Now that SADC is over, Can ED please release our people!

The much touted SADC summit that has caused untold suffering among peaceful loving Zimbabweans and a trail of abductions, tortures and unjustified incarcerations has come and gone.

The summit was much ado about nothing!

A dump squib!

They came, they ate (and drank too) and left. The usual bunch, protecting each other from citizens. It is never about people for ED and his SADC acolytes. It is about power. And they kill for power.

Can someone tell us a single implementable resolution that we have never heard before? Anything new from the summit?

A likable opposition leader Jameson Timba, who would never kill a green bomber, and 78 others, celebrating the international youths day were beaten, tortured and thrown in dungeons just because Mnangagwa keeps seeing shadows lurking towards his stolen throne. Pro-democracy activists, human rights activists such as Namatai, arrested for being where they were never been, are still languishing because a whole Octogenarian felt that a little girl such as Namatai would wrestle the stolen robes from him.

They have also arrested Prince Dubeko Sibanda another opposition torch bearer at the Beitbridge border post as he returned from South Africa, ostensibly at the orders from above. Arresting orders are now coming from Zanu PF functionaries to the police headquarters and the central intelligence. If they could, they would have us all arrested. In fact, they actually would have wanted us all killed and leave themselves and their families to live. Everyone is a threat to their loot. Unfortunately, that judgement is beyond them no matter how they want us out the way. It is their fallibility that still make us believe that one day, in spite of all these abuses, we shall rule over ourselves.

Now that the summit is come and gone, can the regime now release our people? We need them to be home with their families. The affable Timba needs to be with his family. The 1 year old baby jailed with its mother needs to be home, if there is still ever such a thing called home in Zimbabwe. What makes a home has since been snatched from us by the regime. Families are torn apart since Emerson took over. Home is now wretched.
