Police officers at Runde,2012.Picture by Giza.
Police in Ruwa  yesterday banned an MDC rally scheduled to take place at Mavambo shopping cent re,. organized by organising party and secretary leader Nelson Chamisa,claiming they had no enough man power as the bulk of them would be on duty on the Dynamos and Moto Action game.

Reports by the Daily news suggests that the MDC-T provincial secretary had been cleared by the police on Wednesday to conduct the rally but was served with a cancellation letter on Saturday.

Parties have started campaigning for the 2012 presidential elections which are expected early this year.Such disturbances were the characteristics of  previous harmonized elections where police flogged supporters of certain parties and banned them.

Their reason  of canceling the rally is totally unjustifiable as the whole lot of police can not  be said  go to the stadium as if people were rioting.This means that there is still no sanity in issues of the police as the apparatus of the State once more.

file photo Harare. President Mugabe on Friday criticized the Eu's decision to maintain sanctions  against the country's leadership and accused it of trying to topple its leader. The Eu's 27 member state extended an arms embargo and a freeze on development aid for Zimbabwe for another six months. They did how ever remove a third of other people affect on assets freeze and company bans doing business with 20 Zimbabwe entities. This move by the Eu is to  still monitor  the move of the government of Zimbabwe in conducting the elections this year.The government remains isolated ,as the president is still restricted from the international community.I think the Eu knows that if they slacken the targeted sanctions a little bit ,this will give room for some diamond trade  business ,so that the economy remains put in a way.
