Good afternoon Zimbabweans. I am going to read out the DECLARATION.

We, who represent the majority members of the Zimbabwe diaspora numbering: 5,653,400 people, do declare as follows:

That we have valid reasons to prove to the world that the Zimbabwean nation, its government, and its courts have been captured by electoral fraud of a very serious magnitude and sophistication that has violently and criminally robbed the MDC Alliance and the majority of Zimbabweans of their legitimate vote.

We have undeniable evidence and proof to avail that Nelson Chamisa’s party on the 30th July 2018, won the popular vote by a wide majority against Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Zanu PF.

We further have reason and evidence to show that Nelson Chamisa’s party the MDC Alliance on the 30th July 2018, won the elections by a majority, nationally.

That we have reason and proof to show that at local government level that Nelson Chamisa on the 30th July 2018, won the elections by a majority nationally.

That we have reasons to show that there is a horrific state capture, and one of a very serious and a criminal nature perpetrated by ZANU PF and their counterparts in the army and the police and we hereby invoke criminal law proceedings at a local and international level. We further invoke electoral laws as provided by the Zimbabwe Constitution at national level. The Constitution is the only charter that provide the citizens’ fundamental rights and obligations and we are hereby exercising those rights which must be respected as provided for by law.

We invoke and engage SADC and African Union (AU) protocols on elections who are the legal custodians and responsible bodies of these protocols in any electoral challenges.

Above all this, we invoke public interest, and human morals – public interest to the Zimbabwean people locally and also as a matter of public interest to the international community;

We declare that as is reflected, there is no government in Zimbabwe, either awaiting or constituted in Zimbabwe at the present moment. We show cause with undeniable evidence that there is a criminal regime at present acting with impunity as state actors and harassing innocent citizens who are denied their fundamental rights as citizens to air their grievances . We also want to show cause why we believe that there is a terrorist organisation called ZANU PF running Zimbabwe illegitimately under military dictatorship since the ouster of the former president Robert Mugabe in a coup de tat in November 2017 . The same have of late captured the executive and interfered with the judiciary matters i.e courts of Zimbabwe. Their heavy handedness is in dealing with the voices of dissent cannot be ignored by the international community.

This is the group which began killing people on Wednesday the 1st August 2018, and have continued to terrorise our communities and at worst denying any responsibility of their actions but instead blaming the opposition.The list of continued terrorism is hereby noted.

We declare that ZANU PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa by declaring himself Zimbabwe’s Supreme Court Judge who will rule and rule while people who oppose him continue suffering under his scorched earth policies, has revealed that he possesses extra judicial powers to interfere with judicial verdicts, as was seen with the Tendai Biti case for public violence. We further deplore the actions of the Zambian gvt to ignore a court order and this is nevertheless a surprising trend in African politics that the governments meddle in judicial verdicts.

As a result of this sham election and massive electoral theft by ZANU-PF, facts are more than clear that Emmerson Mnangagwa has not only violated the Constitution of Zimbabwe but he is in blatant disregard and flagrant breach of the citizens’ fundamental rights and his contempt of court displays the kind of tyranny that has gripped the nation as whole.

We declare that Zimbabwe has fallen into the abyss of a failed and pariah state and we urge the international community not to pay lip service to the problems affecting our country but action must be taken to bring those responsible for the human rights abuses and those defying the rule of law to be identified and punished. It is unfortunate that our country Zimbabwe has fallen prey to a person and a party that is in perpetual violation of the constitution and frustrating the wishes of the majority.

This declaration is backed by millions of Zimbabweans who are in the diaspora and eager to see change and have their voices heard backed by millions who are suffering locally.

This declaration is made by the nearly 6 million Zimbabweans who are based in the diaspora who are not necessarily affiliated to Nelson Chamisa(many who are Emmerson Mnangagwa’s own supporters), but are Zimbabweans acting on legal, constitutional, moral and public interest grounds.

This declaration is made today on the ….
