Advisory Note: #SADC do not be held captive with prevailing hype, photo of weapons and arms fades taking into consideration actual capabilities and an occasion of official visits. I
Insurgents are relying on their grandest ally: time. Leaders disclosed nothing new and there are several not mentioned.
Step back and just answer one question: does current "stroll in the park" victories accompanied by skirmishes correlate with what we know about their capabilities and capacities?

1/ What military options are available if you’ve got a nasty insurgency attacking parts of your country & citizens? If you're, say, #Mozambique🇲🇿, it turns out the menu of potential options is quite large. Of course, they might not work but here’s the menu as I see it...
2/ In no particular order. Option 1: #Mozambique🇲🇿 could handle its insurgency alone with its own national security forces.
3/ Option 2: #Mozambique🇲🇿 could supplement its national security forces with bilateral security force assistance #SFA programs from other states e.g. 🇺🇸🇫🇷🇵🇹 etc. Training, equipping, advising, maybe field mentoring etc.

1. Many #Zimbabweans think 2008 situation in #Zimbabwe was unique n this has been largely due to the fact that we are so insular n so polarized we look at things in terms of @ZANUPF_Official n @mdczimbabwe. Bt 2008 there was a Global Financial Meltdown.
2. In First World Countries, Governments had to step in to save Financial Institutions from collapse m folding up. There was a Financial Crisis across the World. #Zimbabwe as a country already under sanctions was severely affected coz it had no external credit lines.
3. The ZWD as it was then, was deliberately shorted...yes, attacked deliberately. Many will doubt this but there is precedence to it you know. George Soros once shorted the British Pound itself. Its a deliberate position adapted in the Money Market.

@PLAASuwc researcher Refiloe Joala @phfiphfi says there's a "silver lining" to #COVID19 in Africa's #FoodSyste: Shoprite across various African countries has had to seek local suppliers due to border closures. Rather than importing SA foods, turned to supporting local producers. Image
More generally, it will be important to get governments across the region to engage with food producers, traders & consumers (ie. all of us) about how #COVID19 is changing our #FoodSystem. Exporting SA's food supply chains is not going to be the answer for #foodsecurity in #SADC.
At #FoodSystem #COVID dialogue:
1. The Latin American model established parallel state institutions: ministries of agriculture focused on commercial farmers & agribusinesses, alongside ministries of agrarian reform focused on redistributing land & supporting family farmers

1.The reported deployment of Zim troops in Mozambique represents further reproduction of illegalities&I’ll thought actions by the regime . Assuming there is an urgent military situation in #CaboDelgado surely the region collectively must act.A meeting of @SADC_News must be held
2.The #SADC Organ on Defense &Security should surely have met.This kind of unilateralism which we saw during the #DRC civil is foolish &costly &against basic tenets of international law Wars are protracted &costly.The involvement of the region was precondition to any involvement
3.Further any involvement should only have been part of a #SADC Mission&nothing else. Parliament should be notified& constitution should be followed But Zim is in #COVID war & can’t even afford basic PCR Tests .This move is total madness .Zim can’t afford unilateralism nor a war

I can't stop thinking about the Afrikaans university being build. White people mobilized 300 million amongst themselves. This uni is already under construction, and whites have yet again created an employment project worth 4,5 million. Dear black people.... (THREAD) stay with me!
Dear black people, whilst we are busy killing each other, white people are BUILDING THEMSELVES. Whilst we are busy violating, abusing & committing femicide, white people are BUILDING THEMSELVES. Whilst we are busy "shutting down" the country, white people are BUILDING THEMSELVES
Dear black people, whilst we are busy being "activists", "feminists" and so forth and so on, WHITE PEOPLE ARE BUILDING FOR THEMSELVES. Whilst we are busy "Thuma mina-ring", WHITE PEOPLE ARE BUILDING. Building generational wealth, a whole university and they are successful at it!

1/11 Perhaps by some divine coincidence I need not explain, earlier I had a deeply worrying chat with @MDCAllianceZW Vice President #SenatorMorganKomichi who's in Harare over a cell phone line. I cannot live with my conscience without sharing what #SenatorKomichi told me!
#ZimSoS
2/11 #SenatorKomichi said the second total Internet shutdown was effected around 10pm yesterday. The military & #ZanuPF militia used that Internet shutdown along with nightfall to unleash untold horror upon residents of high density suburbs in all cities across #Zimbabwe!
#ZimSoS
3/11 #SenatorKomichi said while #Bulawayo & #Harare are the most affected, all cities & towns in the country are suffering the same assaults. He said he & his colleagues have been overwhelmed by desperate #SoS messages of killings, torture, rape, injuries & abductions!

1/10 My good Professor, let us shame the devil by telling the truth. Given the gravity of the matter at hand, it's fair & in the public interest to answer your question with reference to its surrounding circumstances & factual background in order to tell a COMPLETE narrative!
2/10 The #ZanuPF poll group I adumburated on the thread I tweeted here on 10 January 2019 extensively ENGAGED YOU Prof; on its strategy to END #SadcZim mediation ahead of the 2013 election, and to SET THE ELECTION DATE through a ConCourt process, outside GPA negotiations!
3/10 It was out of its engagement with you that the #ZanuPF 2013 poll group got you, @CharityManyeruk & me accredited for the June 2013 #Sadc summit in Maputo. That accreditation was done in advance of the summit by submitting names & passport details to the #Sadc secretariat!

One need not hold a brief for @dewamavhinga to realise how shocking, outrageous & unacceptable it is for Strive Masiyiwa to accuse Dewa of cyberbullying his wife; & top that by peddling his crap accusation on the Internet while name dropping, in the hope of costing Dewa his job!
1/24 The self-righteous outburst by #StriveMasiyiwa, supported by his fellow bible-quoting juntapreneurs, in response to a polite & genuine concern by @dewamavhinga reveals he holds himself as an untouchable who is beyond criticism. Yet his closet is full of despicable skeletons!
2/24 #StriveMasiyiwa has escaped scrutiny, thanks to Zimbabwe's flawed public discourse which has never been about facts, truth or ideas but about "good guys" versus "bad guys"; presumed to be such by definition, not by deed. So Zimbabwe, sadly, has no culture of truth-telling!
