Zimbabwe Vigil’s statement on the coup

At the moment the coup in Zimbabwe is a dispute within the ruling Zanu PF. But it is clear that it is in support of ousted Vice-president Mnangagwa.

Emmerson Mnangagwa

He is known to have the support of the UK and US and maybe also China and South Africa.  He apparently has plans to form a transitional authority including MDC leader Tsvangirai. This could be supported by the  Vigil provided there were external controls ensuring that Zanu PF was not again allowed to sideline the opposition and continue the Zanu PF reign of corruption, violence and nepotism.

Our position is that we will support any efforts that bring about a representative transitional arrangement leading to a free, fair and credible election. We are for a true and genuine democracy that respects human rights.
