When she appeared on Thursday night, Justice Priscilla Chigumba showed up on TV with a visibly bludgeoned face, blood skin-under showing. 

This is disturbing: international Community should intervene;

There is HCI (Highly Classified Information) leaked and doing rounds: Junta Plots to assassinate Priscilla Chigumba in a bid to implicate the MDC Alliance. Chigumba received a thorough lecture on consequences she would face if she announce a Chamisa presidency. The results she was forced to announce were not verified and signed by Chief election agents. Also the results don’t tally so does not match.

Meanwhile, serious fissures have emerged between Defence Forces General Valerio Sibanda and Constantino Chiwenga. The fissure are seriously widening.

Defence Forces General Valerio Sibanda is reported to have denied that soldiers were sent to quell suspected riots. Sibanda is rumoured to have told journalists that his troops had not been anyway near the area where shooting had taken place. He suggested that the armed men must have been common criminals or soldiers under someone else’s command.

Who is this someone? Could be Chiwenga or ED. According to ED, quoting from our Constitution, police can call support from the military.

s.213(2) Deployment of Defence Forces

Police can’t just call the military President must authorise.
