Staff Reporter | The United States government has just issued the brother of missing activist Itai Dzamara, Patson, with a visa to join now exiled Pastor Evan Mawarire in anti-President Robert Mugabe protests at the United Nations.
Mawarire who led the first successful national mass action against Mugabe’s regime fled the country citing state harrassment and that Zanu PF militia threatened to rape his wife. Mugabe who was rumoured to have died, appeared this morning, not his usual feisty self and still not able to explain to a skeptical nation his sudden disappearance, is expected to attend next week the next United Nations General Assembly. It has become custom for the 92 year old leader to use UN events to vent his anger against western powers and opposition from home against his rule. This time round the man other dictators love to love, has much waiting for him as Zimbabweans converge on President Barack Obama’s land to tell him enough is enough.
Zimbabwean activists will haunt him in what is now dubbed #ShutDown New York, similar to the ongoing protests actions in Zimbabwe which have shaken Mugabe’s rule.
However, speculation is rife as to whether Dzamara will return to Zimbabwe or decide to join the millions of Zimbabwe’s Diaspora, including Mawarire who decided to stay out.
