HICHILEMA TAKES ZAMBIA FROM THE ‘PREMIER LEAGUE’ OF NATIONS TO THE LOWEST LEAGUE EVER!

Since his government concocted the militia story to justify human rights abuses and grand electoral malpractices and the killing in cold blood of an innocent former cabinet minister, Hichilema has taken Zambia to the number one spot in international news and the first on the agenda for human rights abuses by the United Nations, the European Union, the Africa Union and the Southern Africa Development Community, SADC.

Everyone is united in their condemnation of his government’s illtreatment of the opposition who he has denied the due process in addition to widespread electoral practices.

The nail in the coffin has been his government’s cold blooded killing of a former cabinet minister thus finally drawing the curtain on his repeated claim as the man who restored the rule of law. Mutotwe Kafwaya’s blood shall forever remain as a stain on his reign while his appearance in person anywhere  or the sight of his presidential portrait in any business premise shall always serve as a reminder of a man whose regime will stop at nothing to retain power. 

By the same token, he has stained the clean image of Zambia on the international stage. A country once associated with the liberation struggle, the home for refugees, the oasis of peace and one of the pioneers of multiparty politics on the African continent, Zambia is now being lectured by those she nurtured into democratic states in respect of how to behave.

By his own actions, the man who proclaimed triumphantly that his coming into office had correspondingly catapulted Zambia into the premier league of nations has plunged her far below the league of some of the worst offenders of basic political rights.

Every attempt by his party and government public relations machinery to blame victims of his reign of terror and bloodshed is throwing wide open the darkest parts of his soul.

It’s not too late to walk back the militia propaganda – the biggest lie ever told by any Zambian government. You can do so without saying so. The international community has given you an idea – release every political prisoner and close the chapter. But Kafwaya’s blood will forever demand justice. If this is not done, this government will kill more of us.
