The youth assembly said considering President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his government\u2019s \u201carrogant and ignorant approach\u201d to the crisis facing the nation, it is important for national institutions and organisations to stand together \u201cas they have not been spared by the wretched policies and leadership.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cAs the nation faces intense difficulty, uncertainty has engulfed our country. The illegitimate Zanu PF government has failed; disastrous leadership has become a serious threat to the people of Harare and Zimbabwe at large. The people\u2019s revolution is ripe and we call every citizen to join, we are all affected by the current economic situation, no one should be left behind,\u201d the statement said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The youth league said the upcoming \u201crevolution\u201d will be joined by civil servants, the education sector, health sector, vendors, transport operators, students and members of the public at large.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The MDC youths blamed the crisis on Mnangagwa\u2019s \u201cillegitimacy\u201d, suggesting that their leader, Nelson Chamisa had a national dialogue plan that would rescue Zimbabwe.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe leadership vacuum at the helm of the country coupled with the illegitimate and clueless Mnangagwa has not helped the burning situation the country has found itself in. The people\u2019s president, \u2026Chamisa and the MDC party have come up with a five-point plan for national dialogue that would help boost confidence in our political processes and in our economy. The five-point plan is people centred and aimed at easing the economic hardships if implemented, however, the inept and irresponsible Mnangagwa government remains elusive,\u201d the youth assembly said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The statement also added that it was high time the country\u2019s citizens embarked on non-routine rules and procedures to salvage the country that is on the brink of total collapse. This comes as the opposition youth league recently clashed with the police after resolving to conduct massive protests against government without first notifying the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Secretary-general of the MDC youth assembly Lovemore Chinoputsa told the Daily News that they will start rolling out the demonstrations.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThis year, we are not seeking police clearance because it\u2019s our time to liberate ourselves. We cannot leave our liberation to a group of people that are captured and that also need to be liberated from the jaws of Zanu PF.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0MDC youth assembly is set to hold a series of demonstrations next week to protest worsening economic conditions in Zimbabwe.
