I’m reliably advised regime has arrested MDC MP, Rusty Markham and Japhet Ncube, the ZCTU Secretary General. The crackdown continues #ZimabweShutDown #ZimbabweAtrocities
I have now been advised that MP Rusty Markham has been released. He had an unassailable alibi. But that’s our system - arrest first, investigate later! Thoughts with all those still detained.
Just to correct: the ZCTU SG is Japhet Moyo (not Ncube) - apologies for the error.

1. A lot of people did not appreciate what happened in November 2017. Or they chose not to see. Zimbabwe became a military state with a facade of civilian rule. Well, it was in some ways after 2008, but Mugabe’s dominance did not make it so plain. Since 2017, it’s been plain.
2. The soldiers got endorsement from the judiciary when Justice Chiweshe ruled in a contrived case that the military operation was lawful, notwithstanding that the then President had not deployed them. It was a fatal stroke. And here we are: the military does what it wants.
3. Those who ask why soldiers are doing this forget that they congratulated them & said they were right. This is the price we are all paying. They got a taste of the gun against citizens & they are using the only weapon they know. Talk of a man with only a hammer in his toolbox

1. Amid the chaos & repression in #Zimbabwe, there are few islands of reason & professionalism. One of them is the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission, with a constitutional mandate to protect & enforce human rights. Its remarkable report is essential reading zhrc.org.zw/monitoring-rep…
2. The ZHRC pulls no punches. This authoritative report is one for the record books. It says “systematic torture” is being used by the military and the police, targeting the opposition and civil society #ZimbabweAtrocities
3. The ZHRC analyses the numerous rights that have been violated and continue to be infringed with absolute impunity #ZimbabweAtrocities

1. The generation presently in charge of the country is bereft of the competence necessary to run the affairs of the State & deliver the public goods of good governance & economic prosperity. The generation wants power but sadly, it lacks the competence. They are simply incapable
2. Having been in positions of power for 38 years, they really have no excuse. They were part of a system that literally impoverished the majority of citizens. If they were young people today and out of power, they would be feeling exactly what the young people are feeling today.
3. After 38 years at the top of the pile, you would think they have made a tonne of wealth & need a rest. They could ride into the sunset while younger, innovative and more capable hands run the country. What is the point of slaughtering citizens for a country that is comatose?

@MillenPolitics
Senior political reporter Heidi Cuda (@foxycuda) picks the brain of federal prosecutor Julie Werner-Simon on the gobsmacking information contained in the Cohen memos.

Read their 7 biggest takeaways from Robert Mueller's filings yesterday. millennialpolitics.co/7-takeaways-fr…
“The writing in the sentencing memos read like a crime novel:

‘He was motivated…by personal greed. And repeatedly used power and influence for deceptive ends.’

‘While many Americans…knocked on doors..Cohen sought to influence the election from the shadows.’”-@foxycuda for #MP
1. MICHAEL COHEN GOT A DEAL

“This is Michael Cohen’s emotional bar mitzvah,” says Julie Werner-Simon. “The question is whether Cohen,like other white collar defendants who appear ‘surprised’ to get time for nonviolent crimes—will actually realize that he has been given a break.”
