SADC Extraordinary Summit Of Heads Of State And Government Didn't Discuss Zimbabwe
1 year agoSun, 05 Nov 2023 09:13:43 GMT
The Southern African Development Community (SADC) had an Extraordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government in Angola on Saturday. However, according to the summit’s communique, there was no discussion about Zimbabwe.
Many people were hoping that the summit would address the political deadlock in Zimbabwe, which started after the disputed August 23, 2023, harmonised elections and was made worse by the removal of several opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) lawmakers from Parliament. The communique only stated:
Summit received an update on the elections in the SADC Member States and noted the report of the SADC Election Observation Mission to the Harmonised Elections in the Republic of Zimbabwe held in August 2023, and the General Elections in the Kingdom of Eswatini in September 2023.
The report mentioned only recommends aggrieved parties use and exhaust domestic remedies, something that journalist Hopewell Chin’ono says “is not possible in Zimbabwe.” He said:
Short of a real tangible crisis in Zimbabwe, SADC won’t do much for Zimbabweans, it is up to Zimbabweans to do something for themselves to resolve the 23-year-old crisis of governance.
After the disputed elections, the CCC party asked SADC to help organise new elections in Zimbabwe. They pointed to a report from a SADC Observer Mission (SEOM) that highlighted irregularities in the previous elections. The CCC believed that fresh elections overseen by an impartial body like SADC, the African Union, or the United Nations should be held instead of relying on the perceived biased Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC).
The party also reached out to SADC when its members were recalled from Parliament and Local Government Authorities. The CCC has been assuring its supporters that help is on the way, but critics have doubted this, as they believe SADC has historically supported parties like ZANU PF, which were part of the liberation movement.

Methinx Zimbos were expecting too much from the outside world viz SADC , AU, EU et al.
These organizations are not well known for proferring solutions before a challenge becomes a. problem. Rather they appear on the scene after things get way out of control.
As is , the Zim situation ain't bad enough for them to take action, they will appear where bombs.& guns are blazing or. where 1000 casualties have been announced on CNN &.BBC.
Other than. that , we. as. Zimbos are , for now , all alone

People have to have some basic understanding of what it is to be called a sovereign state, what independence means. Zimbabwe is not a subject of SADC,AU, EU UN you you name it. There is no authority which can 'command it. to do this or rather. Zimbabwe is a voluntary member to those organisation and commit to following the same systems as others.

SADC was thought to have powers, as an organisation it shows it does not have.. An SADC court or tribunal showed that it could not bite in the issue of Zimbabwean farmers ' compensation and was trashed. With a court or tribunal trashed, would the organisation have remained with people of a legal background to guide it? That tribunal or court was its head, and it was decapitated with the farmers ' issue.
I do not believe that the whole SADC cannot hold a successful online meeting for the less than twenty countries. Online they congratulated each other and invited each other to meet in person for celebration and, possibly, giving each other gifts. What it shows, as has always been said before, is that the organisation is for benefitting the leaders. The people should ignore that organisation and stop considering it in any of their plans, it is not theirs!

God does not exist.
Only gullible people want to believe in God's. The "Washer" (pasters and preachers) brainwash the gullible's so that they have money and power over the gullible's. It's all about money and power.

i like the prophetic message that came from one of personal esteemed prophet from our nation Zimbabwe when he mentioned that where we are heading is a situation whereby the Almighty Father in heaven will come in to cause and effect sudden change when all hope seems to have been lost and gone. He rven quoted a verse inoti "patinopererwa, Mwari vanotangira ipapo".

Dear citizens I'm very sorry to say this but the CCC in now officially dead as a Dodo. Strategic ambiguity has failed big time and exploded in the face of the Twitter president advocate Chamisa. Now who is he going to bark to? Are they going to continue with their abduction theatrics? It is time to call for a vote of no confidence in advocate Chamisa and replace him with a suitable president like former Hon Tendai (Lex)Biti. We need people of action, democracy and maturity to lead this great nation not under the tree presidents like advocate Chamisa.
This is my story and I'm sticking to it.
[ THE BUSH LAWYER4CCC ].

I never had faith in the so-called "strategic ambiguity" BS! What does it even mean? 🤣 It was very misguided for CCC to expect SADC to intervene in the political crisis in Zimbabwe. SADC doesn't work like that! They support ZANU-PF and other "revolutionary" parties in the region.
