I have to be ok youre watching the stream home edition we are talking about zimbabwe today because you you sent us hatchbacks including zimbabwean lives matter for a full symbolic way and frisium bob what hes going on and. We are asked who is correspondent in southern africa. The mood in zimbabwe changes depending on whats going on at a particular time sometimes people say they feel relatively free to express themselves but sometimes they are reluctant like u. B. S. Days off someone to comment on this state of the economy and the person to say im too reluctant to do so im too scared to do so because what if i Say Something that someone doesnt like what could happen to me or my family but its safe to say the mood up by the economy is that of general frustration this is what you see every day outside banks across the country is a serious cash shortage in zimbabwe which means people can wait for hours outside of bad trying to access their money but when they get to the front of the line they sometimes told the moneys run out inflation is now more than 800 percent that means the price of almost everything in the country keeps going up and a lot of people are saying they actually under these Economic Conditions members of the Catholic Church and human rights lawyers say this has been an unprecedented attack on dissent t. F. For weeks dozens of people have been arrested for trying to protest. Over the economy and corruption in government but the bobbies government says they is in no crisis here then 1st those people attacking them are being nice by western embassies who are trying to undermine the state and stop the bobbies economy from recovering. We see you audience already standing by on you cheap or interested to hear your comments your questions are also on twitter joining this conversation say you can too you too can be part of the story. Welcome guest im going to get you to introduce yourself to International Audience hello fads i tell everybody. Hello everyone my name is foot sign my hand and i am the National Spokesperson of the main opposition m. D. C. Alliance good to have you welcome to the stream introduce yourself. To give very much my home is already over them but i am good director of information and bubbly said was. It is good to have you day well welcome to the stream and tell everybody. My name is there are some after the character and human rights watchs thank you good to have you guess so the reason were having this conversation is because were hearing news out of zimbabwe but not just in the news for lines from actual zimbabweans who follow the stream who want to talk to us and want to talk to the world about zimbabwe so you have a look here on my laptop hyphen yeah ok can you help us bring global attention to the human rights abuses in africa another tweet. This is what is commonly happening is in a more to be honest if youre not in same or not involved in police still helps in bobby and spike bringing awareness to this and just let me have a look at the human rights. For zimbabwe im just going to get down here some of the stories that were looking at end here in the prison conditions of activists in zimbabwe zimbabwe should denounce crackdown day well. What is the situation like in zimbabwe if hes just feet old to always see something that has changed too recently to make citizens want to speak out. Or zimbabwe is in crisis. Over 60 percent of the winds the military now of course they need food aid they must soup or option of as there wasnt government. Because ness is doctors do not have enough to work to. Over 19 protective equipment and when they complain when the court says the government is not listening to deploy is heavy handed Security Forces to crash in crypto or critics so what we have is an escalation of abuses and if failure by the government of zimbabwe to resolve very genuine issues that citizen and this is what is no results in you know this becoming going to be an important course in risky government is who do or dont want to delete but i see not in doing it. I could not agree more just on the better 1st of july i was one of those that has those who stepped out and they are looking not as enough we are sick and tired of the hunger crisis as dual pointed out 8600000 zimbabweans. Hyperinflation currently sits at 840 percent its day 62 of the nurses strike where in the Global Pandemic if this doesnt spell crisis to one i dont know what if instead of the government ing gauging with this crisis you know they respond with haley handedness of the most inordinate kind youve got soldiers everywhere instead of the government facing citizens who raise concerns and say look weve got wage erosion prices are going up we cannot afford to live they come down with Police Brutality we were protesting the other days and i held up a placard in my neighborhood that simply stated no violence save the baby trees im barred way and after that peaceful protest that was socially distance that was completely say in war are you get arrested and you spend the night in jail having spent the night in jail you know all your lawyer has made a simple request can you please fumigate the jail cell the police refuse which is a complete os because of the very charges that you face a bench of breaking coed relation congregations and so you see that even though the pretext of the lockdown the de facto state of emergency. Even though the government is that look the reason were doing this is covert 19 you can tell that its a desire to clamp down on basic freedom and so when we say zimbabweans in crisis them vote with an ice pack and what we mean. And when 160 people are abducted or terrorized young women or fictionally assault or rape guns bishop speak out and instead of a Government Order for an independent investigation into the torture was very catholic bishops are labeled a long line dirt are labeled genocide or whatever highly problematic similarly it is a legitimate government Spokes Person in this conversation we should allow to that to actually speak so were really aware of the economic challenges in zimbabwe but that is not the critique not to the greatest critique the greatest critique is how you deal with people who are speaking out who are protesting who had. Thank you for my show on death and over much to our desire for giving us this one about opportunity except in a time of to maybe make this very clear its quite unfortunate to have brought into it to visit from the simple to go party one disguised as a Civil Society activists but now the tone of the language speaks again to the same one thing which is going to unfortunate that remains to take some time to respond to poor people was quoted from the same Political School of thought which of them dizzy quite unfortunate but mad simply said as well unfortunate that you know i look at the father mona quite an upcoming politician or as you know one of the simpsons have activists if you weeks ago if i mean a few months ago shes a president that is just a joy to them dizzy as it were and despite issue this is just a time to make sure that she becomes irrelevant in a new political. Found a political matter that she was quite well is if your mother will wins a contested elections not as an m. Deceptive it but as an independent official a president has just been picked for this is to become a spokesperson of what she calls as a prisoner of the 2nd amendment a Political Party in the country so alan lets turn now to the just to wonder what they want us to waste our time and i dont want to i dont interrupt you even when i dont waste your time picking on the particular gas the gas did not suggest a program symbolically and suggested the program so recent to me is this so my question wasnt my question was if it i mean it isnt relevant to restate your time because of your conversation with facts i anytime we can have this conversation or turn the requests she was their response to the protests the response to people speaking out but the early in his analysis is locked. Literally there has not been an significant protest in this country want to do whatever she is talking about now you say i have worked with some other time to talk with for they but you allowed it to refer to order to constance when she said she was arrested while ordering a placard but you know that across the world we are jurisdictions all nations across the world in look bones of one where all of the others but was not an exception went to south africa where people are rubber bullets and for engaging in unnecessary crowding and where demonstrations have literally been a suspended letter to ensure that the government the jurisdiction is running i mean or rather the mission against this identical called a covered 1000. 00 now if i were going to ask you what was for the doing of this just now she goes about lighting a litter of lighting it is putting it that they have been objections in this country when we know that there have been affecting abductions that have it i was in a desperate attempt to recover the result to one irrelevance the Political Movement has suffered 2 things which i need to bring to the tension of this discussion one that built this method by a court ruling which nullified the president of the present that she thinks or she can have too little else knows and number 2 theres some Political Parties looting and it has been splitting several times and recently they dont have a headquarters and she can testify to that said the other source kind of leader now that the m. D. C. In the sympatico but theres a club to come from they have disappeared 12000000 years but i will take a lot of the 2000000. 00 from the Political Partys finance x. Which you cannot account for now she thinks that going on an International Data to undermine the efforts of our government on the efforts of zambia way no it doesnt work zimbabwes as a citizen who has accepted this will say it is a ravaged by private 1000 but not to the extent that other nations even within the fringes of awkward doesnt suffer where peaceful people will under disturbed by it does but at the click of such an sich as in the relevant seegers we have rest until it doesnt take into account. The mystical take of course what you just have to think and what you hear you had a government and he has an opposition is less of him. Very different i want to bring in nigel hes a media elm tree and hes a political activist so you know where hes coming from but he said what happened that he has difficulty in even just voicing issues that he would like to bring up his nigel so my kids will experience who the police were crazy. Are. The most regional visitors trinitron the. Live of who it was going to underage because. Were in the 2nd volley give you can create express and there and. Its only with the. Present case because ready they gave 2 hours a day for ready am in the morning and then they took me to his decision who is as forcing as. The words of people who are not free to express that themselves d and that what we and. To say that. They are this is problematic if people cant speak out in zimbabwe this feels like it is not zimbabwe 2020 that its zimbabwe from the past. Youll feel its absolutely and you. Even worse because you know youre ok one year to produce a new democracy a program. Change from the mugabe government well we have sinned and. Theres been increasing christian. State institutions that should be protecting human rights youve been sent out against this it is that there is no freedom there has been every right in cases of duction. In all of these cases knows that its been tortured. To turn against the government and in many cases lets have been dont we stationed in charge of. The government. In malta why distant and never without me its never been tested. Before. Or christian or no and wondered if you zoom in to do voice of the people dream again with june and since there has been. What you. Call it and then we have a 6 dispute is going to sell outs and. Distance. For. Prominent journalists and they. Were exposed to high level corruption in zimbabwe and instead of being protected for that they have been that is what is been in jail since july 20. Second to commit violence simply because you spoke out and saves not or option so there has been an increase in the use of institutions to out of us citizens with you are going to be. No way to tend to because. Against them. Its quite unfortunate this is what im talking about of course let you move from nor the like what i said earlier where i have said what we have soon isnt as known as issues of social media and the deliberate the spreading of fossils nephi us propaganda of that d ended ensuring that the image of this country and its leadership is undermined when the global stage and murdoch to bring this to your attention of the attention of the listeners that the 2 guests of that have brought you here to represent organizations that have been part of the you is for import is projection with regard to this country that part of that for their mother to come from is called them desire loans that is the part that invited some to that this country selling the successful getting out of the little form into those it should not do it is not but she knows that did not cut it in the election in analogous even you can have alternative voices it would be ridiculous if we put free people who zanu p. F. Into the idea that you cannot have a conversation with other voices that is not democracy let me let em let me push on a little bit because you started with that point and were up with teach us with a show and are still making the same point let me bring in Something Else because there are really the real challenges our challenges this in barbary has right now for instance theres still a problem if you were to lecture me on what we have to talk about you dont have to give me an opportunity to answer im talking about the what is it that it was a definite when theres a website i merely meant define as you know ricky you already said that i hear you and you already said that once and i dont feel that we spent the entire little government it was a little bit more about a 9 or in a dead would say lens but relatively little bit of the symmetry of america you had the majority of the conversation to thats what moving on im not having conversation about the conversation how do look here i am to see that we impose this curfew to spiking coronavirus there are some real challenges in zimbabwe and let me share this with you these other thoughts not from the guests in the lineup but from other people who are in the scene so chris sensed that the coverage response theres no coherent response no input from top house the specials and well surely know uncoordinated testing. Loosing the house to the tree system is completely collapse the only coping by morning our loved ones many coping by morning i loved ones and burying them some of them i dying in hospital car parts this takes us beyond opposition politics and sanity piaf this talks to how youre coping with a crisis many countries a struggling to cope with to go ahead i dont think i need to go ahead probably i did probably get this interview because im not having a conversation with me and im sure general of us who respect just as a know very well that youre talking me you dont want me to turn or what to us can lead me to keep what we keep asking me or do we have a conversation were up a bit to each other i dont think this is all you have to do another guess where but to tell you what we know about the organiser thats absurd or that a single social media didnt deliberate attempt the sensational is nonexistent prezs is a right he has really made actually into at least 3 tie so i am trying and trying very hard to push us normal and i dont think. We can ever to be gagged im telling you argue dont know and what weve been led to hear now that midnight a problem because of the modern era if you have friends that have established that what listeners are becomes a problem would you like to talk about coronavirus a shy move on to the. I mean i want to hear about all of us but so far i havent heard about anything because you cant allow me to answer please go ahead talk about coronavirus and the challenges that zanu p. F. Are having. Thank you very much like any other country in this world there is no country that has not been ravaged by call of viruses and the disease or the pandemic has left untold suffering political social and economic zimbabwe is not an exception even from the country. From which a broadcasting it is not an exception and our neighbors it is not an exception but this is what we have done with the little that we have as a country that is one under sanctions invited by the 2 individuals that are in here with this endeavor im talking about them we will do that kind of use the thing as an adult on Foreign Relations to decide on continuation and extension of sanctions against this kind it is the reason why o. S. B. Those are physical challenges it is the reason why i want to quit his present gelett just was there where peoples of made an exemption is what ensure that we screw him i mean our economy is crammed our economy is bentley damaged and when that happens they then support of the people from zambia in the niger religion change and now its quite unfortunate that the 2 individuals of this interview want to should quote out just by appearing or wedding to pretend and lets go to israel settling for the best and they are this interview will tell you that they are in reality you are irrelevant as is an average. Manatee on the way out by just an exception because we are repeating our sounds we can round and round in circles so let me just bring in a new voice when tatting is talking about the way forward. Is an answer i. When she would like her country simply and right now this is a listen but of the Biggest Challenges we have right now as a country is the should get to their attic space to team she needs even time and money to. Give an example of how much how the milk i mean is so damn are you going to missile 60000000. 00 worth of call it not been the farm and any given to the military is one of the 3 men and then you can serve you thats a whole tuner were only one of those ministers are you not the government for failing to deal with. This current behind of the day we cannot. Continue to push them to get. Them to do to the whole entire council that. In this kind of loop in addition to their hunting. For safe is has been an interesting strain conversation because we spent so much of it talking about the lineup which is a very unusual thing to do if with thinking about what its real issues when the in opposition. In a sentence what would she say. I think the critical thing is that for once there is a need to put the people. As you can see them by the way is on in schools because of poverty and Justice System corruption the bad governance crisis that has been caused by the regimes have pointed out the Public Health system is on its way and in. Home and the public now all of them wildly and cannot after they have Public Health care at the moment weve got a very uncoordinated testing system which has seen you know the cost of a diagnostic test as high as 16 u. S. Dollars better than less than a nurse and currently as i pointed out that stacy 62. 00 a mess a strike the minister of Health Community appointed hasnt used them match those nurses so as a way forward with the need for urgent political dialogue number one big need for the leading Political Parties as well as Civic Society a need for everyone to come to the table theyve been need for Regional Intervention in this crisis even if you look at the rhetoric thats coming out of the regime you hear mr mann that was speaking of the need to flush out of comments speaking of position and government critics as being dark or its a bad apple and speaking of you know it doesnt mean either of i mean i didnt bring in the books and i want to bring in the press. I hear i would win the president s race into the conversation this is preston of zimbabwe because he pushes the conversation just a little bit forward so we hear what the opposition is talking about and hear the response from. History have a listen to the press and it will become a terms that this debate as it. Did but who futile rogue. Acting in league with detractors the bread that his attempt. To divide our people and to do with him i want systems will be flushed. So im just looking at some other comments on earth were going to go for it and its all of us and we were hearing that its but its been are now and around so gilbert schools are in shocking state doctors and nurses run away to other countries to earn a living im looking for some pros and p. F. Comments and im not finding them you know its really hard for a discussion to loni says that town she see that sunny yet is making people suffer zimbabwe is on sanctions because as yet and so on and so on this is a difficult conversation to have because we have opposition voices here we have voices here and it is difficult to abuse it wouldnt i think. Some challenges that zimbabwe has right now devotes well i do appreciate you being in this conversation but sipc in de la thanks and the chief as well as his family are ok signing off and didnt mean to chip in line to discuss. The city. And. Business leaders. By now brushed past. Business leaders does vote to buy no brass pop. Frank assessments seeing back in yemen 6 percent of the relation life is being sought this was an informed opinion which is ethiopia on the verge of a breakdown in many parts of the omi a region are actually under a de facto state of emergency and critical debate of that is a proxy he does not have recently enters the bolivian people indepth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on aljazeera. I know im Maryam Namazie in london a quick look at the headlines now protesters in baton rouge have defied the president s warnings of a crackdown on dissent Alexander Lukashenko has told Law Enforcement agencies to restore order on the streets but protesters in minsk are continuing to pile on the pressure accusing the president of rigging his election victory earlier this month and urging him to step down staff at a state run Chemical Plant of walked off the job joining other factory workers whove been calling for a nationwide general strike of protest as a found support with the European Union which has announced new sanctions and says it wont recognize the Election Results so fast and was that one of the main protests in the center of the capital where large crowds turned out despite the president s threats look here in the day very tense no protest riot police was back on the streets. Threatening with another crackdown so people got really worried and scared again but look at this square now hundreds have showed up again defying anything that the president has been threatening theyre calling for him to be they say youre fired. And they want him to be brought to justice so the mood has actually not changed at all or after all so the threats have been hollowed it was also a lot of speculation earlier in the day that moscow was getting involved because there was a plane there from moscow that had
