did. The whole reason people went to these nations and multilateral institutions is because those governments did not offer the innocent civilians they were persecuting justice through their local courts; they also persecuted those who complained, suppressed their voices and right to protest against these injustices. Now, as the Zimbabwe Human Rights Council notes, the Zimbabwean government has reached a point where it too does not allow opponents of Constitutional Amendment Bill 3 to air their views, protest in the country, or express dissent. Individuals are imprisoned, tortured, abducted or harangued into exile. As a consequence, Zimbabweans are often times displaced into foreign countries, where they are forced to protest before the same foreign governments that ZANU PF once approached for support during the liberation struggle, to dislodge an obdurate and oppressive regime. The tables have now turned, with the Zimbabwean government increasingly playing the role of oppressor, depriving its own citizens of their fundamental rights to freedom from torture, free speech, free thought, free movement and free association. All this is the result of a government that has shrunk the democratic space, is muzzling dissent and pushing activists to raise their concerns from foreign capitals, all to push an unpopular Bill without following the constitution. We warned that the approach being taken to extend the President’s term would lead to human rights violations, violence, and suppression of opposition in a way that would attract the attention of the international community—potentially provoking responses that risk undermining the legacy that the current President is trying to build. We are living in a new era where even the most resource-rich nations can no longer conceal human rights abuses, as mobile phones and cameras now capture and broadcast international crimes, globally, in real time. This is not the time for ZANU PF to assume it can rule by “might is right” without expecting retaliation from nations that thrive off on the same principle. The problem the Zimbabwean government has now, is it no longer has an intelligence system or smart advisors who tell leaders the truth, to prevent national security threats that our government is now summoning.

Haha an entire weekend with me and she hasn't received a single call. She thinks I'm new to this game.
