Ray Nkosi | The European Union has lauded President Robert Mugabe’s standing down, as showing that “that he has listened to the people’s voices.”

In a diplomatically worded statement issued by the EU High Representative/Vice-President Federica Mogherini on the situation in Zimbabwe, the union said, ” It is important now that an inclusive dialogue is established that respects the aspirations of the people of Zimbabwe for a more prosperous and democratic future, and which encourages the acceleration of key reforms.”

In an earlier statement the EU demands that there be reforms first leading to credible elections before funds are released to the new Zimbabwe regime. A point immediatley countered by now exiled Professor Jonathan Moyo who took to twitter to write, “The #EU says no significant new funding for Zimbabwe before credible elections. Ok. But the upfront hurdle to cure is that there can be no credible elections organised & conducted by an illegitimate government run by a Junta following a coup d’etat!”

“The EU stands ready to accompany this process in cooperation with the African Union and SADC, and to assist the Zimbabwean people with all instruments at its disposal in order to meet that objective,” demands the EU.

  1. Yea reforms. Including the security sector reforms. But the junta will never reform its soldiers out of politics never ever.
