MDC National Executive to meet on January 18
January 9th, 2009
The MDC National Executive meets in Harare on 18 January, 2009 to deliberate on critical issues affecting the party and the people of Zimbabwe.
The issues to be discussed include the desperate humanitarian situation characterised by massive starvation in the country and the abductions and arbitrary arrests of party and civic activists on trumped-up charges. The executive will also discuss the state and status of the SADC-brokered negotiated political settlement.
The MDC National Executive meeting comes at a time when all social services, especially education and health, have virtually collapsed. Over seven million people are surviving on food aid while virtually every Zimbabwean is struggling to survive in a dollarised economy.

@ Mugabe (for security reasons) Jan. 13th
Eddie Cross, former white Zimbabwean farmer, and member of the MDC has likened the situation in Zimbabwe to a killer who finds himself locked into the room containing the body of his victim and forced to sitthere while it stinks and rots and the killer himself faces the prospect of dying from thirst and hunger. The reality, he says, is that Zanu-PF finds itself hooked on a line that leads back to a transitional government that will in fact be controlled and managed by MDC with the obligation only to consult and gain consensus with the Zanu-PF minority in its ranks. The fish is therefore fighting the line, but losing the battle. Now they must decide whether to tear the hook out of its mouth and dive into deep water, or allow it to be landed on the beach. In short, Mugabe’s regime can either decide to walk with the deal, or walk into the wilderness.
