|||Zimbabwe's MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai has said that his party will emulate violent protests that toppled governments in North Africa if it deems it necessary, Zimbabwe's Herald online reported on Monday.
Addressing his supporters in Che-gutu on Sunday Tsvangirai said that some people blamed his party for not violently toppling the government.
“I want to tell foreigners who have been saying the MDC is this or that, they have to know that each struggle has its own milestones.
“Yes, those in Egypt might have gone to the city and toppled the government while those in Libya had to take weapons, in Malawi they are in the streets.
“The way we fight differs because the people and the conditions in that country define each revolution... another tactic can be employed... we don't want violence.”
He urged Copac (Zimbabwe Constitution Select Committee) to expedite the constitution-making process so that the country could have a referendum in October or November this year.
“There must be an agreement that there is no violence as we go for elections and there should be a guarantee that whoever wins, will be respected,” he said. - Sapa
