We must ALL demonstrate

imously agreed
that WE should mobilize ourselves and show solidarity with whatever the
opposition has in store to demand Zimbabweans’ freedom back.

As the peaceful demonstrations start, we expect some vicious retaliation by
government machinery. We even expect a lot of casualties and funerals.
Therefore as the sons and daughters of Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe take to the
streets throughout the country, we shall picket at the borders, at all the
Zimbabwean embassies and consulate offices in the neighbouring countries.
We have already been in touch with our Batswana and Zambian counterparts and
they have agreed to take action.

We are, however, having problems with our members in Mozambique who seem to
be afraid of the Mozambican government.

If the people in Zimbabwe have decided that enough is enough, let’s give
them all the support we can, both morally and financially.
The MDC headquarters have agreed to keep us informed of the dates and
activities that they have lined up. We request all Zimbabweans in the
diaspora to get ready for action. We shall keep everybody posted of any
developments.

We encourage the soldiers and police not to shoot their own brothers and
sisters.

Also in the meeting, everybody agreed that the people of Malawi should be
applauded for their stance against Mugabe’s visit. They have joined South
Africans in condemning bad governance by a regional leader. Remember when
COSATU was at the border and at the embassy!
