The United States of America became independent on July 4, 1776 and is 242 years old today. MDC_NAP joins the progressive world in saying Happy Independence Day America!

As we also celebrate and enjoy America’s independence and freedoms that came at a great cost, we grow more resolute in our aspirations and goals to bring the same democracy, rights and freedoms Americans enjoy to Zimbabwe. We also learn from America’s history that the cost of freedom is steep and that, once gained, the democracy and the freedoms must be guarded and protected every day.

The process towards the democratization of Zimbabwe has been long and difficult and has piqued the interest of powerful and democratic countries like the USA. MDC-NAP is grateful for the , humanitarian and educational support by the USA to us the struggling people of Zimbabwe as we strive to bring democracy and freedom to our nation.

We thank you America for the support that is significantly helping shape Zimbabwe’s path to political, economic and human rights freedoms and the democracy that is our right.
