GNU status and future

After signing an agreement, RGM sticks on parts, what are in his interest and sabotages everything, what does not.
That doesn't surprise me. He loves playing games with the opposition.
Unfortunately the GNU contract says nothing of substance.
It doesn't? That surprises me. Is the contract available to the public?
So there may be some hidden parts, what give sense to have celebrated about mid of September.
Strange, data... very strange. A document should not omit any hidden agreements. That would be a betrayal to the citizens of Zimbabwe.
Any step behind the MDC-T interpretation would mean unconditional surrender and treason to all MDC voters. If the signing of the agreement ends the MOU conditions, the public is entitled to express peacefully in public, what they agreed to have been signed, what they expect from their leaders and what they think about certain (not global) ZANU and RGM interpretations of the GNU contract and subsequent cabinet forming.
Definitively! Zimbabwe is now a democracy, at least on paper.
The people must express their will visible to the world.
Well, if Mugabe doesn't hold himself to what he agreed to in that power sharing contract, then the peiple should protest, but they might be too afraid.
Will peace be upheld or violence return? That is a crucial question about the value of any (power sharing) agreement similar to GDR situation of 1989.
How did the 1989 reunification process go? Did the East- and West-German governments just merge peacefully? I know nothing about it, beyond the fact the wall came down.
Since I noticed exiled Grace Kwinjeh to have in mind only the Zimbabwe of her own awareness, I wonder what MT knows about Zimbabwe and ZANU history.
And who would Grace Kwinjeh be? Is there any relevance in connection with this power sharing agreement?
Data, you have to realize I have no knowledge of Zimbabwe's history other than that it was called Rhodesia and belonged to England, then was ruled solely by Ian Smith, and then came Mugabe, who ousted all the white farmers. Rudimentary knowledge, that's all!
from your link:
Quote:[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Once ZIPRA was disbanded, my usefulness to Robert Mugabe’s government was at an end. My office became more than ever a backwater. Cabinet documents arrived too late for me to consider them. I was not consulted on security matters. I was not even told about appointments to the civillian public service. The ZANU central committee had taken over the functions of the cabinet and of parliament.
I spoke out against all this, in parliament and on public platforms. But I stayed strictly within the limits of a free democracy - although in the admittedly strange role of a member of the government who was also its severest critic. I could not bring myself to believe that democracy was breaking down so soon after it had been introduced. The alternative to open criticism was a retreat into illegal opposition, with all the dangers - including of renewed civil war - that it could bring to Zimbabwe. This is utterly rejected. Yet now I was to be accused of exactly the conduct that I had done so much to avoid. (p229)[/FONT]

That shows Mugabe started his game-playing right from the start.
