We know that everyone out there is anxiously waiting for some news.

The thoughts of :

All the hard work in winning this election coming to nought
Facing the prospect of another term for Zanu
Threats of violence being issued by the state all around the country
are a huge worry.


News from a meeting with a trusted operative, shows some light.


We are assured of the following..

Mugabe and his Government is finished and it is only a matter of time before they capitulate
The worst thing we could do now is any form of uprising that would give them an excuse to unleash their violence
There are plans for passive resistance in the near future

Maybe we do not appreciate enough the way African politics work – they certainly were right when they said that Makoni had no grass roots support! We should just keep in touch with them and see where we can assist

The 7 members of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission that have been arrested are all members of the ruling ZanuPF. This is part of an elaborate plan where they will get these poor guys to “confess†to being bribed by MDC officials to rig the results. Obviously in line with all the unbelievable propaganda they are putting out through the media at the moment.

The next plan appears to be ZanuPF paying some thugs to initiate violence whilst wearing MDC T Shirts and shouting MDC slogans.

The one area where we can definitely be effective is by exposing Zanu’s moves before they take place.

How reliable is this information? Not casting any negativity towards the poster who is unknown to me, just asking a question and for possible corraboration.

Reliable. This is from Zim, not me and I am not about to reveal from whom.

Attached is a confidential list with explanatory footnote supplied by a senior member of the Zimbabwe military, who is extremely annoyed and frustrated by the ongoing attempts of the military to achieve the impossible, and provoke a reaction from the mass of Zimbabweans who voted for the end of Mugabe's regime.

Please give this the widest coverage since it is essential that the regional and international community see the extent of the determination by the military to subvert the expressed will of Zimbabweans.

Despite such efforts, it is increasingly clear, both within and outside Zimbabwe, that there is a determined resolve to see an end to Mugabe's regime, which no amount of dirty tricks can prevent.

PV Sibanda will command the operation with the assistance of Maj. Gen. Nick Dube. General Chiwenga will be the overall commander of the operation. He is being assisted by Maj. Gen Last Mugova and Col. S. Mudambo

I met the Zimbabwean high comissinor to Zambia yesterday who insists everything is calm in Zim.which I assume is the official stance.But I have friends in Harare who say otherwise they reckon it is very tense.

Reading these reports remind me of reviewing after action reports filed by members of our A-team: made you wonder if we were in the same fight. we just returned 7april and saw no evidence of violence in Harare, on the road or at the airport. now, that may change if there is a runoff since Zanu-pf has a record of voter intimidation. The results from MDC indicate MDC won a majority in Parliment and if the same ratio held true Morgan also won the presidential race; something that ZANU is disputing although, as late as 7April, the Electoral commission had not released the results. The presidential ballots were collected from the polling places and transported to Harare while the parlimentary results were posted at each polling place.
