 Party leader Nelson Chamisa for inciting violence){kind=link}
Zimbabwean police have reportedly said they are now close to arresting opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) Party leader Nelson Chamisa for inciting violence that led to the deadly military crackdown, which left six people dead.
On August 1, armed soldiers were deployed in the capital, Harare, to suppress a protest against delays in announcing results of the country’s first elections without former ruler Robert Mugabe- Gunfire erupted and six people died.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa set up a commission of inquiry, headed by former South African president Kgalema Motlanthe, to probe the killings.
Despite widely published photos and videos showing the Zimbabwean soldiers firing on people in Harare’s streets, army generals said under oath this week that they did not believe the troops shot at people.
The Harare based detective placed a huge portion of blame on the MDC aligned supporters, as he claimed that they were in possession of small firearms.
