1. I don’t recall a time when the regime has been in such fire-firefighting mode:
• Defending ED & threats over Draxgate
• JOC’s bizarre statement denying existence of a “coup rumour”
• Issuing threats over the Farm Mechanisation Scandal
• Attacking the abducted MDC Trio

2. More statements:
• Attacking the MDC Alliance & organisers concerning 31 July
• Attacking Julius Malema & EFF concerning land compensation
• Attacking the ANC Secretary General for condemning human rights violations

3. More statements:
• Severely attacking US Ambassador
• Defending Kuda Tagwirei after US sanctions
• Statement chiding South Africa for intervening by sending envoys
• Letter severely criticising African Union head for raising concerns over human rights violations

4. More statements:
• an unrestrained and disgraceful attack on the Catholic Archbishop of Harare after the Catholic Bishops pastoral letter

The scatter-gun approach is a pattern suggesting a government in panic mode & has lost control of the narrative #ZimbabweanLivesMatter
