Zimbabwe Coup Speech (ad hoc transcript): Comrade Mugabe and his family are safe and sound and his security is guaranteed, only criminals around him are being targetted. As soon as mission is accomplished, situation shall return to normalcy...
Judiciary= Independent authority shall be exercised without obstruction by these elements. Parliament = Legislative role important for peace and stability in this country. Dispensation where service via democratic tenents possible. People of Zimbabwe- Stay calm and avoid movement
Our wish is you enjoy your rights and freedoms and Zimbabwe returns to prosperity. Political Parties- Encourage members not to engage in violent behavior. Youth- Future of this country is yours, don't be enticed by dirty coins of silver. Churches - Pray for our country and
preach gospel of love, unity and development. To our people beyond our borders, we want to make it clear this is not a military takeover of government. What we are doing is to pacify restlessness if not addressed could lead to violent conflict.
Zimbabwe Defense forces- All leave is canceled, return to barracks immediately. Traditional Leaders- Provide leadership for sake of unity & development in the country. Other security forces- Provocation shall be met with appropriate response. Media - Report fairly and responsibly
End. No name given at the end of non-coup, coup broadcast.

Army on Radio Zimbabwe right now - say that safety of Mugabe and family guaranteed - "only targeting criminals around him" - hope everything will soon "return to normal" - still address Mugabe as "President and Commander in Chief".

Zimbabwe is already in a military regime through Mugabe....

Ok

The person seeking to replace mugabe is a former spy chief so brutal that his nickname is the crocodile..it's not a new Dawn for #zimbabwe..just for #thecrocodile and his band of merry men.

Too much suffering in Africa.

Wetin we do bad leaders?
