Ray Nkosi | MDC President Morgan Tsvangirai’s EU Representative, Elliot Pfebve, has been on an engagement tour within the European Union to talk about next years watershed elections.

Pfebve who recently addressed the EU Parliament in Strasbourg told ZimEye.com : “I explained the current situation in Zimbabwe and how the international community can help. Current situation is both fragile and fluid. The Zimbabweans, the regional bodies and international community has a small window of opportunity to do the right thing; support Zimbabwe to return to rule of law, leverage to ensure electoral reforms are implemented toward a free and fair elections. The respect of human rights must be a priority as we hold the new administration to account on their promises to address politics of polarisation.”

The UK based politician went further to explain, ” We are also cognisant that the departure of Mugabe is no silver bullet to return to normalcy as the Zimbabwean crisis is beyond an individual but rather a system. While it is possible for the administration to show a new political paradigm shift, it is highly unlikely that an event of internal factionalism can liberate the masses of itself.” Warned Pfebve that Zanu PF factional politics were not likely to bring about the envisaged change.
