April 12, 2008 (LPAC)--A high-level Zimbabwean source reported to EIR (Executive Intelligence Review) today that the emergency summit of the 14-nation Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) to take place tomorrow, was called by SADC chairman, President Mwanawasa of Zambia, under pressure from UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Brown wants to get the SADC to put pressure on Zimbabwe's Zanu_PF, and Zimbabwe's President, Robert Mugabe, to form a unity government with the British-led opposition movement, the MDC. At this time, where financial fallout has hit worldwide, the British are moving swiftly to reassert themselves, without consent, upon African nations, whose resources they view as their own.
Another Zimbabwe official source told EIRNS today that every SADC head of state knows that the election in Zimbabwe was carried out under conditions of economic warfare against the country, which has imposed incredible suffering on the population, so it will take a lot of threats from the British--which the British are in the process of mobilizing--to force SADC to go along with this idea they have been doing up to now.
Britain's opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, has called for a big demonstration on Tuesday, hoping to provoke violence in the country, as is still happening in Kenya. The government has outlawed demonstrations until the vote totals are released. The latter Zimbabwe source said that a lot of irregularities have been discovered in the vote tallies, with pro-MDC election workers making changes. He said Tsvangirai's total could come way down, as a result. Independent sources have also reported that the MDC could lose its two-seat margin when the irregularities have been rectified.
In their onslaught against Zimbabwe, the British are activating all their British Fabian Society assets in the region, including in the ruling ANC party in South Africa. The ANC Secretary General, Gwede Mantashe, told the South African Mail and Guardian today, that "To me the proposals on putting together a government of national unity make sense. This is what we as the ANC like to see happening." Leading figures in Cosatu, the trade union federation, and the South African Communist party, are supporting the MDC. The trade union movement in particular is heavily influenced by the British Fabian Society.
