MDC-T, #ThisFlag take demo to UN

A SECTION of the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA), which recently severed ties with President Robert Mugabe’s administration, has threatened to engage the international community to force government to restore democratic rule.

Addressing journalists in the capital yesterday, ZNLWVA secretary-general Victor Matemadanda said they were going to re-engage the Western countries so that they could help democratise Zimbabwe as well as improve the ex-fighters’ well-being.

“We (as war veterans) have realised that we have never been on the agenda of Zanu PF and what this means from now on, we are going to re-engage those that were supposed to compensate us, including the British, Americans, and the United Nations,” he said.
