<\/p>\nMDC president Nelson Chamisa on Thursday said that he will only engage in dialogue with President Emmerson Mnangagwa when the government has put an end to arbitrary arrests and persecution of his party members.<\/p>\n
Chamisa vowed to mobilize his supporters to demonstrate peacefully across the country. He said that the dates of the demonstrations will be revealed in due course.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking during a public lecture in Harare to celebrate the life of the late MDC founding leader Morgan Tsvangirai, Chamisa said:<\/p>\n
The dates of the demonstration will come, but we want this country to be peaceful and prosperous. But that has to be done on account of dialogue and we have said we need dialogue on these issues.<\/p>\n
If Mnangagwa is not willing to dialogue, we will have to invite him to dialogue through political pressure. In terms of the Constitution, we have a democratic right to demonstrate. We will have to bring everyone to Harare and this is the mother of all demonstrations. This country must be liberated.<\/p>\n
We continue on the same path led by Tsvangirai. I have refused to have my victory stolen by Mnangagwa. We are not going to stop, we are going after him until he lets go of what he stole. He has to return what is ours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
