Events of the past weeks in our motherland have further exposed realities of what we have always expressed; we do not have leadership in this country, those who occupy decision making positions are inherently taking positions that make us perpetual sufferers and victims of untold pain.

We have an illegitimate regime that continues to lie to the world that theirs is a new dispensation yet the only new thing in their in existence in the perfection of that past acts of evil that manifest in corruptocracy, arbitrary arrests, human butchery, torture and total disregard of constitutionalism.

The challenges are multiple and in their exacerbation, the ordinary Zimbabwean remains at the receiving end, the poor are arrested for being poor; the hungry are beaten for being hungry and the democrats are tortured for falling in love with democracy.

Our sisters are bedridden, treating wounds from abductions and torture meticulously orchestrated by those supposed to be protecting them, the generality of the citizenry continue to endure the stripping off of their dignity.

The crisis we face is clear and visible to us all, its description may unnecessarily take long hence the need to focus on the prescription, speakable resolutions alone are not enough to answer the questions of the day but seeable actions will take us far.

The scars brought to us by this brutal regime must serve as a reminder to us on the task that lie ahead of us, a task of mobilizing each other and exercising our Constitutional right to express our displeasure against the ED regime that has brought more cries than joys to the people of Zimbabwe.

Fellow Zimbabweans; we have a choice to make, either to perish in our disunity or to flourish in our unity; choosing the latter will rebuild our nation, there is no action too small to put a revolution in motion.

Every form of a reform follows a revolution, let’s do it for our nation!!!
