Paul Nyathi|Self exiled former cabinet minister, Professor Jonathan Moyo has called on regional and international bodies, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) African Union (AU) United Nations (UN) and the International Community at large to slap Zimbabwe with more sanctions, charging that a government that deploys soldiers to kill civilians deserves punishment.

Writing on his micro-blogging Twitter account on Thursday, Moyo, said Zimbabwe must be punished for what he described as a ‘military government.’

Wrote Moyo:

SANCTIONS are the only peaceful means available to the international community to reign in a military govt that grabs power through violence, uses violence to stay in power & subverts the will of the people by sending its Army to massacre unarmed, fleeing protesters & bystanders! https://t.co/Bghqa2mo3i

The merchants of violence must face sanctions whether they are in or out if power. That’s the only way to end 38 years of impunity & o move forward to a truly new Zimbabwe under the rule of law; and not the rule of violent men!
