Robert Mugabe threatened during an election speech in Masvingo,Zimbabwe, to send war veterans back to the bush to wage war against the MDC if it wins the elections.
“We resolved to send our comrades, led by brave men like Cde Zvinavashe who is here, to fight the whites who had taken our land and we will send them back again should Tsvangirai win the elections.’ So we will not hesitate to fight again, than letting the country be ruled by puppets,” he said.
This blatant saber rattling, habitually divisive incendiary political speech, devours any latitude of a peaceful transition after the elections. Imminent civil strife is upon us unless we take pre-emptive corrective countermeasures.
"Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword." (Matthew 26:52-53)
May I prevail upon ordinary Zimbabweans to now stand ready to sacrifice and defend our democracy in a battle that will prevent the continued unnecessary suffering should Mugabe and his generals declare war.
Ecclesiastes 3:8 declares, “there is a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.”
For years we have endured economic mismanagement, the deterioration of health services, hyperinflation, unemployment, incessant shortages of basic commodities, gross violations of our God-given rights and freedoms. It has thus become necessary in the evolution of our independence to eliminate the undesirables.
“We must not cause greater evil than the evil to be eliminated.” Bring it on Robert Mugabe, you’re not the franchise holder for guerilla warfare.
We pray to the Almighty and seek a “mandate from heaven” as we embark on this historic inevitability, facing insurmountable odds, against a seemingly formidable, blatantly arrogant, and ruthless regime.
Divine intervention, our valor, discipline and methodical strategic planning, shall ensure that this war is not defined by innumerable casualties or the wanton destruction of property. Terrorism has no place in our war for “terrorism is not war but a mere undesirable tactic of war.”
We have sufficient numbers that understand our goals and the mission on hand. Our bedrock principle is the rule of law. We yearn for, and seek the dedication, social and political support of all peace loving Zimbabweans as we dismantle this tyrannical Frankenstein and its instruments of terror.
The most important undertaking during a time of war is to pray for Godly wisdom for the brave leaders, the safety of the combatants, quick resolution of hostilities, and minimum casualties on both sides of the conflict.
Mark13:7 “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.”.
We have reluctantly opted to bear arms in order to preserve the future of our land. Let us all pray for a short quick and decisive war.
