Farai Dziva|The MDC youth wing has castigated the attempted abduction of its leader Obey Sithole by suspected state security agents.

See below a statement on on the attempted abduction:

The MDC Youth Assembly is deeply concerned and riled by the fascist antics of state security agents on innocent youth leadership.

It is very shocking and saddening that the state repressive machinery stooped so low by attempting to abduct our Youth Assembly National Chairman for airing public grievances at a television program.

We want to make it categorically clear that that the behavior or misbehavior of state security agents is quite provocative!

Our grievances and concerns about the dwindling economic and political situation are genuine and mirrors the people’s nervous conditions hence can never be solved through abductions, bayonets or bullets.

As an Assembly, we only answer to the voice of reason and that voice is loudly clear that we have to stand for the people.

From every corner and space our people are groaning under the yoke of dictatorship and economic melt down.

Prices are soaring up everyday, there is no electricity, no political freedom and starvation is rampant!

No one from the military regime seems to care, but as young progressive social democrats we do have a future to protect.

It is our generational mandate and duty to serve and save our country from ZANU PF induced extinction.

Statements of Oppah Muchinguri and Victor Matemadanda about the intention to use military force to solve economics are now glaringly unmasking and as an Assembly we are prepared to pay the ultimate price to save our country from extinction.

As an Assembly, we want to make it clear that this military state is poking into our eyes and like normal and concise youths our duty is to retaliate in fashion that will save our country from further economic and political deterioration.
