RE: Grid
Coordinates for a Pre-emptive Military Surgical Strike to Stop Genocide
Your
Excellency,
The
defenseless civilian population of Zimbabwe hereby begs for your intervention to avert an
impending genocide perpetrated by Robert Mugabe and his cronies. Under
international law you're compelled to take out the threat to civilians before the
threat is capable of the genocide. There is credible evidence that Robert
Mugabe and his illegal military junta are planning to attack unarmed citizens
of Zimbabwe who voted him out of office.
"Preemptive
strike is defined as the use of force against an adversary so as to prevent an
attack, it would otherwise be disastrous to wait for the adversary to take the
first step. Preemption is a strategy to protect civilians if there is an
'imminent threat' to their security. Mobilization of the adversary's army, navy
and air force and the prepositioning of heavily armed forces against unarmed
innocent civilians is an imminent threat, for which, preemptive force is
permissible as an act of self defence."
Though Article 2(4) of the UN Charter prohibits the "threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State," Article 51 says, "nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in exercise of this right of self defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council."
There
should be an armed attack prior to the preemptive strike for Article 51 to be
applied. Robert Mugabe has already attacked unarmed civilians in Zimbabwe and we are appealing for the civilian populace's right
to self defence.
Please find below the grid coordinates for the private homesteads of Robert Mugabe. A well planned preemptive surgical strike on these legitimate military targets will eliminate the command and control elements of the Zimbabwean Joint Military Command, thus avert imminent genocide. The military junta in Zimbabwe poses a clear and present danger to regional stability and which ultimately creates a humanitarian crisis.

Precision
Guided Munitions (PGM's) and remotely piloted vehicle (RPV) technology opens
the possibility of
discrimination and military proportionality. The precision guided munitions will reduce
collateral damage and capable Zimbabwean laser designators will illuminate the
targets on the ground for United Nations aircraft.
The people of Zimbabwe pray for your urgent intervention and await the rapid deployment of the United Nations force to rescue us from the jaws of tyranny.
Kind regards
